Family Ties
Aug. 20th, 2006 09:08 pmThe great thing about genealogy, is that you wind up making contact with distant - and not-so-distant - relatives that you had no idea even existed.
Case in point, after a few hours of work, I now have 2065 people in my family tree - and I still have several other branches of the Ingoldsby/Ingalsbe/Ingalsby/Engalsby lines to go, all because a relative in the Ingalsbe line saw my earlier post and made contact (Thanks Duffy!) I've been entering in data from 90-something pages of information, going all the way back to 1230 AD and Sir Roger Ingoldsby, Lord of the Manor Skynand and the Manor of Ingoldesby, England.
( Regicides, Vikings, and Other Ramblings )
Still much more work to do - to get the rest of the Ingoldsby lines recorded, and to continue through the cubic foot or so of paperwork my dad left me. There's also a lot of interesting little bits of legend, story, and history around the ancestors in the Ingoldsby document and in my father's material - but that will be a second or third pass through the materials before I assimilate all of it into one place. As I said, much more work to do.
Oh, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snowy_owlet? I've got that Sons of the American Revolution thing down and documented in a dozen or so places, if I want it. Now, do I actually want to go there? =)
