I wanna see, too! This is the thread I started....and I don't mind you continuing the conversation. I'll keep my eye out for either. I, too, use binders. Any ORIGINAL birth certs/marriage certs, I keep in one binder and have been making copies for the binder for that family. It can get crazy!!! Every morning I wake up and go 'quilt, genealogy, quilt, genealogy"...VERY hard to decide sometimes!!!

BTW - I DO look for documentation....found a relative (3rd cousin) that has written a book. She has diaries, docs, etc. She's working now to combine all THOSE into a book! wow!!!

Ancestry.com does have misinformation in it. If you really follow one of the misinformations, ie name spelled wrong, you'll find that one person puts in the wrong info, and others copy it thinking it's correct. I am only picking up info that has documentation. The original information I found on my grandmother was done by her nephew, my father's cousin. I met him once....and firmly believe he has the information correct! I feel fortunate to have found ANYTHING on her!!!
