Anniedeb......lol, twisted branches, lol. I know what you mean. Don't we all? I love the research also. Did she mean that about the changed regarding her tree? I know that in the census Ancestry offers the opportunity to change that if you find a mistake. I don't know what's involved or if just anyone can make changes because I didn't try it. I was searching for my widowed great-grandmother whom my mother said she knew and the time period I was looking in my mother hadn't been born yet. I eventually found her as living with her youngest daughter and her husband. I think they were living with her in her home as far as I could tell. So she was the 'head of house' and they should have been listed as they were related to her. And then I never found her in the census again and I would not have looked for her except my mother said she knew her. The hunt is very exciting. And, oh my, when you find a good connection!
