Overlooked

            There are a lot of ancestors that I have “overlooked”.  Yet, I’m trying to methodically work through my tree by doing a “go-over”.  I’m making sure I have the right documents to back up the information.

Unfortunately, it seems I start over every year and don’t get very far.  Yet, if I really look back over the past year, I have done quite well.

I started with my maiden name.  I worked back to my immigrant.  Then I worked on my immigrant’s wife’s family until I was able to verify her parents’ names.

Now, I’m working on my paternal great grandmother’s parents.  I know their names, but I don’t know their parents’ names.  DNA analysis is the tool I’m using now.  Although, I will eventually need to locate church records either in Wisconsin or in Bavaria.

So, you can say that I am overlooking my mother’s family tree.  However, I will eventually start working on them again.  Especially, once I finish determining the blank spots on my paternal 3x great grandparents.
