Vanessa WoodThings can seem pretty quiet while genealogy work is happening. I’ve been working on a collection of genealogical writings and of course there is more research and writing under way. These are some of the projects:
Transcribing hundreds of names on several unpublished legislative petitions.
Following a group migration from North Carolina in the early 1800s into Tennessee tax records.
Researching an unexpected Pryor family story that likely connects one branch of this surname through a two U.S. regions.
Researching and writing about an immigrant family who used multiple name variations, changed their name, and misstated their birth years through decades of records.
Revisiting research in the Revolutionary War period that uncovered a Loyalist and Patriot under on roof (that must’ve made for uncomfortable family dinners!).
