Jumping Back into the WorldConnect Waters

I've decided to jump back into the WorldConnect waters and post a database at their site again. My database is TJLGenes. Right now this database is my line of descent from Abraham Lemaster (c1636/39-1722) of St. Mary's & Charles Co., MD.

I previously had posted a database at WorldConnect, and may expand this database in the future. There are numerous errors throughout WorldConnect, but at least it does offer a starting point, and a point of contact among researchers. My hope is that someone will find some connection in my database, and they in turn can help me.

As I continue to update my FamilyTree Maker database with source materials, I will upload periodically to WorldConnect. Currently I am working on census images that I obtained through my subscription to the Godfrey library before they lost Heritage Quest.

Sourcing Census Images

I've been working on sourcing my census images that I had downloaded from Godfrey Library back when they allowed access to Heritage Quest. I have accumulated quite a few of them in the short time I was a Godfrey scholar, and I figured now was the time to get started added the information to my FTM file.

Right now I'm into the Chew family branches that went to Charlevoix Co., MI, particularly the Donovan Chew family. Interesting stuff in the 1920 census, as far as details about whether or not someone owns their home or if it is mortgaged.

It will be a slow going to get all of this information sourced, but already I've discovered new distant cousins and family relationships.
