| 1929 Elwood, Indiana City Directory (Binghampton, NY: The Calkin-Kelly Directory Company, 1929), page 131, Lambertson, Clemon; digital image, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 20 August 2014).
While this wasn't the first time I had seen this record (I had previously viewed it at the Elwood Public Library), I was able to save the image to my computer and cite it in my Rootsmagic database and add the image to my Rootsmagic file. I also attached the record to June's husband, Clemon, my maternal great-grandfather.
The record shows that Clemon and June lived at 1906 North F Street in Elwood, and that Clemon's occupation was that of a cabinet maker. This correlates to other information that I've uncovered stating that Clemon worked for the Sellers Kitchen Cabinets.
The directory also lists another Lambertson family, that of Orville J and Martha C, who rented a home at 522 North 14th in Elwood. Orville was the brother of Clemon.

Cousin Bait Tree
I've added an additional tree to my Ancestry.com profile, a "cousin bait" tree full of everyone in my database. This includes my family, Eileen's family, my daughter's family, my stepchildren's family and every one who I'm researching that I've been unable to connect to my main tree. The name of the current version of this tree is entitled Travis LeMaster Genealogy - August 2014.
I'm going to use this tree to find cousin and 'hints' from Ancestry using their shaky leaves to search the records and see ones that could be matched to my database. I'm going to keep my Rootsmagic database as my primary database and will not add any images or attach records to this new tree.
I'm also keeping my current tree online LeMaster & Allied Families which I've been using to direct folks to who have connected to me through my DNA search. I hope to eventually replace it with a more up-to-date version.
My plan is to systematically go through this new tree, review the hints and add the records to my primary database at Rootsmagic. Once I've been able to update it enough, I will periodically replace it.
I'm taking a bit of a hint from Randy over at Geneamusings, though I've not gone so far as to have FamilyTreeMaker installed and have it synced. I need to really dig into the features of Rootsmagic and utilize Ancestry's computers ability to search out records for me automatically.
This summer has been so busy that I really haven't done much in the way of family history research. Hopefully this will inspire me to get back to it.
