My WikiTree


I've been slowly putting my file on WikiTree.  Not as a GEDCOM but one individual at a time.  I can fill in the things I have but have not charted and recheck things as I go.  My file and my WikiTree are being sync-ed up as I go.  I love that I can add just about anything to my pages, and present the facts as I like.  I find them easy on the eye and very easy to put together.

My grandmother, Bizzie Lee Beard Brock has a page that I will eventually add memories to under the bio area.  My hope is that people that knew her will add their memories and information as well.  Those that have her in their tree, but did not know her, will get a clear picture of who she was and be able to add sources to their file or her page.  I can also add the name of the person who shared the information with me.

Back to Business


TwigTalk has been inactive for some time.  There is a reason for my absence.  I have been ill for quite a while.  Hard to get a doctor to give you any time or have any real interest until there is proof.  A blood count of 5.7 brought about some
interest.  After many tests, a specialist and time, a couple of days before Christmas I was diagnosed with High Risk MDS or High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.  I will be blogging about that journey on my other personal blog, This Side of My Monitor  from now on.

Here at TwigTalk I hope to get back to blogging about my research again.  I need an interest to get absorbed into. One of the things I have been doing is putting my 4 files together into one big one.  I read an article some time back about cross-overs
and duplicates being easier to deal with.  I wish I could remember the name of the blogger that wrote it. I think it is a good idea although I do seem to be moving slowly.  I want to be sure not to make any mistakes.
