Update on Ancestry

I've more or less decided to use Ancestry as a working place. I take some kinds of absurd data and link it -- when it comes from other Ancestry trees. I can clean it up later.

Today I started with Lucy Miller, then her father Elizur, his father Abijah who Aunt Esther thought was named Abner. I found parents for Abijah -- John Miller and Prudence Hollister. Both have hints. There are also a number of children. The "absurd data" usually is duplicate entries for the same child, with slightly different names.

John Miller has parents William Miller and Mary Bushnell. Both have hints. There are also a number of children.

William Miller has parents William Miller and Patience Bacon. Both have hints. There are also children.

This William Miller is an immigrant. There are multiple spouses and children. His parents are William Miller and Margaret Dennis. Both have hints.

This William Miller has children and parents John Miller and Agnes Kellet. Both have hints.
John Miller has children and parents William Miller and Eilzabeth Cutler. Both have hints.
This William Miller has parents John Miller and Alice Lawe. They have hints.
This John Miller has parents Johannes Miller and Margaret Carter. They have hints.
Johannes Miller has children and parents William Miller and Johanna Rolph. They have hints.
This William Miller has children and parents Hans Miller and Magdalena Welser. They have hints.
Hans Miller is the end of the line
Magdalena Welser has another spouse and children and parents Lukas Welser and Ursula Launger. They have hints.
Lukas Welser has children and parents Bartolomaus Welser and Catharina Ridler. They have hints.
Bartholomaus Welser has children, other spouse(s) and parents Bartholomaus Welser and Radegunda Suelmann. They have hints.

This Bartolomaus Welser has children and parents Hans Welser and Elisabeth Rehlinger. They have hints.
Hans Welser has another spuse and parents Bartholomaus Welser and Catharina Parth. They have hints.
This Bartholomaus Welser has children and parents Conrad Welser and Elisabeth Langenmantel. They have hints.
Conrad Welser has an alternative wife, child, and parents Bartholomaus Welser and Margaretha Wildberger. They have hints.
This Batholomaus Welser has alternative wife, and father Seifreid Welser. He has a hint.
Seifreid Welser has children and parents Heinrich Welser and Elisabetha Eggenberger. They have hints.
Heinrich Welser has parents Conrad Welser and Catharina Ilsung. She has a hint.
Catharina Ilsung has parents Friedrich Ilsung and Anna DeStein. They have hints.
Friedrich Ilsung has another child and is end of line.
Anna DeStein is also end of line.
Suddenly Conrad Welser has a hint so he has parents Bartholomaus Welser and Anna Stolzhirsch. They have hints.
This Bartholomaus Welser has parents Lucas Welser and Elisabetha VonWartensee. They have hints.
Lucas Welser ... well you get the idea. I'll just keep going.
I find I need this ist to go back down the tree. There are:
Paulus Welser and Anne Eggenberger
Octavianus Welser and Sibylla VonWildeck
Julius Welser
Anton Welser here I stopped in the 10th century. This all seems very fanciful to me.
But I continue back down the tree.
Sibylla VonWildeck is end of line.
Anne Eggenberger is end of line. I left her hints there as a way of indentifying the trees from which the hints come.
Elisabetha VonWartensee is end of line. Hints left.
Anna Stolzhirsch has father Sebald Stolzhirsch who is end of line.
Elisabetha Eggenberger is end of line. I'll stop saying hints left.
Anna Speet is end of line
Margaretha Wildberger is end of line.
Elisabeth Langenmantel vom Sparren has parents Heinrich Langenmantel vom Sparren and Elisabeth, then
Marquard Langenmantel vom Sparren and Elsbeth -- there's nore but I stop. This is the 13th century.
Catharina Parth is end of line.
Elisabeth Rehlinger has parents in some tress, but I am just leaving the hints because this all very uncertain.
Radegunda Suelmann also has parents. This is still the 14th century; I'm skipping them.
William Miller (1470) is first Miller shown in England. His wife is Johanna Rolph. She has hints in 16 trees. Many copy each other (as I have been doing) and give her mother as Mrs. John Rolph. If I select all, Ancestry chooses Mrs. John Rolph. I'm leaving this one too.

In fact, I'm leaving the whole thing for now. See next post.
