Genealogy Update

Yea I just got done with a long project on the family tree!  You haven't heard much from me in the last week because I had to exchange my computer and set everything back up.  Plus I kept coming across similar sounding names and families within my family tree.  I decided to go through the list of all people and do a clean up.  Merging all duplicates, and deleting any floaters that remained.  Floaters are people I got while attaching records or converging with other ancestry.com member trees, only to later on find out they weren't relevant and deleted the head of the family.  The floaters are the other people attached to the deleted person, who didn't go away.  Anyway since this is a combined tree for my son, there are a lot of people in it.  The total trimmed tree is up to 3,133 people!  I still have lots of work to do on it, and I am sure there will be more people added.  At least what is there now is relevant.
So yea! Now I can get working on the heritage book again.  I can also start working on the Ancestry for the remaining lines.  I also plan to go through and make sure I have as much descendent data as possible as well.  It's always nice to know who my son might be related to, to prevent future issues.  :)  More interesting stuff to come soon.  Just had to stay focused on that one task, so that I would quit coming across duplicates (tangled branches). LOL :)

BTW…I made the connection that Henry Jackson Tallent was Fannie Bell's father because of her sister Lucinda showing up on the census with him.  My mother-in-law remembered that Lucinda Neely was Fanny's sister.

That is all I could find on him.  Next up his father, Johnathon Jackson Tallent.
