All Things Manire 2.0

I've been asked why I had taken down one of my family trees. I replied that I had found a bunch of mistakes and it was easier to take it down and redo it (mostly from scratch) so I could verify my information more. I have tons and tons of notes that I'm slowly going thru. Especially then I tend to find I have multiply copies of the same notes. I really don't need multiply copies LOL.

I have the Family Tree Maker software that links up with Ancestry.com. I can start my tree in my software and then link it to Ancestry.com so that when I make changes it automatically does it on Ancestry or vice versa. Currently I'm working on the All Things Manire 2.0 Family Tree. As you can see in the title I'm putting up any information I find dealing with the Manire/Manier name. I'm trying to link as many of the families together as I can. I'm adding my own little notes on the Ancestry side about the events that I have documented there. I'm adding pictures and as many documents as I have found (which is hundreds it seems).

So far I've recorded all the Manire's with first names starting with the Letter A... including parents and spouses if I have the info. I have about 369 names so far. I still have letters B - Z to get thru. It will be interesting to see how many names I end up with at the end of the Alphabet.

I like puzzles and this is like a huge big puzzle. I like when I can find stuff that other people haven't found. I've been told I've kinda become one of the official Family Researchers.. well at least to some. And that's kewl. It's fun to help others find information about their family.

Right now as i'm still adding information to the Manires 2.0 so I have it as a Private tree that doesn't show up in the search engine on Ancestry.com. I hope to release it to the search engine as soon as I've gotten at least all the Manire names in and have as many of the people linked up in families as I can.
