A Few Updates

By on 10 April 2006 in Steve's Blog

I did a couple of minor updates to some reports on the site this AM. I received an e-mail today that corrected a couple dates that I had and also added a name here and there. The report in question is the descendant report of Jacques Saurette and his wife, Marguerite. For the casual reader, you won’t find any major changes, but this is the most up-to-date report that I have.

I also ran a new ancestral report from my grandfather on back – it seemed like it was time to update it. I don’t really know if there were any major changes, but I figured that since I was already exporting .pdf files that I might as well add this one too.

I still have not uploaded the new master database in a while, but I hope to do that before too long.

Please continue to e-mail me at srock@saurette.com if you see information that you would like added and/or modified. I appreciate all the contacts that I have made thus far.

Back Burner

By on 28 February 2006 in Steve's Blog

My genealogy has really slowed down as of late. There are a load of reasons for that, but I shall not bore you with them all. But, trying to sell a house, get ready to move, and keep track of my 6-month old keep me very busy. And, in the spare time that I do have, I cannot devote it to genealogy. I’m still interested in helping people out, but don’t look for me to post much new information concerning my own ancestors. I don’t think the database will be uploaded again for a little while now.

Genealogy Milestone

By on 15 November 2005 in Steve's Blog

The upload of the database today marks the number of individuals at 14,001. This happened while I was cleaning up the Desnoyers surname. I was able to make a bunch of connections among the existing people with that name, but I also added some new people there as well.

You can be directed to the Desnoyers surname in either phpGedView or Retrospect-GDS – just click the program you like to view the data in.

Surname Connections

By on 4 November 2005 in Steve's Blog

I have been working with my existing genealogy to fix missing connections among common surnames. For example, I have a bunch of Therrien individuals in my database. Some of those people are all linked to a common Therrien ancestor, but others are just hanging out in limbo and are not connected to anybody. To rectify this, I have started printing out reports and doing my best to link back people of the same ancestor of that surname. This is something that I just started, and I have done the surname Therrien and Cardinal thus far.
