Genealogy Jottings

We always tell beginning genealogists to start out by gathering family papers. I thought I had done that years ago. Yet this week I came across a folder of documents I did not know we had. My father seems to have done some genealogy research shortly after he retired in the 1980’s. I found copies of  Reed papers from libraries and courthouses. Some of these were on my research to-do list because I had no idea my dad had already done the work. And good work it was! I just wish he had told me about it long ago.
