\"\"\/As I wait for the verdict on my application to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, I continue to work on this lineage.\n<\/p>\n

I have collected several documents that flesh out the lives of the people in this line. Now I have time to enter this information into my genealogy database.\n<\/p>\n

For example:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rhoda (Hall) Dunbar [generation 8] conveyed land to her children during her lifetime. They, in turn, disposed of it, and I need to put those deeds into the database.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Lucy (Snow) Hall [generation 7] was the subject of a 1916 biographical entry in The Encyclopedia of Massachusetts. <\/em>I can transcribe her story and add it to our family information.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Hannah (Lincoln) Snow [generation 6] paid the Massachusetts and Maine Direct Tax in 1798. I can add this document to my records.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I am sure that if I look into my To-Do bin for the Dunbar family, I can find other material I have not yet entered into my database.\n<\/p>\n

    Tempting as it would be to do more research now, I think cleaning up what I already have would be a better use of my time. Who knows what additional clues I might discover?\n<\/p>\n

    If I analyze and organize what I already have, I will have a better idea of where to turn next for more information on this family. My year is devoted to them, and I want to learn as much as I can.\n<\/p>\n

    Going through my stack of Dunbar material should not take more than a few days. By then I hope to have an answer from the Mayflower Society. That will give me a better idea of where to turn my attention next.\n<\/p>\n

    Genealogists always have something to do, even as they wait for responses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
