The Reeds belonged in 2023. The Carters will take center stage in 2024. Again, I will work on my third great-grandparents.\n<\/p>\n<p>Just as Anne and Thomas Reed did, Mary and John Carter migrated to Coles County, Illinois about 1830. The Carters traveled from Tennessee.\n<\/p>\n<p>For the Reed research, I had a tremendous amount of paperwork collected by many family members. It covered several generations of Reeds from my own grandfather to Thomas&#8217; grandfather. I have sought to organize it and discard duplicates, focusing on Thomas and Anne first.\n<\/p>\n<p>I sorted it into piles by generation. Now, at the end of the year, I have eliminated Thomas&#8217; and his son Caleb&#8217;s stacks. Three others remain. They will have to wait until the Reeds come up again in my research rotation. Again, the Reed bin will be full and look unmanageable.\n<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, I have little material on my Carter family. My family did not retain much information about them. They seem to pose a more difficult line to follow with lots of family members and scarce records.\n<\/p>\n<p>Next week I will begin the quest to learn more about John Carter (1790-1841) and Mary Templeton (1792-1857). Again, I will pull out the notes and documents my cousins collected. I will look at online trees to see if I can verify what if find there.\n<\/p>\n<p>The new year awaits.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/genealogyjottings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/122723_1749_ChangingPro1.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this final week of the year, I am setting aside the old research project and preparing to begin the new.
