John,
These are all good things to remember. There’s a massive cemetery in Lisbon Falls with many of my relatives and some of Jack’s. I have difficulty remembering their location. Now I have some tools in my back pocket to help me with that.

Jeff,
I never look happy in photos. It is a good day if I’m awake. 99% of the photos we have of me are of me sleeping. Sad! Pam and I could be the couple in the following cartoon.

Don’t say I do. You and I don’t look too happy about it. Lol.

John,
The early years I need to get to you or Jim since they will be more meaningful to you guys. They are in total disarray. A few things I can discern, but a lot looks like mom and dad’s friends. They must have honeymooned in Niagara Falls. Lol. That’s where some of the pics I sent came.

John,
I couldn’t open the three attachments you sent. Yes, I know how to use a flash drive. I told you I’m a hacker and a probie if you will, but I’m learning a lot just by trying different things, making mistakes, etc.

Jeff,
One of the images confirms what I suspected, and Dad didn’t answer for me when I asked in my letter.
He had a stepmother. Mystery solved.

Beth,
I need to explain the use of sources and why I think you are missing something important.
I have attached two profiles of Jack’s father (my uncle). Note a large number of sources on my copy. Sources confirm the accuracy of a tree by identifying where the information can be verified. Manually doing this would be very difficult. Ancestry makes it easy with their HINT’s for if you accept a HINT, ancestry records where it got the information for you.
In addition to comparing my profile for Uncle Norman, there is another way for you to see this. Go into my record for Uncle Norman in my tree. Place the cursor over any fact. When you do — lines will be drawn from that fact to the sources where that information is verified.
Does this help?
For the number of individuals in your trees, you should have sources and lots of images that come simply from accepting Ancestry HINTs as being accurate.
