John (NY),
Thank you! The information on recent information was needed to correct the other news I was using. I was getting the generations mixed up. I believe all is in order now for when you elect to view the Family Tree. ?
When you decide it time to begin using Ancestry.com, the following should make it easier.
I have used the Suffix field for other than its intended use for recording Jr., Sr., etc. In my record, I use the label FL, and in your record, I use the label NY. Using the standard search function will show us the right individual with less thought about spelling and dates. There are a lot of similarly named records. I also placed Father, Uncle, and Grandfather in the suffix field. Less confusing for me this way.
I recommend as a first step; you use search to find the NY record and then select the option to show the tree with you as the “root” person. It gives you a family flow chart where you can click on individuals to obtain more details.
After exploring NY, I encourage you to do the same but with FL as the “root” person.
Enjoy!
John, FL
