From Deed to Map | The Shy Genealogist
https://theshygenealogist.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/from-deed-to-map
Researching Russell Co, Kentucky. From Deed to Map. Asymp; 14 Comments. To begin to draw a map of your ancestor’s land similar to the sketches made by the surveyors, you first need to understand the code . Let’s use an example: S 30 E 74 poles. There are 3 pieces of information here. The 2 letters indicates a number of degrees. So we will be drawing a line that is 30. In the SE direction. The final number gives the length. 74 poles. You can measure your degrees with a regular protractor from the school s...

Researching Russell Co, Kentucky. Asymp; 1 Comment. I have an 8 x 5 genealogy planner. I spent a lot of time selecting a planner cover that looked professional so that I could take it with me anywhere and not have to worry about looking childish (as I am very often drawn to bright colors! I’m trying to consolidate all of the notes I’ve written and lists that I’ve made to put them onto the forms that I’ve created so that I can get them into the planner with the organization method ...Lists with check mark...

https://theshygenealogist.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/now-where-was-i
Researching Russell Co, Kentucky. Now where was I…. Asymp; Leave a comment. It’s been months since I’ve been able to look at my genealogy, but I have a couple of days now with some free time and I’m looking forward to digging back into my research! But when I pulled out my binder of research, I find that I’m at a loss as to where to begin. What theory am I currently trying to prove/disprove? What piece of information am I trying to find? What was the last resource I looked at? Larr; Previous post. Notify...

https://theshygenealogist.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/learning-from-the-inventory
Researching Russell Co, Kentucky. Learning from the Inventory. In John M Smith. Asymp; 1 Comment. Yesterday, I decided to transcribe the inventory that was taken for John M Smith’s estate. Because the only census that I have for John was the 1830 census, there wasn’t much to know about John personally based on that. So what could I learn from the inventory? I’m keeping the spellings used in the inventory.). I believe that John was a farmer. He had 5 plows, one shovel, a hoe, a flax break and barrel, ...

Researching Russell Co, Kentucky. Pleasant Surprise with Google Drive. Asymp; 2 Comments. I spent the weekend transferring re-discovered files from an external drive into my Google Drive and while doing so, I discovered a few discrepancies in the files names of some records. Specifically, some file names used the abbreviation “Bk” while some spelled out the word “Book”. While I was updating those, I also added a new level of detail to the file names. Larr; Previous post.
