Jenny,
Making a To-Do category for unconnected people is a great idea! There
are several people I am almost sure belong to my family, but I'm not
quite sure how they are related. Keeping their names in a To-Do list
category will help me to find them all in one place quickly. Thanks
for this
Michele,
I can see that, As I only publish on my web pages on which I do not wish to
have census images, I just wondered why transcribe. Although I have no
intention of publishing a book, I very much doubt if I would wish to include
transcripts of censuses, sources certainly. I know some

the children to the parents etc. I do have a census event BUT I

Hi:
A nice program for doing screen prints is SnagIt. It is very inexpensive, and
does more than just the normal screen print that one can do with the key board.

I believe that is worded that way is because the Grand Uncle is the person
related by blood. If the aunt were the one related by blood, it would be
worded Grand Aunt and the husband would be husband of Grand Aunt.

Actually, the error occurs when the couple involved are the biological parents
of the child. Only if one of them were a step-parent and not the biological
parent of the child should the spouse be called husband or wife of the Grand
Uncle or Grand Aunt rather than by the correct designation.
Michele --- I have a question for you. I know this has been addressed on
this list before -- so sorry for asking again.
But I too transcribe census records as you do. How do you list them in your

What error? What child? What correct designation?

The Grand Uncle (or Aunt) must have a child to be related to you. It is their
child. If the Grand Uncle and Aunt are the biological parents, they should be
designated as the Grand Uncle and Aunt. If one of them is a step-parent of the
child, then he/she might be designated as the
Hogwash. The Grand Uncle (or Aunt) is a brother (or sister) to one of his
