More Data Recovery Projects

I completed data recovery projects for:

• William David Henthorn and Susannah Parrott
• John Henthorn and Mary Eleanor Jarrett
• John Wesley Henthorn and Ursula Anne Hall

I'm working on:

• John Milton Henthorn and Annie Elizabeth Hougland

Each project entails various edits to the records in my old, PAFBIG, file followed by copying the records to my large, pafyoh, file. I'm also using RootsMagic7 to create a Family Group Sheet (FGS) for each project. These FGSs include the Note field information of each person in the FGS. The FGSs are uploaded to my Box account where they are available for Preview or Download by folks who have the URL.

Data Recovery Project

My next data recovery project will be for the family of William David Henthorn and Susannah Parrott of Vermillion Co., IN. William David Henthorn was the son of James Henthorn II and Elizabeth Unknown.

Currently I do most of my genealogy using a file that I named "pafyoh." This file contains thousands of records. 

My goal is to copy all Henthorn(e) data from an older file "PAFBIG" to the newer "pafyoh" file. As part of this project edits must first be done to the older file records.

Edits such as:

• Correct place names from West Virginia to Virginia, if prior to 1863
• Add each person's name to the top of their Note field
• Add PARENTS: to the Note field of the children, if a child Note field exists
• Enter Find A Grave Memorial numbers, if possible
• Remove periods (.) that were used in the Note fields to leave blank lines been paragraphs when I used the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for genealogy. [What a mess that made.]
