What’s New Wednesday ~ Busy, Busy, Busy
Posted August 26th, 2009 by Paula | Comments OffI don’t really have anything new to say about the website, I just wanted to put up a quick post to let everyone know I am still here and I am still researching, I’ve just been busy and a bit scatterbrained. I have been waiting for the Bonner library to tell me that a book was in, but I’ve pretty much given up on them, and have requested the book through the Johnson County Library. I’ve started doing some research on Mary Ester Corel – Puckett’s children and have found even more lines crossing and connecting with other lines, so I have been going back and doing a bit more digging on the Matney’s and the Steele’s, who were both much more influential in the Kansas City area than I had realized!
I hope that everyone has had a good summer and is ready for that ‘back to school’ mode!

What’s New Wednesday ~ Images!
Posted August 12th, 2009 by Paula | Comments OffAs I mentioned Monday, in my mini-rant, I have begun adding images to the site. I haven’t gotten very far yet, because I was seriously distracted yesterday by the “freebie” from World Vital Records! I hope all of you other genealogists out there have signed up for the free days!
Along the top and bottom of each page, you will notice that there is a new link in the navigation: Images. Right now there are only three links that are ‘live’ on the page: 1820, 1830, and sources. I’ve decided to split it up in this way, so that I can add more records later, if needed. As I have been adding these census images, I have also been updating the William & Rebecca page, with links that will take you to the image thumbnail of the census I am discussing.
When you are on one of the thumbnail pages (so far only 1820 and 1830) when you click the image, a new window will open showing you a larger image. I think most browsers are pretty much the same on this: you should be able to click on the large image to get it to 100% and then be able to scroll through the image.
This side project may take me a little bit to get all caught up, so please bear with me. I have about 75 images of census records only that only cover William and Rebecca (Oney) Corel, Jemima Corel and David McGlothlin, Mary McGlothlin, Henry H. McGlothlin, Martha Jane McGlothlin, Shadrack McGlothlin, Henry Highland and Nancy Matney, Jemima M. Corel, and Julia Ann Corel. I also have images showing war service, newspaper articles, birth and death records, pages from books, and marriage records! I have also gathered some of the images for the Corel by Chance families. On the bright side, this will give me some time while I wait for my latest request for inter library loan, on the Parman family. I think that I will also try to do some preliminary research on the children of Mary Ester Corel Puckett, so I might be able to start moving a bit quicker. Well, except for the next week – I have jury duty! I’m hoping I won’t be selected, so I will be able to do my research, but I may very well be stuck without a computer next week!!

Madness Monday ~ Newly Found Frustration!
Posted August 10th, 2009 by Paula | Comments OffOver the weekend I decided to take a different look at the website here, and Ancestry.com. I was disappointed to see that unless you pay to join Ancestry.com, you cannot see all of the stuff that I am referencing as I am documenting my research!
After weighing the options on how to resolve this issue, I have decided that I am going to create an Image Library, fully documented with source information, but not the web address of the Ancestry.com page I found the information. On items that are just in a database, with no images to reference, I will take a “snapshot” of the web page with the pertinent info.
I’m not completely sure of just how I am going to do this Image Library. Rather than trying to create a library for each individual, I think it might be easier to have different sections, such as: Census, Books, Marriage Records, Birth Records, Death Records, Grave Markers, People, Places, and Misc.
I was wanting to do something similar to this on the site, to include photos and such in a centralized location, but I wasn’t planning on working on it right away. For now, so that I can get everything up and loaded, I will just enter the images in their appropriate section. I am thinking I will create a simple page that will have thumbnails linking to the full sized images, without a lot of details about the images.
If you have any thoughts or ideas on this, please let me know!

What’s New Wednesday ~ Julia Ann Corel page complete!
Posted August 5th, 2009 by Paula | Comments OffI have just completed the page for Julia Ann Corel, daughter of Henry Highland Corel and Nancy Matney. The most captivating part of this page, in my opinion, is the detail I found on the company that Willis Myers served with during the Civil War. For those of you who are equally fascinated by the Civil War, I encourage you to read the narrative of Albert R. Greene, “What I saw of the Quantrill Raid” on Google Books starting on page 430. The passage is about 10 pages long, but very fascinating!
My next project will be to update Henry Highland’s page with the few details I have about daughters Margaret and Louisa. Then I will likely create another Corels by Chance page for the Parman family, as the Parman’s are related through Cosby Jane Corel’s line (Rachel Parman is the maternal grandmother of William Justice.) and Rebecca Elizabeth Corel’s line (Rebecca is the youngest daughter of Henry Highland, she married Giles Gilbert Parman, son of George Parman and Lydia Myers. Lydia is the sister of Willis Myers who married Julia Ann Corel.). Rachel Parman is an aunt of George Parman and great aunt of Giles Gilbert Parman.
After showing the Parman family, I will do the page for Rebecca Elizabeth Corel that will complete the children of Henry Highland Corel and have me ready to start working on the children of Mary Ester Corel and John Puckett.
