I was always told Nena's name was Lillian, but I knew her as "big momma." Their daughter Mary Elizabeth Lusby was my Grandmother. My Mom mentioned moonshine so your records just confirmed it. dragonflydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066961126558621199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676976466758846813.post-3523470401585978242015-04-14T10:05:00.140-07:002015-04-14T10:05:00.140-07:00Wow, that is some commute!Wow, that is some commute!Anna Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900231457574329121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676976466758846813.post-74747063088723235492015-02-08T12:21:07.345-08:002015-02-08T12:21:07.345-08:00That's pretty much what I'm doing.

Deciding which paper and digital filing systems will be easy enough for me to follow through on, rather than downloading a record with a name like 455681112_1557899932 and never looking at it. But I'm down to one box of documents, so I am making progress! Remember, this Do Over can be used to help us reach our individual genealogy goals. We can set our own timer.

I'm taking the 13 weeks as a learning experience. I'm blogging my way through it and I'm not touching any genealogy until it's done.<br /><br />I've not touched my personal ancestry for about a year, so 13 weeks more of waiting isn't going to make much difference!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404559829478023570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676976466758846813.post-72504154522736457302015-01-07T22:21:55.473-08:002015-01-07T22:21:55.473-08:00That's okay Linda.

My husband's family are from NE Scotland (Sutherland) and his aunt kept referring to a guy called Bertie Boa who was related by marriage to her family. I asked how the name was spelled as quite unusual and not typically Scottish. She said Boa and that it was originally Norse origin. Hearsay though...never checked this out. Was browsing internet on car journey. Track o radio by Alfie Boe, made us curious about name and found your post.
