The details are in the details ….

Evidence has been collected, logged, and flagged for the key pieces to zero back to cite. Now the real work begins, entering the information with the proper citation of where the information originated. Working on all four projects in rotation. I need to finish the Hotchkiss, Lee, … project next year for the 200th anniversary of the family coming to Oakland County, Michigan.

Well, maybe not all the evidence has been collected. As I get into the various sources, I find they have quoted other sources without full citation (i.e. volume, page number). So, I go back to hathitrust.org to see if the quoted source can be provided and download it if it is there. This has gotten deep in reference of reference levels when getting back to the Tilden Family for the Hotchkiss, Lee, … project.

I have recently purchased my own copy of The Great Migration Begins, Immigration to New England, 1620-1633, which I am finding more and more pages to bookmark. I was able to get a copy of the Genealogy of Some Descendants of Edward Fuller of the Mayflower on Hathi Trust, but the scanning was poorly done and many pages are unreadable. So, on to the “Zon”! I expect a copy of the book by the end of the day tomorrow — I am hopeful that Amazon has a better page source for the book. If not, Mr. Bezos will be getting a return.

Now that winter is coming (we have had two minor snowfalls); I hope to stay on task due to rotten weather.
