FamilySearch Ancestor Hints

 I enjoy receiving the ancestor hints from FamilySearch. Frequently, they are things that I already have or actually contributed on Find A Grave. Others are gems. Recently, I got a hint for a death certificate for John Rodman McClurken (1835 - 1914). I added it to my website and corrected his birth year. And FamilySearch is FREE!

Website Moved

Comcast stopped providing websites in November of 2015. The new location went live in February of 2016. It is essentially unchanged, just relocated. I actually started to move it in August but ran into issues with alternate hosting sites. I needed one that allowed lots of files, search engine spidering and FTP file transferring. X10hosting provided all of my needs. Actually, I am better off after the move because I was able to consolidate the Byethost portion into the same X10hosting site. I am considering converting from free to a paid site with X10hosting and am waiting for them to reoffer an in between product. Hopefully soon.

Indiana Marriages 1811 - 1959

FamilySearch.org recently updated the Indiana Marriage Index 1811 - 1959. Many of the descendants of Mathew McClurkin (1761 - 1847) were married in Indiana. I was able to locate 32 certificates and/or register images. These have been loaded onto my website on the Mathew McClurkin Descendant References page that is indexed on the Outline Descendant Report page.
