What I have learned.....
I have learned that when I started my family history I did not know what I was doing. I have started over. I started a new database in my Legacy software and I am entering all the information - birth and death certificates, census information, and family papers. I am citing each piece of information properly and I will make a timeline for each person to figure out where my data holes are. I have already done this with my Great Grandfather Theodor Miottel -
