Kay,
There are many ways one can identify an individual within a tree (or trees)
if working with pen and paper and co joining them together.
Thanks for delegating me the task of "sorting these lines out" !! (grin) but
as it happens I had already anticipated the very problem and put out a note
on at least two occasions suggesting that we : Subject/Heading our e-mail
correspondence with a Tree Title.
If you remember, I even suggested that for yours we use the Title:- "John
Catley of Leeds" which you were agreeable to?
I invited everybody to submit a Title name, or, include it on future
correspondence but nobody bothers to do so and thereby I feel certain that
in quite a few cases, people miss out on information.
Am quite happy to "co ordinate" things but I can not be expected to grapple
with each and every bit of information that comes in to CATLEY-L and post
notes back as reminders to others: "did you see so and so's e-mail re your
6th cousin".
Whilst your ancestors that you have listed were at that time in Leeds in the
County of Yorkshire, it is very likely that certain members moved around
quite a bit and thus I know to my own cost, that one should not "tune out"
by locality, but keep an open mind.

Hi all,
Recently some amazingly industrious soul sent me a complete family
tree for one of my husband's line. He must have spent years acquiring
all this information.. but what I thought was interesting and helpful, was
the fact that he has divided them all into numbered lines.. i.e. C-1
through
to C-7. Presumably they are all interconnected - he has about 7000
names
on the various lines.
He sent me C-2, which he correctly had worked out was the line I was
interested in. It occurs
to me that when we have all this blizzard of correspondence, we mention
names and dates and places, and usually, I look at the area mentioned, and
if it isn't Yorkshire, basically I just tune out.. perhaps we all do this?
Mainly
because I haven't made any progress past Yorkshire..and then Canada.
Would it be helpful if we (hopefully delegated Tim to) sort our lines in
this
way - ??? thoughts????? Then maybe we could head our various e-mails
with the line we are quoting.. ?
(tim asks why we have all gone quiet..!
lots of information to digest I suspect)
kay
