many persons, places, sources, etc. are in your database (hint:\u00a0 the Help button is your friend!).<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Tell us which GMP you use, and how many persons, places, sources, etc. are

years.\u00a0 The addition of individuals, families, and surnames are probably most directly related to this area of my research.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, about half of the surnames on this list are very distant collateral lines that I got swept into during my \u201cname collecting\u201d phase early on.\u00a0 Hopefully in another few years, once I\u2019ve continued with researching more of my not-so-distant collateral families along with my main line families, those names will fall lower on the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week\u2019s Saturday Night
