I am a descendent of this line also. I found your blog by running a search on the same “Dewey number” which I found in the notes for my line in One World Tree.

My paternal grandmother was leola lonsford Herring. Her father I think was William Penn Herring. Her mothers maiden name was George Anne Tibbs.
Any connections?

I found much of interest for my Sherwood One-Name Study which you can see on my website. For those researching their line in England, the collection of George F T Sherwood at the SoG Library in London is a must. It has been filmed by the LDS Church.

Comment on Some thoughts about ancestry.com; a review of sorts by webbpat

Hi Mr. Shoup,

Thank you so much for your comment. It could be my imagination, but I believe
there is an opportunity to improve the relevance of search results. When
searching for possibly relevant documents to link to individuals in my public
tree, it doesn’t seem that birth/death info or residence that has been
entered
into the public tree is being accounted for in the search.

For example, when I go to my tree entry for Robert Seaman (1766-1845):
http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=4792867&pid=-1544439601&pg=2

then click on “Search Historical Records”; the several of the top results are
clearly for Robert Seamans that were not living when my Robert lived.

Comment on Some genealogical information you may possibly have overlooked in US census returns by Jay Fichialos

The 1910 U.S. Census, column 30. “Whether a survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy”. If it’s marked (sometimes with US or CS), check the civil war records for your ancestor.

Webbpat-

I happened across your blog as I would searching for Ancestry.com-related stuff…

I am a relatively new employee to Ancestry (just under 3 months) and have been actively looking people commenting on their use of Ancestry.com.

Thanks for your input on Ancestry’s trees and search capabilities. Just know that I have forwarded your blog posts (and the related comments from others) to the appropriate people on my team for consideration.

regards
