There's a whole mess of kin
I have a smilar approach as to who I write about. Some lines are much better documented.
Do you record on wikitree that you have written a post? I have done so sometimes using See also under the Sources heading.
I always mean to do that, but my process is out of order (research, make a profile, THEN write the post) and I always forget to go back.
Yes - I usually don’t remember to add either. I do try to add my research to the wikitree profile.
Just came back to your post again 😉 Wondered if you had come across Sun charts? MyHeritage has a very nice tool for charting descendants. I reviewed it some years ago at https://anneyoungau.wordpress.com/2016/06/17/sun-charts/
Here is an example https://anneyoungau.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/25c36-dec2ball2bgens2bscreenshot.jpg which shows 12 generations in 1 chart.
I printed it off successfully at the local stationary store in a single very large sheet.
Thank you for this - I went in to look at my own (and my son's) statistics and I have some catching up to do!
Once again, @Mightier Acorns sorts through not just his own family but also the process and the why of written family history projects on Substack.
This "Daunting Family Fractals" post is fascinating and a terrific example of genealogy on Substack. Impressive, my friend!
