Another reason to not delete a detached branch is that you might find that it connects to your tree a few generations earlier and you would have to do all that work filling it back in. But I always leave a web link (on Ancestry) where it was attached so I can easily find it again.

I have doing genealogy off and on for the past 50 years. Since I started watching genealogy tv (since may 2024), I have upped my game in genealogy. The most important tips that I have learned and implemented is the research notes and easy breezy source citation.

Wonderful!

I have a number of ancestors who lived in North Carolina for a generation or so on their way to other places. Families such as the Masters, Irwins, Phifers, Skinners, and the Berrymans. My Masters ancestor came to North Carolina from Western Maryland with the Moravians to establish the first English Moravian settlement called Hope in Wachovia present-day Winston-Salem. He left the group to fight in the Revolutionary War.

counties; wake, Johnston, Sampson, Gilford, and yes I have been overwhelmed, cause I did different branches and so on. you are so right, one ancester at a time!! and stay organized.

Agreed

Almost every branch of my convoluted tree came to Kentucky, then to points north and west, from Tennessee via North Carolina or Virginia. Most from Caswell or Yadkin County, NC. Phelps, Randolph, Dye, Butt, Bastin, Falconberry, Black, Hixson/Hickson/Hixon, Durham, Carman, Buis, Richardson, King, Hogue, Perkins, Hatter, Mullican, Rayborn, Wheeler, Anderson, Elliott, Johnson, Newell, Quinton, Blackstone, Patton, Adams, Cook, and Routsaw. Many of these early Kentucky settlers intermarried and descendants still live near each other. So, my mother's parents were double sixth cousins. Nearly everyone in our part of Casey County is related to each other, at least one way, if not more!

If you were told that an ancestor’s land was lost due to past taxes, would you search land records or delinquent tax records or both?

Guilford County and of course they were Quakers😁😁

So were mine! Most of my Quakers started in Guilford County and ended up in Randolph County...some because Randolph was born from Guilford. Love Quaker Records!

@NCAncestry was the weirdest thing I had sound for videos above and below. I ended up closing out everything and trying again. Then it finally worked. Sorry for the scare 😱
