A Quest for a Name and Other Projects
3 years ago
Wanting to get the talk about Mayfield off my main page, so figured I post a journal about stuff I've been working on.
You can read the longer Twitter version over here
Essentially: I am trying to do some family research to locate a relative's name. One of my ancestors claimed his great grandmother had been full blooded Shawnee. But there are no records of her name.
AND THIS BOTHERS ME.
I had a lot of folks mention her existence to me growing up, but the fact that no one knew WHO she was never sat right. If we're going to talk about her, lets know her name, right?
Thanks to research done by my Great Aunt, we were able to narrow it down to 3 candidates. One named, and 2 that we couldn't find any further info on at all.
I kinda hit a road block on my side, as all sources I had for new info came up with nothing. I've put out feelers to a few groups on Facebook that might can help, but not heard anything back yet.
This isn't an obsession, but it is something I would one day like to accomplish. If my relative wasn't making the ancestry up, then she deserves to have her name remembered.
Anyways, that's one thing.
The other has been converting my personal archive of VHS/DVD/Mini-DVs of Old School Wrestling's shows from 2001-2010 to digital format.
You can see how THAT's going over on this Youtube playlist!. Got a nice selection up so far, and will be uploading more as they are finished. Some take a bit more conversion process, but it is worth it I think.
