Man, I should know better than to get started on this stuff.

I have such a backlog of genealogical emails and documents to work through that my desktop, my email application, and even my house looks like that of the proverbial Mad Scientist. I try every day to address at least one thing, be it an email, a GEDCOM someone sent me, a new snail mail letter, or something I found and copied from the internet and then stuck in my "to do" box. The problem with this daily approach is that once I start, I can't stop!

This week I have started a new listserve for the G1 Henderson family. G1 is a designation given to Hendersons who are known to be from the Onslow and Chesapeake groups. We were all awkwardly sharing bits and pieces of information and misinformation and so I decided a listserve would be much more efficient. But setting it up has come with the attendant consumption of time on the front end. Hopefully it will pretty much run itself once everyone is onboard and chatting.

I'm also continuing to puzzle out the whole Corder-Baker relationship. We know the Corders and Bakers are related from their DNA testing, but how? Since there was obviously a non-paternal event in one of the families, the speculation needs to be done privately, and more testing would help. I think I may be on to something since the Wayne County KY Corder's DNA test came in and matched our Elijah Corder line, however. As they say, that changes everything. More on that later as new developments come in.
