This blog mentioned in the summer 2008 newsletter
Well I was surprised to read this blog mentioned in the Lothropp Family Foundation summer 2008 newsletter. This blog is my fourth and unfinished attempt at composing an extensive Lathrop genealogy. My fifth attempt (and unfinished) attempt is located here:
You will not find any more updates to this blog. Anything that I do is located at the blog mentioned above. As you can see below, my previous post to this blog was made in February 2006. I have been posting genealogies on the internet since 1995 and I started doing genealogies in 1989. I'm still disorganized.
In the past I made a quick survey of the number of deceased relatives and living relatives. I found around 10,00 deceased and 10,000 living. If someone where to compose a complete genealogy for one person in a second, 10,000 genealogies could be completed in 2 hours 45 minutes. A genealogy a minute would complete the task in over 166 hours. A genealogy an hour would complete the task in over 416 days.
Once you delve into genealogy you realize the enormity of the task, a single genealogy can take hours, days, months, years and in some cases decades to complete. The internet helps a great deal but many hands is what is needed to complete this labor of love.
