Hi Theresa,
I make the postings when they contain familiar county names as well as
my own surname EYRE since many times there are family or land connections
that help us pick up a stale trail.
Often they will show a connection we weren't aware of. For instance, I
think it was earlier this year that Anne posted John PRICE's will. My direct
ancestor was mentioned in John's will altho not as an heir. But it did show
the family connection. That will gave me a new lead on where to start
looking again for my ancestor. That is why I try to always capitalize the
surnames contained in any document I post, so it is easier to scan thru a
posted document that probably is of no interest to you but MIGHT have a
surname of value to you.
Usually, but not always, what I post are the abstracts. If you think
the posts of the originals are long and difficult to read, try reading and
typing up FROM the originals!!! The handwriting and spelling is often ...
interesting? Whew!
