I have been hard at work on my genealogy in the past few days. I have added many new items of information to my genealogy software, The Master Genealogist, and then I just finished uploading those changes to my website which I created with the Second Site software from John Cardinal. The Second Site software is one of the most useful companion products for the Master Genealogist and one of the main reasons I keep coming back to this set of software. No matter how concerned I am about the FoxPro platform of the Master Genealogist program, I simply cannot find any software that compares to the control and layout abilities of the Second Site software for presenting my genealogy information!

I have added many tombstone photos and other information from FindaGrave Memorial Pages including the following:

Andrew Keck
Katherine Shoffner Keck
Walter Edward Keck
William Wiley Keck
Caleb Percy Mecham
Ida Clementine Keck Mecham
Lucinda Ogden Keck
Esau Keck
Samuel Claude Stout
Margaret Stout
Chess Stout
Lutishie Hutchens
James M Stout
Tennessee Demanda Carter Stout Hunt
JW Carter
Lucinda Carter Ballard
Nancy Carter
George W Carter
Benjamin Hasty Carter
Lucinda Caroline Young Carter

I have also added many marriage records form both Ancestry and Family Search records as well as a few from the Washington County Archives Marriage License images:
George W Carter and Martha E Gabbard
Charlie Morgan Carpenter and Golda Reynolds
William H Passmore and Alice Barnes Chism
JH Chism and Alice Barnes

I also added some photos and information to the place information for the following:
White House Cemetery
McCord Cemetery

I also added the Confederate Pension Record information for Benjamin Hasty Carter.
I also added the SSDI information for Thurman J Shorty Parsons.

Finally I have added a few census records:
John J Carter Family 1910
Lucy Carter Family 1900
Benjamin Hasty Carter Family 1870
Benjamin Hasty Carter Family 1880
