The Pickering Project
While we are not 100% certain of the connection between our "Della Pickering" who married our "Frank Gaume" in 1867 in Wisconsin and who died in June of 1868 with the "Cordilla Pickering" listed as marrying a "Frank Guam" and dying at a young age in Michigan, I would be remiss in not recording what I have been able to learn of the Pickering family who first appears in Salem, Massachusetts, is later found in Central Massachusetts, and is then traced down into Pennsylvania and the old Northwest. I could very well be "barking up the wrong tree", but I believe that unless you follow all possible leads and search for the truth as far as you can possibly go, even if means creeping down blind alleys and stepping through mine-fields of genealogical controversy, you never will find the actual truth.
Royals 2012
This is another Gathering Leaves sub-project and there are two reasons as to why it is called "Royals 2012". First of all it is a work in progress and secondly the foundation of the data shown here comes from a gedcom file produced nearly twenty years ago. The gedcom file entitled ROYALS.GED was compiled by Denis Reid and carries a creation date of 20 NOV 1992. The file has made quite a number of rounds on the internet since it was first published on 25 December 1992 and as hence the file sometimes goes by the name ROYALS92.
