My Family Tree

New FamilySearch Feature—My Source Box May 25, 2012  By  Steve   69 Comments FamilySearch now provides a new feature called My Source Box. This Source Box serves as a place to capture a record source and preserve it. Your source box contains the sources that you want to attach to your ancestors. It lets you reuse sources instead of retyping a source each time you need to use it. If you have access to the Family Tree, you can find a record, add it to the source box, and then attach it to an ancestor on the Tree immediately or at a later date.

Family Update: In 2008, when I began my quest to find my family heritage. This research led to finding cousin MC Charles Goolsby of Grand Rapids, MI. Thanks Aunt Nan! Mr.Goolsby did quite a bit of researching on his own and through oral history and paperwork he found out that we inherited the Goolsby name through the marriage of Sarah Pye & James Goolsby. Through the use of family tree, oral history and well looks, lol. We have established that their son William Goolsby had several children with a former slave named Tyre / Tye.
