Where was I between 2013 and 2016?

 

        Every once in a while I will click on Ancestry just because it’s there.  For the most part I don’t know if the information is accurate or not.  My passion isn’t there to remember if Uncle Harold was born in one place or another.  I mean, I think I could narrow it down to state or region that I could figure out the inaccuracy such as knowing the birth took place in Utah although I don’t know exactly where in Utah, I think it is safe to rule out Texas or Florida should they come up.

        Today when I went into Ancestry I noticed that there were hints for my dad.  Okay, I can do that.  I can break it down more easily than any of his uncles or cousins.  I clicked on the census and grave information.  Both were correct and I added to others as well.  And then I found my own name.  I clicked on my name – which came up as my maiden name.  Eleven hints.  Wow. 

Okay, nine of them were high school photos of someone who lives in El Paso – or did at the time when she was in school.  Also the photos are someone with my married name.  Ignored all of the photos. Then I clicked on one that said public records.  The addresses of the top three are correct but only one of the dates is accurate.  We have lived at our current Myrtle Creek address from 2016 to now.  But I don’t understand the specified years – especially since they overlap. 

         Do they really believe that I house hopped during those years?  Like one was a summer home and the other a winter? Not that the zip code made a huge difference that I would have really used one as a summer home and the other for alternating season. They are, after all, less than ten miles apart. I grew up in the house in Midvale (maiden name) and was married at the other (though I guess I did technically make the purchase in my maiden name) 

I’ve never even visited North Dakota, let alone lived there. Interesting that there is only one year listed at that.  Except for Myrtle Creek – the beginning and ending dates are inaccurate – for me personally.  The homes/addresses still exist.  Just not at those times.  I ignored the hint but took a picture and made the corrections – sort of.  I put the corrected screenshot into my gallery in the event I do pass and someone else is trying to find me they will know the public records are not 100% accurate.  But are they ever?  Many of my ancestor names aren’t 100% to information provided.  There a lot of “could be”s.  As of now no one would have access to my photos because I am still living.

Anyway, I just found it interesting and so decided to share.
