Still searching, after all these years

Hello, All! I just wanted to check in and let you know that I am still alive and still researching...just not so good at posting.... I have used this time of pandemic induced "Social Distancing" (which is mostly like all my other days), to really dive into my McGonigles & Variants surname study, I have been working my way, state by state, trudging along, hoping towards country-by-country eventually. I've added about 4000 new names in just the last few weeks. I have indeed been a busy bee. I hope to keep at it, and eventually get back to posting here, and to really start posting on the McGonigles blog. A surname study is alot to contend with, thats for sure. As I grow the numbers, I realize I need to develop better systems for helping to identify lines, etc.... ways to make sorting things easier at a glance. Alas, I have not yet found the system that works for me. I welcome any suggestions! For now, I will keep busy, and keep isolated (as I am immunocompromised, so at greater risk to infection), while wishing you safety, happiness, and sanity.... while i spend way too much time having conversations with myself and my cats, while we leave the husband to work in peace from home. :D
