I BELIEVE THIS IS MY TREE.

I HAVE BEEN BUSY. I HAVE A TREE, I WORK ON IN MY HERITAGE. I DON'T COME TO THIS ONE OFTEN.
MY GRANDMOTHERS LAST NAME WAS MADDOCK. I HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THE SPELLING OF THEIR NAMES WHEN THEY CAME TO AMERICA. SO, I HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO SPELL THE NAMES DIFFERENTLY. I ALSO FOUND OUT THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES WITH THE SAME NAMES, WHO ARE NOT RELATED. IF I RUN ACROSS SOMEONE WITH THE SAME LAST NAME I ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE THE RELATIONSHIP IN FAMIL SEARCH. THAT WAY I KNOW FOR SURE WE ARE RELATED. I HAVE A DNA TEST I DID ON MY HERITAGE. I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON MY TREE THERE. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE I STARTED MY TREE IN 2016, THAT IN A LOT OF THE MATCHES THEY HAVE PEOPLE DO MAKES A WHOLE NEW LINE AND I ENDED UP WITH SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE 4 X OVER.
ALL OF MY ORIGINAL FAMILY MEMBERS ARE GONE. MY FATHER DIED ON THANKSGIVING IN 1985. MY MOTHER DIED ON MOTHER'S DAY IN 2000. MY BROTHER DIED IN 2005 AND MY SISTER IN 2008. I WILL TRY TO COME HERE MORE OFTEN. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE DIFFERENT FAMILY TREES BECOME MASTER TREES, SO IF SOMEONE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO ME IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL.
THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR FAMILIES. JOY
