Subject: [PaCambri] does a novice add their name to Surname Registers?


I'm very new and not a perfectionist to the genealogy of our family
tree, especially considering I'm a mom of two teenagers, housewife of
our family of four, and of course, down in Texas, far far away from
the county courthouse locations in PA . One line of our my family of
ancestors, is from the Pennsylvania area, being Pittsburgh, and on it
extends on back to Cambria.

Thus, I wondered what the pros and cons would be, to register a few of
my surnames on a register. I see that is an opportunity and I'm not
sure if I should step out of the comfort zone of novice and register
the surnames I am pursuing in our family tree. Or if people that
register, are considered to be pro genealogy folks, and perfectionists
too.

I guess what I'm getting at, is pretty basic. I have to rely on
resources via the internet, which I find to be excellent by the way,
and I'm not obtaining the verification paperwork on who what and where,
but instead just very new and establishing a base for the family tree,
Go ahead, and frown at me - it's OK. I know, a true genealogist will
get the papers - for for now, I'm pretty simple and basic - with baby
steps. Hey I'm retracing my steps and documenting my sources, so be
patient with me. :-)

Would it be bad to register my surnames?

Would people consider me a perfectionist and one who has all the proper
papers?

Your thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated.

Dinee :-)
