Wedding Wednesday - Cassy Bowsher & Stephen White
Even though they are no blood relation to me, I want to post this marriage. Cassy (Catherine) Bowsher was one of my step-grandmother's older sisters. Her other sister, Daisy, married Stephen's brother Antoine.
Cassy, unfortunately was indexed as Cory in the Michigan Marriage records available on FamilySearch.org. So it took a few tries to find the record. But here it is. They were married October 5, 1903 and remain married 57 years until Stephen's death in December of 1960.

Holy Stats!
For years I have been keeping track of my database statistics, mostly how many people in the database, sources, to do list items and multimedia. I sat down to record those items yesterday - the first of the month - and discovered the last time I did it was June 12th. The funny thing is that I actually added to the database in that time frame. I added 15 people, 1 source, 1 to do list item, and 7 images. Yes, I have backed up my database during that time frame many times. I try to remember to back up any time I may have changed something, just in case. Worst case scenario is I only have to copy the backups in case of any kind of failure.

Herbert Percival - The Story Continues And Monday Moanin'
Make sure you catch this week's Thriller Thursday as it brings you up to date with what I know about my dad's great grand uncle, Herbert Davidson Percival. He has been the family's mystery man for generations after he disappeared from California circa 1894. Not that I've stopped looking for him, since I don't have any sort of death record for him ...
This past weekend was a busy one here. We had great weather, cooling into the low 70's during the day which made working on the backyard landscaping much easier. Not that I did much, except help layout the stones in one area near the spa, planted some flowers and situated my knockout rose bush tree. It just made spa time last night more appreciated.
I finish up with physical therapy this week and plan on getting going on some of the 1500 census that I found this spring.
And, as always on the first of the month, I back up my databases, images, etc. Busy day today!
