On This Day - Feb 29th!

On This Day...

I am publishing a 2nd On This Day post today for February 29th, since the year in which I am generating and posting these is not a leap year.  I need to try to remember to repost that entry in the next leap year so it gets on the proper date.



1860 - Death: Charlotte Batman, Crawford County, Indiana
1916 - Birth: Arnold Peter Keppers, Minnesota
1920 - Arrival: Clarence Leroy Whitman, Southampton, England
2008 - Death: Ursula Elizabeth Keppers, Albany, Stearns, Minnesota

As you might expect, it's a rather short list.

 1818 - Alternate locations for the same individual.   You can see from my notes that my database could use some cleanup as well.  Looking at place names shows a variety of usage, even when the exact place name is known.  One should try to be consistent in format, such as City, County, State, Country and fill in all fields.  Some software makes this cleanup easier than others, I have found that the MyHeritage Family Tree Builder has a good facility for fixing and arranging consistency in place names.
