I ended up with a similar #SurnameStudy for one of the names in my #FamilyTree: Freligh (Froelich/Freleigh/Fraleigh/etc).
I began with an existing compiled printed #genealogy, but I've found a lot more than what's there, over the years. I've even discovered an error in the printed genealogy.

I also created a #timeline to organize all the various surname matches I found which were the same first name as my ancestors. (There were a lot of John, Henry, William, & George Frelighs in early 1800s America, apparently.)
I highly recommend making #timelines when researching genealogy. It was by doing so that I caught the error in the original document. It also explained WHY my ancestors made various life decisions (such as moving to different cities & changing jobs), when I put their life events right next to historical events.

My journey into #genealogy was inspired by my late mother Betty and her unusual maiden surname (Mum is pictured here in 1961 with her parents, Fred and Louisa #Atcherley).
I started in 2007, when I found Mum's grandparents in the 1901 #census before pushing further back into the 1800s.
Intrigued by the various Atcherleys I found I started researching them all in an attempt to work out which ones were 'mine'. This led to a #OneNameStudy (or #SurnameStudy) - hence my handle 'AtcherleyONS'.
Many years ago, I chanced upon a printed Genealogy of the Freligh family, written by Genealogist Theodore “Ted” Overbagh.
At the time, I had no evidence that my #Freligh lines met up with the ones in his Genealogy, so I contacted the author to see if he had any further information. He then sent me his “Addendum” to that document. From the second document, I was able to connect my Freligh lines to his substantial compiled #Genealogy.
[This article is intended to be a resource for Genealogists researching the Freligh surname and associated surnames, such as Fraleigh and Froelich. Additional resources for researching this surname and the Palatine Emigrants (aka “Pennsylvania Dutch”) are listed at the end of this article.]

My latest blog post is on the new tools from Family tree DNA for estimating the MRCA of Y-DNA matches.

It's taken me far too long to get around to doing this, but I've finally completed a #OnePlaceStudy registration form on the @SocOnePlaceStudies website for my #HouseHistory of Marton Hall in the #Shropshire parish of #Myddle! There's so much more for me to discover about this house and occupants, in a project which has developed from my Atcherley #OneNameStudy / #SurnameStudy.
