Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

 This is one of my favorite wills ever.  The second paragraph starts -
"First I direct that my Pony and horse Cappy are not to be sold.  But are to be bailed to some person to them a tood home, and when they have become burdensome then my heirs are to see that they are dispatched in a humane way."

 Now there is an ancestor, even if not directly related, that I can relate to.  :-)
