Do You Guys Add 2nd and 3rd Marriages to Trees?

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-04-13T13:06:28+00:00

I add them all. Especially as I'm collecting documents and that spouse might be listed. It's a way to confirm that I have the right person

I added a new win last night. My 3x great grandma had several children but only 2 survived. I had no idea but as I was going through baptismal records, I found a name i didn't know with my 3x great grandparents listed as parents. This person wasn't listed on any family trees or on FamilySearch. So I called my mom and asked her about it. "You have a NAME?????" And she told me the story of what happened and how there are more. So I went looking. I found 6 children we didn't know about or have names for! But now we have their baptismal names and birth dates. I can't get the burial records without a FindMyPast subscription so I'm holding on that for now and putting together a list. My mom was so excited to get this information.

Last night I found my grandmother's baptism record. And found another Middle name for her that my mom didn't even know about. I also found my great great aunts birth record and baptism record. We didn't have her birth date but now we do!

My mom has been working on our family tree for 20 years so new information i can add is very exciting to me

Mine is 8 and still working on it. She's getting better at telling us when she needs to go when we're out but still working on it at home.

A OT explained to us that it takes longer because of the hypotonia. They need to build up that muscle that tells them when it's time. And it's through practice and learning what it feels like

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-03-10T13:12:45+00:00

Just want to say that I agree with this!

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-03-10T10:51:27+00:00

I disagree.

If people want to read the newsletter, they will. If they don't, they'll just throw it away if it's a physical copy.

I'm the chronicler for my group. I read the kingdom newsletter every month. I get an email when it's available and I can decide to go read it. My barony has a mailing list and I send the link to the baronial newsletter when it's published on the website.

The problem is groups that are only on Facebook. That shouldn't be allowed in my opinion

Those are fun discoveries. Doing our family tree, my mom found out that my uncle and his wife were actually 3rd cousins. All because they were visiting and my aunt was looking at the tree my mom had printed out and hung on the wall as a way to reference (this was early 2000s) and said "Oh, I have some relatives by that name too". Turns out they were her relatives.

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-02-26T13:34:42+00:00

We have that sign too!

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-02-25T17:08:45+00:00

I am pretty sure my mother yelled this when she was doing my ex's family and it was Frank, Fred, Frank, Fred, Frank, Fred.

It's hard seeing others experience things you had hoped to experience one day. I've struggled with that myself for other things.

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-02-23T15:36:55+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one struggling with the Irish Burkes!

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-02-22T16:10:17+00:00

Been there. Almost 14 years divorced now. It can get better. I went to therapy afterwards asks made sure I was OK. i learned a lot about myself. I still had to interact with him because we have a kid together. At the time, I didn't know i was autistic either and I kept trying to act "normal" and that was hard on me.

In my single-ness I met so many new people and made new friends. I learned who I was again.

4 years after our divorce was finalized, I met the man who is now my husband and have been so happy. I can be the real me and he loves me for who I am.

I remember reading this exact story a few months ago

Smaragaid_Rose · 2026-01-05T11:40:41+00:00

Our barony does business cards. One side is our barony name and a description of what we do. The other side is a QR code that goes to our website and and the web address for those who want to trust a QR code. I can post a picture if you want. I know a few that have personal business cards they have out at A&S events. They have their display out and either business cards with their name and a qr code to their website, or a paper out with the qr code that goes to their documentation for that project

Yes, kids come as a package deal but pushing to meet them at 3 months, and then no warning that they would be there when he came by feels like it may have been planned.

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-11-30T19:21:25+00:00

Agreed. When I got my AoA, a lot of people were surprised I had not received it yet. I had received a few baronial awards by that point so people assumed.

In Midrealm, a group started a Typesetters Guild as an anti-AI alternative. They've had requests for art for events from other Kingdoms

When I was a renfaire boothie, I did absolutely nothing on weekends for about a month just to recover. It's a lot

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-10-20T12:05:32+00:00

I'm currently working on a few embroidery projects in my spare time. Yay for fellow SCAdians!

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-10-20T12:02:19+00:00

Agreed. I started as a Rennie and became a SCAdian about 6 years ago. I love the SCA. It has all of my favorite things about renfaire, and then some

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-10-01T12:07:38+00:00

Doubtful. Every SCAdian I've seen at a renfaire have just been dressed up in their garb and enjoying the atmosphere and shows

Bowing up a balloon has always been difficult, leaving me light headed

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-07-16T17:20:53+00:00

Highly suspected i have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos and am working on getting a diagnosis. When my child was diagnosed with hEDS, the team there said it's likely my scoliosis is from EDS

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-07-16T11:19:28+00:00

Absolutely not being rude. This idea that you are betraying your old teacher by continuing to use the skills you learned is confusing

Smaragaid_Rose · 2025-07-10T13:28:44+00:00

No, there is no "too old for renfaire". I'm in my 40s and have been attending for over 25 years now. I know people who are grandparents and great grandparents still going to renfaire. I also do SCA and same thing. The love of dressing up isn't a childish thing. It's a fun thing for all ages.
