There are many reasons to go back and take another look at research you last worked on years ago. An email from a relative and an overseas visit by a friend caused me to go back and review a potential parentage in Maryland in the mid-18th century and a “missing family” from early 19th century Germany. New indexes and finding aids come online constantly. Our research skills get better or the “away time” from the problem gives us a new perspective. What family have you not looked at in years that may be worthy of a second look?
