Gedcom update-3/26/2013
It's been almost 4 months since my last gedcom update. I didn't take the time to compute how many documents or individuals were added but I can honestly say, it was not a small amount. I plan on making gedcom updates monthly to reflect my work.
The main reason it's taking more time is I'm also reconciling my records with the new FamilySearch FamilyTree as well as combining the many duplicate records that are out there…and there are many. Some individuals had more than 6 records! It takes a lot of work combining these records as well as adding all my sources as well.
Why do all this work? I spend alot of my time working on this project. It's one of my life goals (besides being the best husband and father that I can be!) to have as complete a family history as possible, not just for myself but for later generations! I try to be as thorough as I can. Heck, I'm still learning and fixing mistakes I've made myself in the past 20 years. Family history is a continual learning curve. Take that and add all the FamilySearch submissions and you have a handful!
By taking the time now, adding my sources and reasons why I believe my information is the most correct should ensure less mistakes in the future.
How can you help? Be patient as I work. Pray for me. Ask questions! Send more information my way including photos of significant events.

QuoteSort of like Where's Waldo but with a Doddema twist. Looking for a certain Doddema….list it here. Hopefully, people will write in and share what they know.
To kick it off, here's the lucky ones we're looking for.
Where's Jared and Jillian Doddema?
From doing Google search, it appears that in 1999 Jared was a sophomore at Iowa State University (ISU) studying horticulture. In 1997, Jillian Doddema finished 6th in the 800 meter run for Central Missouri.
So, let's help find these missing relatives!
Jared, Jillian, Janelle and Janene Doddema are the children of Dale Doddema and his wife Jane, living at Cedar falls, IA (?).
Dale is a son of Piet ('Peter') Doddema, born 12 April 1909 in Dike, Grundy, IA and his wife Mary C. Holm, born 2 September 1913 in Dike, Grundy, IA. Piet, who was a farmer, died 14 September 1971 in Dike, Grundy, IA and Mary died on 19 May 1988 in Cedar Falls, IA
