B1,0749 James Oliver Leet (1850-1918)

As mentioned, I am trimming the primary Gov Leete Tree, removing branches and estabishing each one as a new tree, hopefully with editors from that branch of the tree.  In this case, Bob Leet is the editor and the tree name is B1,0749 James Leet Desc on Ancestry.com.  If you want access, send an email to me at leeteleetlink@gmail.com.

This new tree's root person, James O Leet, was a descendant of Andrew Leet, who migrated to Guysborough, NS, Canada after the Rev War.  If I haven't written about him on the website, I will need to do so.

James immigrated to the US from Harcourt, NB, Canada around the turn of the century and settled in Millinocket,Penobscot,ME,USA.  There have been numerous descendants around Millinocket.  They represent the majority of the Maine population of Leete/Leets.

Bob, if you have anything to add on your family, you can use the comment section or send me something to add to this entry.

As usual, I need to mention that this tree is a work in progress.

  • There are many duplicate entries for facts like "birth."  This makes any reports ugly, because there is so many redundant facts.  Time lines really look bad. 
  • The place names need to be standardized so that, when you search by place name, you'll get all the people who are associated with that place, and not just the ones with a particular version of the place name.  
  • There are also some conflicting dates and names that need to be fixed.  
  • Finally, the images names need to be standardized, so you can quickly know who belongs to the image.  Where possible cameos need to be attached to the header of each record, so you have a face with a name.  (Bob has done a great job adding photos to the tree.)
