Well, I'm not sure when he started, but the booklet he gave everyone was assembled in 1981. So yeah, that's about the time you're talking. I can only imagine how much work went into that! It's hard enough searching for information online sometimes. Oh, I've already been working on genealogy for over a decade. :) I'll probably be working on it my entire life in one way or another. But I hope this winter to finally put some of my photos and research together in scrapbook form.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-59711316072048181302016-09-06T15:52:01.351-05:002016-09-06T15:52:01.351-05:00Got it! :)Got it! :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-90037294206563137462016-09-06T07:18:41.952-05:002016-09-06T07:18:41.952-05:00Good luck with the research!

Hopefully your project comes along quicker that that.

I don't have a lot of experience with the UK records, but I'll be getting there eventually. I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm at with the U.S. research. The next step will be ship records and exploring more about where they started in Europe. I have some names, dates, and towns in the old countries, but I'd like to get to know those areas better. <br /><br />Oh, from the UK to Canada to the U.S. That's got to be interesting to investigate. I'm having enough issues looking into one branch where it seemed people were moving to different U.S. states every few years. <br /><br />Oh, that's cool about the general. I wonder if I'd know him by name? If it's not too personal, who was he? And which war was he in? I ran across a great Civil War web site if you're interested in that.<br /><br />Oh! You've got to get on FamilySearch! It's all free. I just signed up for an account on there tonight and I'm really glad I did. Now I can access even more information, like family trees other people have put together. I just went back to the 1700s with a family tree tonight! <br /><br />That's a nice idea to have the trees printed for people. I'm still trying to decide which layout to go with for my trees. There are a lot of good options out there. Yeah, it's a process, alright. I've been working at this at least a decade and that's picking up where other family members left off. I'm calling this a lifelong project. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-86360078034055060962016-09-05T02:45:32.186-05:002016-09-05T02:45:32.186-05:00Justine,

She moved from the UK to Canada and then to the US. It helps to have a general in the family that has a huge collection of articles and a book about him. I haven't tried Familysearch.org. The plan was to map and then have the trees printed for family members. Its been a 4 year process.

My only complaint would be the extreme heat. That's probably why you're seeing so many night photos. For a while there, it was the only comfortable time to be out! Thanks, that web shot felt like a lucky one. I try to photograph spider webs every time I see one, but they often come out blurry. The water helped it show up. And it was fun to get a pic of the spider who made it at the same time.<br /><br />A real time sucking vortex, indeed! Familysearch.org too. Have you used that one? And did you sign up for an Ancestry account or are you using it at the library? They were probably getting used to seeing me at the local library, since I went so many evenings in a row.<br /><br />Haha! Oh yeah, Smith and Jones have got to be tedious names to sift through. It helps a lot to have a birth date when searching common names. Right now I'm looking up a couple with the first names of John and Mary, and it's like who wasn't named John or Mary? Ugh. And oh yeah, I've got a whole lot of Fredericks and Augusts going on in the German branches of my tree! Again, birth dates are crucial.

Making sure to link the correct Smith of Jones from 1754 also a challenge. My favorite though is generations of sons with the same first name.
