Why Genealogy with an Internet connection can be so…

Productive: Had a problem understanding how a life estate worked. Sent an email to Advanced-Research-L@rootsweb.com and within 24 hours had my answer and a lot of good future research advice from people who know what they are doing.

Cemeteries…

Okay it’s about 24 degrees outside, so none of us want to be trampling through cemeteries today, but I have been working on my blog all afternoon and have moved several cemeteries to the blog today. And have done a little advertising around the blogosphere.

Tonight I have found a lot more marriage records and brought my source total to 2950. Just 50 shy of my goal of 3000. With all the new stuff for genealogist coming online each day, it may be hard to believe I still prefer to sit at my desk, cranking a microfilm machine. [...]

Modern Genealogy

I didn’t do much genealogy pre computers. I grew up in the computer age, and so it was natural when I started doing genealogy to get a computer. My first computer just use EMACS and a simple word processing program to allow me to type in the family tree. When I found someone or [...]
