[QUOTE="donna723, post: 413116, member: 1883"] What a wonderful thing to have turn up out of the blue like that! And what great luck that Tony dismantled it and didn't just toss it on the fire! Janet, have you ever tried going on Ancestry.com? It's about $20 a month to join if you do it month to month or less if you sign up for a year. I've been on it for about a month and I've found the answers to questions I've had for years! I never even knew my great-grandparents names and now I know who they were, what they did, where they came from, where they lived, and even saw pictures of some of them! And when you put in someone's name, even if you're not sure who they are, if that person is in someone elses "Tree", even a distant relative, it will tell you and you can look on theirs and see what information they have on that person. And it brings up all kinds of records for that person - birth, death and marriage records, old census information, immigration records, military records, all kinds of things. You can even add pictures if you have them. I've found out all sorts of things and even figured out who the heck some of those peripheral relatives were that I vaguely remember from when I was a kid! I even know what one of my great-great-grandfathers looked like now! It's a lot of fun and very intriguing. I found some addresses, looked them up on Google Earth, and saw the house that my grandfather lived in when he was a little boy! You might give it a try ... but fair warning - it [U]IS[/U] addicting!
