Such a wonderful thread! :) Very beautiful too!

I was thinking about going back and research my ancestors. I only go as far back as my great grandparents.

Thank you, GeeBee. This was a fun thread to work on.

If you start doing research, be forewarned that it can be very addicting!! :)

My ancestors must be in a Witness Protection Plan.
Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall out!
How can ONE ancestor cause so much trouble?
I looked into my family tree and found out I was a sap.
If only people came with pull down menus and online help.
Isn't Genealogy Fun? The answer to one problem leads to two more.

It's very rewarding when it goes well and you actually make some connections, but very frustrating when you hit a brick wall as I have with my dad's family. His mother came over from Ireland in the early 1900's and his father's family seems not to exist as far as I can tell. I have searched census records and marriage records and have found nothing. I'm not very good at it though and don't really know where to look next.
