In the spirit of the holidays, I like to sometimes give the gift of genealogy to some of my family members. My grandparents, especially, love getting family history gifts. For a couple of years I've given my grandparents a nice, printed out copy of their family tree. My maternal grandmother loves to … [Read more...]

Well, my Grandpa is doing much better now. My wife and I visited him in the hospital on Saturday and he was his old joking self. Hopefully, he'll be coming home shortly.

I logged back into Ancestry and found some new things that they have implemented. I'm really impressed with their "Personal Tree" option. What you do, like a lot of other … [Read more...]
Back in the Game
5 September 2006 By
Looks like I'll be back into doing some family genealogy research. It usually just takes something to re-spark my interest. Along with wanting to use my subscriptions, instead of paying for not using them, I watched a bit of a show on Irish immigrants on the History channel that helped me want to … [Read more...]
