So here is some information on the new tree that will be merging with mine very soon. Darcy’s tree is a bit different from mine, which is nice since it allows me to research other types of ancestors that I’m not used to. She has a few ancestors that were in the Revolutionary War and a few in the Civil War. I only have one in the Civil War, that I’m aware of. Otherwise, she has mostly eastern European ancestors, as do I. Just like my tree she has a bunch of Polish, Irish and German.

I’m going to work on merging the two trees soon, so it’ll be easier to browse. But, for now, her tree is still posted.

I’ve been doing a lot more research on the east coast states, mainly Virginia, Delaware (Hi, we’re in..Delaware), Maryland, etc and it’s not as easy as I had assumed it would be. I say this because I had assumed there were a lot more records since those states have been around the longest. I’ve been doing some more research for my fiancee’s tree (which will soon be merged with mine) and she has a lot of east coast ancestors. I have absolutely none, all of my ancestors either came straight to Wisconsin via foreign lands, or through Canada, eh? It’s very boring on this side, plus it’s not the easiet thing to find records for some of these other countries.

Does anyone have any tips on doing research (mainly online) for the east coast? I have yet to travel to our local Family History Center since it’s rarely open when I’m available. I do have nearly full-access to Ancestry.com.
