Wow it has been a while!

Wow it has really been a while! I have missed searching for my family history. I plan to get back into it and start hunting down some more missing ancestors soon.  I have to try to remember all the ways I used to hunt and track my genealogy. I also need to update my files with deaths and births since I have been in la la land for a bit. I need to get our tree back online also. Currently the links aren't working. Lots to do!

I plan to update the blog with some useful tips and hints on how to go about searching for your ancestors. This will help other people who are searching as well as remind myself of how I went about it in the first place.
