  • Merry Christmas

    From Al Kaiser@1:142/926 to All on Friday, December 08, 2017 09:13:54
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All from CT USA.

    Now a quick question are there any mail area for Geneology? I've started to work on family history and it would be interesting to talk to other that are doing the same.

    Thanks and take care!

    on the internet, really... nothing on BBSes any more... check out the two most popular genealogy sites... be prepared to pay $$$ for access to any real information...

    You need to contact Nancy Backus. She is big into genealogy and she could help you.

    She's in COOKING mainly these days. If you can't get her that way, netmail me and I'll put you in touch with her directly (she calls my board a lot).

    Later,

    that might be the other one i was thinking of... my parents were more into it than i... i just entered the data from the book and found some interesting relationships... they took it from there...

    Being Mormon, I do have a bias here, but that website has access to the
    world's largest genalogical library. It's open to everyone (not just
    Mormons though it does have special features for members). Nancy could probably tell you a lot more places than I could; I haven't done very much research myself though my mother has gone back 18 generations on her side.

    I belong to Ancestry.com. But am unable to get past 1 generation of granparents on my father's side. On my mother's side I believe my great- grandparents. I'm still looking.

    There are two progams on TV where people research their ancesters, one is Finding Your Roots and the other is Who Do you Think You Are?. Finding your Roots is on PBS and Who Do You Think You Are is on Discovery.

    A couple of actors have traced all the way back to one of the 1st kings of Great Britain, (for sure), but the English Geneoloists have a suspected tree that they trace all the way back to Christ to show true British Royality.

    My suspected tree goes back to the first emporor of Germany and through marrige British Royality. I would sure like to be able to prove that!
