Digging for ancestors...

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Thanks for the links, Randi!!
The 4th one doesn't work...

Well Lut, it does for me, but I suppose it depends on what browser you're using. I use Safari. If you're on a PC, try Firefox or Opera, they're both good.

It's been a few years since I searched for ancestors, but at my cousins 70th birthday party I st next to another cousin who is also interested in finding out more. He is using "Legacy" to make a family tree for our family - quite interesting. I haven't got the software, yet. But if any of you are interested in this, try it! The software is free.

So fun! Interesting tracing relative forward as well as back!

[Randi]

Yes, it's quite interesting. You have to be very precise with dates and names, though. On my mother's side, I can trace them back to 1760 and on my father's side to 1783, but hopefully I, or my cousin will find out more. I'm pretty sure the families on both sides came from Germany. John could trace his family back to 926! His niece, who I'm still in touch with, is very much into Genealogy.
