If people fail to see it, I'll unpin it. (Skinner said that people often don't look at pinned threads because they get used to them being the same - even if they aren't).

Thanks for the link!

Very helpful site, will certainly save time to have everything in one list.

Glad you're getting started at an earlier age than I did. By the time I got started doing my research, I was one of the oldest in the family and had very few resources I could go to for info. Do yourself a big favor and interview the older members of your family before it's too late.

Good luck on your search! Hope you have as much fun as I do with genealogy.

Fulton History: A wonderful resource for New York genealogists. I acquired a wealth of information from this collection of archived newspapers, to include a 1911 article about my "bad boy" of a grandfather, who developed a case of 'sticky fingers' while shopping at the corner store.

She was born in Oswego. Within one month, working full-time on it, I had
over 400 family members with tons of documentation. And her family
only emigrated there in the early 1900s. It is a truly amazing source.

for the list. I usually use Ancestry but I get the guilty feeling that it allows me to do sloppy work. I am excited to try some other sites. I have a great great grandfather that apparently just sprung from the ground one day. I swear he must have changed his name and went on the lam! It will be fun to look elsewhere for him, the stinker.

and thank you!!

I decided not to renew my ancestry.com account. Too much bad/wrong info. there now with their "new" system which I really don't much care for (deleted my trees).

The price has gone up a lot as well. They call it a "minor" increase.

Minor is not equal to 20%+ in my book!

Subscription went from $155.00/yr. to $189.00/yr. for "members" only; $199.00/yr. for new members.
