If you have been working on your family tree for any amount of time, I dare you to walk away from it for a week. In many cases it can't be done. Oh, I can move from working on one person, or one branch, but it seems like everyday I have to do something on it. I guess I'm hooked. For some people it can be a part time hobby, but for me it's like a full time job (but with no pay). I'm always trying to find new sources of information. One of my favorites is familysearch.org. It is run by the Mormon church and they have tons of records both from the USA and other countries. For my husband's side of the family, I have seem lots of records from Texas. My side has been a bit harder to find records for, because not all states are as open with their records. But they do have lots of US census records extracted, and some you can view on site. You will need to register for free, but it really is worth it! You can print and even save to your computer. Plus if you have the time, they are always looking for volunteers to index records from home to their database. Sounds like a wonderful way to give back! Until next time.
Keep branching out!
