Hi all! I'd love to join the genealogy group!!! I've only been at it for about 5 years, but I have been able to find out quite a bit of info.

I found the social group, and I've requested to join.
Most of my research is in the mid-west area, and points east. Mostly in Iowa and Nebraska though.

Genealogy Group has 8 members. Let's talk!

I'm ready! Would anyone like a roll call where we state who, where and when we are researching?

OK, I may be dumb, but I can't find social groups. Would someone help me? thanks!

Cabe09,

Go back to the forum list. Go to the very bottom of the page. You'll see Social Groups underlined. Click on it. Look for Genealgoy Group. If you do not see it look for the 'Search Groups' box. Enter Genealoy Group. Linux is the moderator of the group. Sign up. It's that's easy.

There are a few great websites that explain it but I would like to hear from others what seems to work best!

I've been doing family genealogy for 5 years and love it! Count me in!
Regarding organizing, I use a computer program (Legacy) and scan the documents into my computer, corresponding with the person(s). My organization is by family. After I scan the documents I file the originals in a file cabinet, by subject (marriage/military/birth/death) by name.

Join up Ellwood if you haven't. Let's hear some voices. I use Reunion, piles and files. Someday I'll put it all in a big box and send it to my kids.

Has anyone found a "Famous" ancestor??? One that you are really sure about...
