The size of the pond is not determined by the blogging software you use, but by the interest people have in your posts. Both Bogger and Wordpress have the ability to put in tags, which are indexed by sites like Technorati (www.technorati.com). MySpace is more of a social networking site, and people have to be members to respond to most things there, so that is not really a kind of blogging software or blog hosting site. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: hayesmstw@hotmail.com (see web page if it doesn't work) Web: http://hayesfam.bravehost.com/famhist1.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7783/

Carolyn...sorry, what are the chances there are two George W. Wyeth's, one in Spring, PA. and the other in Spring Garden, PA. Thought you left out the full name of the location.

Bob, I have found out in this genealogy world, you have to be mighty careful and take nothing for granted. When I first started 6 years ago, I did and I had to delete a lot of input because I had wrong ancestors entered. It is very interesting tho. Just today, I found out George W was buried in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. That was a great find. Thanks again for looking.

Hello all, I am looking for an online family tree which every family member can update. Can anyone recommend the best free ones? Not all users will be very PC-savy, so I am also looking for something simple :) I tried Kindo, the flash interface is simple, but also seems to have a lot of errors when updating (yes, I do have the most recent flash version) + the section for detailed information is really unneccessary complicated... Tribalpages does seem a bit better, but not exactly what I am looking for...

Thanks Cathy. One note of caution in searching this database. Look both ways, i.e., full name and then just last name. Also, although you can narrow the search by state, don't be hesitant to just use the broadest search possible. Sometimes they index it kinda oddly but don't provide a soundex. Secondly, the obiturary may be in their state of origin or where their children reside. Mike.

Each obituary or death notice is indexed by the name of the deceased person to make searching easier and more precise. In addition, the text of each obituary or death notice is searchable, making it easy to find just what you're looking for, using a place of residence, occupation, names of family members, or other personal information. Appreciate the complement re my skills but in this case it was just using the right resource. Mike

The SS Death Index at Ancestry shows her dying 4 Oct 2003 - that year seems to predate the obituary listings at ancestry. I tried several difference search engines for obituaries, but have not yet found hers (if she even had one). Hope the above helps, Cathy

Much was gone on my last visit. | ecunningham@att.net My cousin's ex-husband never enrolled in the Social Security program. They tried to force him, but he won out. Of course, he didn't get any retirement benefits - but then, he didn't need them. All of his employees, however, were covered (including my cousin). The restaurant I referred to was called the Happy Landing - it was on the Biloxi side of the Back Bay Bridge. I don't know if it was still in existence as late as Hurricane Katrina. I know my mother's former home on St. Charles Avenue in West Biloxi (which withstood Hurricane Camille) disappeared during Katrina! My brother-in-law's niece owned a home directly across the street from it (I found out later) and it was pretty much destroyed as well. My cousin's former home in Bay St. Louis had just the slab left plus a little debris from the house. What's the old saying? It's an ill wind that blows no good? Henry

Many times death certificates also mention which funeral home handled the deceased. Write state agency in Connecticut and ask for a copy of the death certificate. There's a very useful book by Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer, called Long-Distance Genealogy that gives excellent advice on how to this, along with letter templates for the actual correspondence. As it happens I I have it right here on my desk as I type this, and there's an appendix the gives the addresses of the state library and archives for Connecitcut. They are: State Library: 231 Capitol Ave., Hartford CT 06106 www.cslnet.ctstateeu.edu/ Atchives: Connecticut State Library 231 Capitol Ave., Hartford CT 06106 www.cslnet.ctstaeu.edu/archives.htm Do you know the county she died in? Write the county clerk and ask about getting a death certificate. Go to the relevant board on Rootsweb and post a query. Go to http://www.raogk.org/ (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) and ask if someone is willing to do a lookup for you. The above should be enough to get you started. Good luck!
