I am very sorry for having to ask you guys again. I got more information but I needed one more certificate to confirm a couple more peices of information for my mom. I promise this will be my last request I am very sorry! SO if anyone on Ancestry can find me the marriage information, under Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1857-1924, for the names Alfred Charles Rose and Mary Rose. Thank you very very much and I really appreciate all your help in finding my family's past! Allison

The point was - or so I thought - that most of the information found on the internet is suspect, particularly on the genealogy sites, whether free or commercial. Had nothing to do with why you and I and others indulge in this obsession/passion. I do it out of curiosity about my antecedents as well as for the thrill of the chase, which lets me indulge my Sherlock Holmes fantasies. Others do it for other reasons, how 'bout you? A NEED to know, knowledge for knowledge sake, name collecting, one-upmanship with other family members? Bob -- Robert G.

On the maps at Ancestry I am trying to find Carnarsie (sp) and E 40 in the Flatlands of Brooklyn 1880-1920. I think it is there some place, but need some help finding it. It should be the place of the Sigloch farm and Cummings Farm. Thanks for your help Chris

Hello, I am looking for my grandfathers parents and I think these may be it. Could someone who has Ancestry please find me the information for their marriage? The names are Charles Henry Rose and Elsie May Moore and it is under Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1857-1924. I would really appreciate this. Thank you in advance. Allison

I have a couple of questions about the http://www.familysearch.org/ web site which is maintained by the Mormon Church: -- I believe I read somewhere that the site is now closed to future postings. Is this correct? -- Is there any way to correct inaccuracies which I have found in my own family records? The site is a valuable source for confirming and enlarging information you already have, but it must be used with care. It is not "gospel," to coin a phrase.

Can someone who has access to Ancestry please look up a marriage? It's under Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1857-1924. The names are James Edward Armstrong and Lenora Burrows. If someone can give me the information there, it would be a huge, huge help. Thanks in advance to anyone who can do this!

Bob wrote: > I do it [genealogy research] out of curiosity about my antecedents >as well as for the > thrill of the chase, which lets me indulge my Sherlock Holmes > fantasies. Yes, that is the research motivation for me. I find fascinating stories and get a look at their lives in the social and historical context. I research in-laws' families for about two or three generations, sometimes more if they are interesting. And I research all my maternal lines with the same focus as I do the paternal lines. I just follow the trails. My motivation for research has nothing to do with ancestor worship. It has everything to do with curiosity about ancestors, collateral ancestors, and allied families. I definitely don't do it to find famous figures----although I have found a very few. And I've found a few rascals. It balances out. I find the search to be valuable to me and a few members of my family who are particularly interested in history in general. When I find something particularly interesting (such as someone who died at the Alamo), I write up a brief "Family Factoid" e-mail and send it to members of the family. When I began this about three years ago, I put in the disclaimer that there would be no pop quiz later---they might choose to read it now, store it and read it later, or drop it in File 13. It has worked out well and some do love it. Some distant relatives have even asked to be added to the list. I never ask anybody about it later---it's a no-pressure deal. Sometimes I'll get a reply asking for more detail or asking other questions about it. I try to keep the factoids brief and simple. However, the last one I sent out had a "short version" at the top and then the "longer version" added separately at the bottom for those who were interested in more detail. I might only send one every couple of months. I don't want to spam! Warmest Regards, Donna P.S. Right now I'm doing research for a client. I find the search fascinating and fun--and it's nice to help someone else who doesn't have the time to do it himself.

All future additions will go into that database. How / if that will affect non-member access to the familysearch.org site and the data thereon is a trifle unclear at the moment. Not Unless you're Mormom: *IF* you are Mormon and *IF* your Temple district has the replacement mentioned above, you can identify which pieces of information are more-correct than others. If either of those two conditions are not met, you cannot at this time do anything with it. At some point in the future, non-member access to the information will be permitted and it is thought by some that non-members as well as members will be allowed to attach comments to entries. As even the LDS complains : seems to me to need no further comment. Cheryl

Because we have an obsession that is mostly harmless, so society lets us do it without much derision. Many cultures indulge in ancestor worship to varying degress. I know of at least one culture at actually keeps their ancestors' remains (only a couple generations back) in the house! Oh, they're fully "prepared," so there's no health issues. But they will often have the departed sit at the dinner table for ceremonius occasions. "As it harms none, 'do what thou wilt' shall be the whole of the law," proclaims another religion.
