By the way, Beej, our Cousins DIck and Isabel whom I just visited in Maine, are in your age bracket and they also bought "The Great Migration Begins." Maybe they can give you some tips! >> Carolyn, cousins, list members I was surprised beyond expectations of this CD. It has more than I expected. I got into the Surname list and was surprised who they had listed and my Burton surname was there. Not sure that it is a connection or not yet, more research. Got into the reading of the what, who, where fors, and books that were used for research of this great series. So far I have been able to get where I want. The reading in the beginning of this was so interesting I spent 2 1/2 hrs reading and just thinking what a great piece of genealogy work. I plan to take at least 2 hrs. a wk end and read as well as check the sites out and see if there are any maps in this begining CD. When I first heard of this work I did not think it would apply to me when I read that it was New England Mr. Anderson was beginning with but the info is so good and over whelming and of general use that I am glad that I took the leap and purchased it. It has much in it that I would never find at all if I were going to the library doing the research myself. He even cretiques several books and gives each their short comings and where they fail or are of much value, where one is good in resources over another and that all three have valuable info if you know what to look for. For me the pennies it cost will be well worth the expenditure for this researcher. << One of the other features of the upgraded site will be my attempt (once more) to provide computer, internet, and software How-To help, in addition to my genealogy and history ideas. >> I will look forward to this section of your website as I have had no formal PC learning and anything in lay language is aways helpful. Carolyn, keep up the good work as I for one am learning places to go and new things to learn and you spark my gray matter to the hilt. Beej
