Hi all! Other suggestions: Buy, or borrow from your local library, a book/s on the subject. Visit your local Genealogy Society and chat to the members. Check out the many programs in the computer program dept. of larger computer stores. Subscribe to/buy one or some of the Genealogy magazines available. Read other family histories or even local & school histories in your local library and see how others have gone about it. Any one got any more? Chris C. Sunraysia.
