I got interested at your age and started out with only a few names and places - Now my kids are grown and I have about 15,000 ancestors collected. Take lots of notes. Collecting ancestors is alot like creating a large jigsaw puzzle. You start collecting littles clues only the puzzle is never finished. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Do you have pedigree charts and family group sheets to put your families on? If you dont I would be happy to mail you some. I'm the director of one of the Family History Centers and I like to help people get started. If you would like for me to mail you some I would be happy to. Ask your parents first for permission to give me your address. If they say it's OK you can send it to me privately at dianew@cyberramp.net Diane Williams (My BOND family is from Missouri)
