Hi Everyone and Happy Halloween Week! I just wanted to follow-up on Doyles comments about the free server space at rootsweb. After he first sent out the information I became intrigued enough to look into it and after a little coaching I posted my family information. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was quite simple and since posting I find it to be a powerful research tool. I have been able to search on the various family names in my database and compare them to the listings that come up in other peoples databases. I was able to make a connection on my mother's side of the family that moves one line back to Germany in the 1500's. I have also uncovered some other possible connections in other lines. I would encourage all of you to utilize this new service, whether for posting your own family or for research.
