Peter Lots and Lots and Lots of time and no T.V. smile I have a job and three kids and after they went to bed (my husband is a computer widow ha ha) I put the names that I was looking for on the Roots page. I new that they came from Augusta Ontario at one point so that is how I started. Others would post web pages and I would look into them. Then I met on this page a man (Larry) who helped me with a book called the Manitoba Script (I am now looking at getting as I have info in there about my family) I took a chance and looked up any emails for one of the names I was looking for (Timlick) and found a distant cousin in the states that gave me a bit more info. Then I was told to look into the Church of Later Day Saints and found that an Uncle of mine had put in alot of info about our family with them before he died (no computers then) Why I have no idea but this is a place that I found alot of info. I had no idea that they had this or why I would look there. I then found a link to Lanark Count and found a man posted a message about his family two years ago and I emailed him and found that I am related to him my ggggrandmother and his ggggrandfather are brother and sister and I am yet to find out some info from him that he is sending to me. That is pretty much how I found out the info that I have......I did get a Family Tree Generations cd package 100.00 that I put all my info in on a disk and I can look up some names and ship lists on that. The only other cost that I had was for the mega paper and ink because I would print out anything that looked like I may need that and go back and look it over from time to time. I blew my parent's away with what I found as they were still on my g grandmothers maiden name and I was past that. If not for the help of other's from this page I would not have got as far as I did and I am very greatful to everyone on this page for all the links and messages and answered questions that they gave me.. They have helped me give my parents and my children a great gift of family history going into the year 2000. Because of the help they gave I found persons born in the late 1700's coming from Scotland on this thing called a computer that these people didn't even think could have been poss. We then found the graves and my parent's found more dates from there. Tell me more about your what you are looking for and I will see what I can do for you as others helped me Toni
