Joining is a great first step! But to get information, it is advisable to let people know what names/dates/places you are seeking information on, otherwise no one would know what to send you.

I have been actively working on genealogy since late 1987. I take on many additional genealogical projects for many different people, no charge, just to keep myself sharp and expand my horizons. My adopted sister (yes, I'm doing hers, too) is a special ed teacher. Two of her three para eds have asked my to work on theirs. One has US back to England stuff on one side, and Metis Indian/ French Canadian on the other side. The latter is new to me. Another para is African American; her mother was born in St. Kitts. This also is brand new to me, and I am really looking forward to it. Els End of CARIBBEAN Digest, Vol 4, Issue 205 *****************************************
