Wow thanks for the advice!! It is very disappointing when you see all these great Kilgore family trees & you can't connect ANYWHERE because you have no information to go on. Since I'm new at this I have a dumb question. I went to the Family History Center to look at a microfilm. I got sicker than a dog!! My head was spinning & I was really sick (nausea) I could barely drive home.(I get car sick too) Does anybody else go through this weird sick feeling looking at Microfilm? Any ideas or tips on how not to get sick?? They just called to say the right film came in (last one was wrong film) I'm not too excited about going back there! I felt I could ask this question on THIS board because you are a real easy going group.

HI Carolyn, I do not get sick like you do but I do get this felling that comes over me when I am the Archives. It is as if I can not think right. If I do not write down everything I want to look up I can not remember my own name! I can only stay a few hours because I just can not think straight. My head becomes a fuss ball sitting on my shoulders. My brain becomes a major fog bank. I think that is how I feel,, sitting in a fog cloud and not being able to see my hand in front of my face. (hubby says I live in a fog bank all the time! LOL) Even with the notes in front of me I have a hard time remembering which line goes to what family, much less what County I need to be searching, or who I want to look up. I have had to go back many times because I could not think to look for the children or parents in the census, and still need to go back now for the same reasons! All I can tell you is that you might try to look away from the film while it is moving as much as you can, and you might try Dramin (SP????) what ever that is for motion sickness. You can pick some up at the pharmacy. We all know how frustrating it can be not to find connections. I have looked for 16 years for information on my Grandmothers death. Just found it and her grave this past week! And my Mother is still alive but did not know! Go figure! Hang in there, we all have been there. We all share what we find even if it is not related to our lines. It might help someone else connect. Carol I also want to thank all of you for your prayers. I will let you know how he is doing as soon as I hear more.
