Hi Sarah, 1. People want to know what happened to make them what they are today. 2. I paint, garden and read. 3. When I was 16, I found my ggrandmother's wedding certificate in an old family bible, and I was hooked. I am 70 now and have been searching for my family tree for at least 30 years. 4. I still get excited when I make a new "find" about my family or when I can make a trip to Kentucky to the courthouse and search. 5. Mostly on the internet, but sometimes the libraries which have all kinds of information, and when I can, I go to the courthouses. 6. I found a little footnote in the back of a library book 30 years ago and didn't know if it pertained to my gggrandfather, but wrote it down. Twenty years later, I got his civil war papers and found the same information that I had jotted down earlier. 7. Courthouses, (clerk's office), libraries, historical museums, old pictures in the family album, your grandparents or aunts and uncles. 8. It is a rewarding challenge. Just make sure you keep notes of where you found your information and stick it away and you may uncover something someday that will match up with your earlier finds. Enjoy it! Roslyn

Roslyn (and list) If you notice, the original post was actually on a forum and you have to click the link to reply on the forum. Sarah probably is not on this list, and probably won't see replies on here. Alice On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 7:14 PM, Roslyn McLendon <nonny984@comcast.net> wrote: > Hi Sarah, > 1.
