    3. Hey, Debbie.... So nice to hear from you after such a long time, and I hope all is well. I think you should go to your storage unit and get all your genealogystuff out! You never when those things will flood or when something disastrous will happen and then it will all be gone. I know you did a lot of work way back in the early days of the list, and you should secure that work! As for other places to look, have you tried FamilySearch.org? It is the website of the LDS Church, and they have many many records online for searching. You can search by name or you can go to a specific region of the country/world and search for information. They have digitized millions of records, but not all of them are indexed. You may need to just go through them a page at a time. www.familysearch.org Find-A-Grave is also a good source to search for birth/death information and burials. www.findagrave.com Mocavo is a huge subscription search engine that will comb the web for stuff. www.mocavo.com And then there are other subscription sites... MyHeritage (http://www.myheritage.com/research ), Archives (http://www.archives.com ), Find My Past (www.findmypast.com) and government sites like the Library of Congress. Also the USGenweb page for Saratoga County (http://saratoganygenweb.com/) ... There are just tons of places to look. Plus you can look through the list archives to see if you've missed anything, and you can check on the Saratoga Co., NY list to see what is there. I know this is a lot, but things have really ballooned since we first got going with the list over 20 years ago. The Internet has really made things easier to find, but you still have to dig for them. Hope this gives you some suggestions....

I've noticed that there is a real lack of information on the Saratoga NY Loveless's back in the 1700's. Does anybody know how I could get any of you to contribute directly to the tree? I don't really know where all my original research is in my storage unit (where all my worldly belongings are) but I KNOW I have a load of information that none of the Loveless researchers on Ancestry seem to have. Also any tricks that I can use will be greatly appreciated, I love getting the census and birth/death record matches, but there has to be other places to look for more intricate stuff.
