You can try the Family Tree Maker website. They have information on how to join classes, etc... I don't have the URL so maybe someone here can send it to her????? As far as working, I am sure that the local gen. society would hire you out to someone who needs research done for them. That is the way it is done in my home-town; turned out that my researcher was related to me so now she does it for free! <BG> Good luck!!!
