Every year after Christmas, we get many new listers who are brand new to genealogy. They get on line and from their questions you know they are newbies. I am not trying to put them down but am trying to be helpful by suggesting that all our new members check out these informative sites: ROOTSWEB'S GUIDE TO TRACING FAMILY TREES (RWGuide) http://rwguide.rootsweb.com/ Irish, Scots-Irish, and Scottish http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson21.htm They are extremely well put together and offer a lot of help. We all started out once upon a time and when I started these lessons were not available. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA GenExchange Rensselaer County and Westchester County Coordinator http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state=ny&county=rensselaer http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state=ny&county=westchester Researching: Connors/O’Connor, Flynn, Campbell, McEntee, Carter, Booth, Boyle, Smith, O’Rourke, Cullinan, Martin, Manning, Fahey, Healey http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~nymets/
