How big is your tree? Tracing your family tree can be a very rewarding and insightful experience. If you're stuck or not sure where to begin, there are government resources that will help. There are links to the Library of Congress and National Archives with birth and immigration records. Was your great-great grandmother born in a small town in Kansas but you can't find it on the map? There are links to historical maps as well. TO VISIT THIS SITE, GO HERE: http://www.governmentguide.com/research_and_education/genealogy.adp

My maternal line has the same person in it 8 times. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
