That's GREAT! This is very exciting! I'm so new to this that I would not have thought about using those kinds of resources. I have so much to learn. From what you said, I assume that you have to actually visit the library to get microfilm records, right? Do you live in Collin County? If I am able to sort out my mother's side of the family, I guess it will give me the experience I need to tackle my father's side. Everything I have stops with my grandparents when they came to America from Italy around 1908-9. I should have learned Italian when my father wanted to teach me. AND asked for more family stories! From both parents. Michele Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
