The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the General Chit-Chat board under the existing topic of Re: Newbie needs some help... -------------------------------- Hi- A good place to start may be the http://www.genforum.com site...You can post queries on the MASS page and the WILLIAMS page. Give as much detailed information as possible. Though we would like no one has a crystal ball so help those who may try to help you make a connection with mutal Williams researcher on your line. Another place you might try is the http://www.familyhistory.org the lds site... Another site is http://www.gencircles.com You might consider doing a gedcom and posting on http://www.gencircles.com for this helps to network with others who may be searching your same line. Like Adrian stated please do a gedcom for this site. You might check with the historical society in the area where your WILLIAMS lived for a period of time for someone who may be searching the same family may have reposited information with the historical societies. YOu may check the Library of Congress to see if anyone has reposited a book on your lineage. There are many resources for doing genealogy. A final note allied lines and surnames don't forget to look at their sites for they may have information on your lineage or surname... Hope this helps. Gayle
