Have been working on locating my husband's lines in the census records. I'm going to have a real challenge working on his lines as they aren't based in the South. His family are Canadians and Scots who arrived in Michigan most coming down from Canada. This will give me a chance to try research in that state as well as to get familiar with researching Catholic church records as most of them were of that faith.

Has been forever since I've posted to my genealogy blog. I'm now attending classes at Wallace State Community College and will hopefully finish out my associates degree within a yr. Wednesday Oct 4th I will be giving an informative speech in my Communications class on Beginning your genealogy research. The speech can be from 7-9 minutes long so hopefully I will have just enough info. I know the topic...I just don't like speaking in front of people. Hopefully it won't rain as I have to hike across campus to this Communications class. It was originally supposed to be directly across from my first class of the day...not any more.

I know I'm a little late about writing about this but Rootsweb users now have the option of registering. I really like this cause it allows me to view a listing of all the areas I'm active in at Rootsweb with the exception of the Rootsweb/Ancestry Message Boards which from what I understand are going to be updated soon. I can view a listing of Post ems that I've added to others files my RSL a list of WorldConnect Files and a listing of my Mailing list memberships as well as a listing of those I admin(and a link to my tools page for those). Also for those who have PML there is a link to your PML settings page. :-)
