Ah, I was doing a bunch of looking back a few years. If I had kids, I probably would have kept it up - but basically was doing things for my own and for fun. I found what I started out looking for - as I had never known where my dad's father came into the states from - and I found out that they migrated to Canada, then to the US (his grandparents came to the US) - and I discovered a branch of the family still in Canada. That was neat. I know a lot on my mother's side - and someone way back when really did a lot - but the book he had sent to our family disappeared and I'm still working on finding a relative who has one to get a copy. They say we have some American Indian blood on my Mom's side - but I never have seen proof of that - but we all know somethings they tried to sweep under the rug - so it may or may not be true.
Good luck in your searching - it can be fun and frustrating at the same time.
