"Civil War Era" 1861-1869"

Happy Thursday folks - I know I promised some free internet searches for u but today, I am going to change up a little and tell u that if u have some folks u r researching in the 1861 - 1869 era, the men may have been in the civil war.  I am telling u this because Ancestry.com has a free civil war search thats right free until April 14th.  I thought it best for your hunt that u be aware of this and take advantage.  Happy hunting thru the civil war.  See ya all TGIF, friday.  love cg

Help Help Help

Have you come to a halt yet?  I have...Cannot find anything on Ancestry.com.  So I am going to start searching other Free websites for her name.  USGENWEB is a free site for everystate.  So I am going to try searching for her there.  It has also come to my attention that she may have died under another name which means she may have gotten married again.  I am rechecking the ss death index for the new name.  If you need a little help send me a comment and I'll steer you in the right direction.  See ya'all tomorrow with another free website to try.

"Newspapers help with the hunt"

Happy Tuesday folks. How was the hunt? Did u find anything out? Ancestry.com usually has a trial period. Did u try it? Would love to know how it went--did u search the marriage index for the male. If u find him, u'll find the female. In my case, I know the maiden name but that is all. Think about her approximate birthdate. Dont get frustrated, dont give up. I couldnt find anything either spelling her name Katherine or Catherine. I found a article in a newspaper of a car accident and they spelled her name with a "C" and her age, so now I got her approximate birth year, husband's birthyear and her 2 children and ages. I got alot from this article. Newspapers give a wealth of information. Happy hunting today! cg

Where do I start?

Its Monday, How was was your weekend?  Did u go visiting--If not, I'll remind u next weekend.  By now you know whom (surname) your going 2 research so its time 2 go hunting.  Today, I want to talk about your particular surname u r hunting.  Whether it be on your mother's/father's side.  First step in hunting is 2 get 2 know something about him/her.  Did u get the birth/death date?  Did u find out where he lived?  Lets explore this a little more....Lets say u know nothing about her.   We r going to use my names as examples.  Katherine Vanalstye Mykel.  If u have access to Ancestry.com.  That would be my first place.  If u dont, try a free online search in google such as Katherine Vanalstyne Mykel/genealogy.  Try to find free search engines for your name.  Tomorrow will talk about what u found.  Have a great Monday

"Surname"

Happy Friday....have u decided on a surname 2 follow yet?  How far back did u get with your tree.  This is a start.  Since the weekend is here, this is your homework....go visiting your relatives, very old or very knowledgeable and collect info trying to fill in those blanks...right down stories, anything you can ... everything you can but don't tire the older relatives although they will probably tire u out....they will welcome ur visit and to revisit the older days...they may even have pictures...take your digital camera with u and take some of ur own...go home and organize all the information u got..dont 4get to write down the relatives as resources.  Happy visiting....see ya all monday   cg
