I've spent many an hour looking through microfilms on them, including census records back when they weren't on the internet yet. Imagine having to actually order, and then wait for, a census record hoping your ancestor was on that specific film?<br /><br />Ya, these young whipper-snapper genealogists don't know what they missed out on back in the old days!<br /><br />Good luck with your further research Wendy!<br /><br /> Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-82725995689580661142012-10-25T12:16:15.025-04:002012-10-25T12:16:15.025-04:00Good job, Wendy!

It was so exciting finding something you were looking for. I haven't been out in the field on a real genealogy search in many years so it was exciting to hear about all your finds. Hopefully next time you will find the missing pieces. On another note I joined the DAR 20 years ago when I first started my genealogy research and when my husband and I visited Washington, DC in 1998 we visited the DAR house their. Quite a bit of history!Teresa Wilson Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340825601857084302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-45008211957820704922012-10-25T08:11:25.860-04:002012-10-25T08:11:25.860-04:00That's exciting technology.
