Probably why I have not gotten back to what I started YEARS ago!<br />I've been deep cleaning the last couple of days and I came across a picture album that my great aunt put together for me back in 1999. I've been collecting and talking to the older memebers of the family for years.......I've just never put it together in an fashion.<br />Thanks for the information about the programs AND the free websites.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273525995021787486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-22780062699178185272012-04-10T20:01:03.261-04:002012-04-10T20:01:03.261-04:00I've never heard of the name Hiram until just ...I've never heard of the name Hiram until just now, Wendy, and you have 7 of them! It is the Naked Creek address/town that has gotten my attention. Do you think that they might have lived near hot springs? ;-)<br /><br />I love the way you write about your family. You have such a great sense of humor, and I am really enjoying getting to know everybody.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-10536468316645764312012-04-10T04:57:23.111-04:002012-04-10T04:57:23.111-04:00I was researching my family history and fell in lo...I was researching my family history and fell in love with it, it is addictive, I doscovered Thomas was a long used family name and a few others we had no idea about, the whole genology thing is so interesting.

I guess I can get to her on Day 26! <br />As for family history, the rule of thumb is start with what you know: record names, dates, birth/death, marriage/divorce, etc. for yourself, your parents, your grandparents, whatever you know. You need to decide whether you want to just do your direct line or learn about collateral lines (the lines of your direct ancestors' brothers and sisters). I highly recommend having a program like Family Tree Maker or Legacy or Roots Magic because programs help you spot holes in your research. Subscribing to Ancestry is helpful, but for basic searches like census records, you can use FamilySearch for free. Websites like genforum.com and rootsweb.com are great for connecting to people who might have already gathered info on your line. <br /><br />I feel like I've thrown a lot at you. Feel free to email me if you have questions or just want to chat further about getting started. I'm no expert, but am happy to share.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-81385070139145843082012-04-09T21:31:38.203-04:002012-04-09T21:31:38.203-04:00This is my 3rd visit here nad I am once again impr...This is my 3rd visit here nad I am once again impressed at your knowledge of your family history. I tried to name my children unpopular yet not bizarre names...and now my son's name is becoming popular 20 years after I named him...but it isn't Hiram :)<br />Happy A-Z April!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295499795085860012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-1117951022902384042012-04-09T21:11:11.160-04:002012-04-09T21:11:11.160-04:00My daughter and daughter-in-law are BOTH Jennifer!...My daughter and daughter-in-law are BOTH Jennifer!<br />Guess what the most popular name was 26/28 years ago?<br />My DIL was SO happy when my daughter got married (then they both had different LAST names!)
