Researching your own family history can be very time consuming but it is also a huge learning experience. Many of the links to research areas will seem like I have sent you to dead end areas. I haven't, you will have to learn to use search engines, read census reports and hand writing of old documents.

I will continue to add as much help for you as I can, in the starting and
processing of your journey onward.

You will think that you may never find what you are looking for and then 'Wam!' there it is... right where you didn't want to take the time to look because that area looked too complicating to learn about, so you put it off to the last and wasted alot of your time by trying to avoid the tedious task, only to return to it, learn your way through and in the end you found what you wanted all along, right where you thought it was but were afraid to go! Use your instinct; if it tells you to look in a certain area don't put it off because it will take too long to research that area...it will take much longer in the long run. This is not to say that you should not try all your leads; but go with the most probable first.
