Genealogy anyone?

[Eleven]

I use Ancestry.com and Familysearch.org. I pay for Ancestry. 20 bucks a month is a little steep but the info is invaluable. I just contacted someone at our county historical society for help locating the death and burial info on my direct ancestor 5 generations back.

He vanished, leaving 2 plots in the cemetery where everyone else is buried. I just heard from her today and she thinks she is on his trail. She has death info on him and its a good start. My next stop though is most likely a few counties north, where she suspects he was actually buried.

I am addicted to the family tree now. I traced my direct ancestors as early as 1610 in Germany. We changed our name right off the boat in Philadelphia in the 1750s. Funny how many Germans actually did this.
