Genealogy anyone?

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.

It gets frustrating at times then you find one little nugget of info and off you go down another branch.

My cousin did ours he is a retired police detective so it was right up his alley.
He made three trips to Italy,and the stuff he came up with fills three big lose leaf notebooks, he made it back to 1710, it took him about 10 years to get it done.
