It has gotten lots extra handy and lots swifter with the internet. There was once kin tree magazines with pages of classified ads, "finding for connections to John Smith, m. Malinda McCorkle, Pocatello Idaho 1888; suitable lines Jones, Brown, Miller, Johnson and Rabinowitz". you may deliver the advertiser what you had and a SASE, she could deliver you back what she had, you may make a connection, you will possibly not. The magazines got here out as quickly as a month. The positioned up took a minimum of a week the two procedures. you may now examine 5 surname bulletin boards and a county one in 10 minutes. you ought to use the surname / important different mixture in RWWC to make connections too. To examine a census you used to ought to borrow the microfilm from a FHL (2 - 6 week wait), bypass to an exceedingly huge library that had an index, scroll for the period of the microfilm, discover it WASN'T your grandfather John, borrow yet another reel . . . Now, at a FHC or a library or in the privateness of your homestead, you may zip to the web site you prefer in a minute or 2. on the different hand, all those rumors of GGGGrandma being a Cherokee princess and GGGP being exiled for poaching the King's game have taken wing. people will have faith something they see on the pc. (some will, a minimum of.)

Mostly exciting. Among my ancestors:
1: One relative on one side of the family that hid out Bonnie Prince Charlie (young pretender to British throne in the mid-1800's) and one from another side of the family that tried to have him arrested.
2: Narragansett (Manhattan and Long Island) Indian Princess in 17th century
3: Mayflower New England settler
4: Cousin to Neville Chamberlain (not sure if that's all that good to admit to)
5: Black Irish from Spanish Armada shipwreck
6: Bastard from Henry VIII
7: One born on the boat half-way to America
8: One a bootlegger during prohibition
9: One a ballerina with the NY Ballet under Balanchine
10: Heirress to the French's Mustard fortune (their descendents cut my branch of the family out - we were too critical of the "400")

Well we knew that my grandfather ran off from his family in Germany when he was 17 because he did not want to be in the catholic church or something like that but when we researched it he supposedly had a different last name than what he told us and had very rich parents.
