This section is brought to you by popular demand. Well, it wasn't actually a visitor demand, but I thought it would be a great help to other researchers. Because of this site, I've been lucky enough to correspond with many relatives I didn't even know I had until they viewed my site and then wrote for information. Some of these new found relatives, as well as other visitors, told me they're just beginning to research their family histories and have asked where to start. Perhaps this section can answer some of the most commonly asked questions and some you haven't even thought of until now. I'd still be happy to answer any questions you have if you can't find the answer within these pages. My e-mail link can be found on the homepage.
