How about a Roll Call ????
We haven't had a roll call in a long time. Would each member please take the time to post, as a reply to this message, your important SURNAMES and the area of research.IE; Borg >Sweden>Utah>Idaho> California. A rollcall is a great tool in our genealogy research. Thanks, Mike

I came across this site for deaths in WV from a link to Harrison Co Historical Society. It also has births and marriages. Not all my family is listed but I did find a death notice for my gr grandfather. It is another tool

spellings
had a conversation with some people just starting on family trees and they were upset by the misspellings. remember the people the wrote on the census papers were just like the rest of us and not perfect and the old styles of writing are sometimes hard to read and many families spell the names in different ways. also those who came from non English speaking countries had accents and were hard to the people at Ellis Island and Castle Garden to understand. try different spellings like c or k c or s never know what will show up.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Not new to group!!
I managed to deactivate myself--not a good thing!! Now I'm in the process of rejoining my groups.
DNA
I have a friend who thinks there may be Native American in their family history and are going to have DNA testing done to check. It will be on the female side of their family and I told them I would see if I could find information for them. So, my question is: Can any of you tell me what is the best and most reliable site/sites that would test their DNA to see if they do or do not have the Native American? More than one would be nice if you have the info so they could make an informed decision including costs.
New to Group
Hi ya'll!!
I'm taking a chance with this group, hoping to possibly cash in on genealogy info and some good advice once in a while. I've been "digging" for about four years now into my family history and have hit lots of brick walls. This group seems to have some insight to good genealogy practices, so maybe we can share info and photos to all our advantage. I'm looking forward to the contact.

I'm starting to work on my families again. I have to take a break once in awhile. This is hard work but it is so much fun when you discover something you didn't know. Hope each of you discover many things today!!!
Updated Post of Family
Is there any way we can have an updated post of everyone's families or to bring the old post to the top so the newbies can add theirs?
Happy Birthday
