How exciting to See GenealogyWise grow in just a few days

I was one of the very early members of GenealogyWise and have seen the membership grow so much in the last three days. I would look at each member to see what names they were searching and see if I could connect. People started signing up so fast, I could not keep up.. This is exciting and I really hope this is successful.

I love the Profile Photos of everyone and especially get tickled at the ones with a pet or when the person was about three... so fun...

I have to admit… Continue

Ask Questions of Family Before It Is To Late!

I started on my quest for genealogy when I was a little girl after getting my assignment to fill out my family tree when I was a member of the LDS Church. I asked my grandmother to help me and when she got to her husband's parents she told me that grandpa had been born out of wedlock and that he was adopted and suggested I add his adoptive father's name as the father. I, being the stubborn little thing I was, didn't want to. I wanted answers. Well, 40 years later, I still don't know my… Continue

Don't we wish those Missouri Death Certificates dated from about 1895....
I wasn't able to locate cemeteries for either of the two older children, William or Mary. Found what I believed was the Springfield cemetery name (New Bethel), but could not learn how to contact an office or learn where the records might be held. A historical society in Springfield might know. In the alternative, if you have cemetery or funeral home detail for either of the two early children, hope you'll comment back.

My Ancestor, Elizabeth (Clark) Preston was first wife of Rev. War patriot, William Preston of Rumney. I did some work on the other Clarks of Rumney. Wrote a research report ...
If you ever convince GW to create an open Clark board, I'll share all. Won't post that much research, however, behind a closed group. --GJ

Would love to join you Clark group ... but I don't know if my 18th century Clarks were English or Irish. Found _really_ coool transcribed court entry early this year that I think is about my ancestor, Elizabeth (Clark) Preston (1760-1807); record dtd 9 Jan 1775 re estate of Joseph Clark by Charles Clark, Joseph Clark, Jonathan Clark, Suannah and Michael Clark.
