I'll be heading to Russell County, Kentucky in about 3 weeks for a short family vacation/research trip. Trying to make a plan for the best use of my time. Can't spend entire days anywhere and will basically be there for a 3 day week-end. Wish I was…
I share your "don't know so much or how to" dilemma. I'm 55, creeping up on 56 quicker than I ever thought imaginable. I twitter, but have had problems with it, I am on Facebook and have lots of contacts, but prefer the Farmtown game to some of the…
My 2c on GW "censorship" of disrespectful posts. Since discussion threads don't show up on My Page automatically, I'd have to go LOOKING for disrespectful posts. I'd never have known about these posts if they hadn't been removed (and then Tweeted).…
I get frustrated pretty easily, but is it especially whiny of me to complain about all of the different places I need to update information when I "hit the jackpot"? Whenever you find a resource that you've never seen before, obviously you're going…

I'm really excited that tomorrow I'm going to the Newberry Library in Chicago! I'll be researching church records for my husband's DANKER and DABELSTEIN line. They both attended 1st St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church, which no longer exists. The c…
Joy, a couple of weeks ago, I visited the Johnson County Historical Museum's genealogy room in Franklin and it was wonderful. The staff was very helpful! If you haven't been there, I highly recommend it! Parts of my family currently live in Franklin…
Researching DABELSTEIN from Lubeck in Nothern Germany. Found that Ancestry has several records from Lubeck including birth records from the date range I'm searching, but had no luck finding Dabelstein name. I know that every record follows the same…

A wonderful problem??
I get frustrated pretty easily, but is it especially whiny of me to complain about all of the different places I need to update information when I "hit the jackpot"? Whenever you find a resource that you've never seen before, obviously you're going to collect every record for every family member that you can. So after my trip to the Newberry, seeing Chicago German Lutheran Church records resulted in a LOT of records that I brought home. In fact, there was a point when I was telling my husband, "… Continue

Newberry Library in Chicago
I'm really excited that tomorrow I'm going to the Newberry Library in Chicago! I'll be researching church records for my husband's DANKER and DABELSTEIN line. They both attended 1st St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church, which no longer exists. The church records are on microfilm, but are only available in 3 locations - Salt Lake City, St. Louis and the Newberry.

Figuring this out...
Hi everyone,
I was never a part of Facebook (althought I've seen a little of my kids' pages) so I'm trying to figure out how this works. I'm really hoping this doesn't become something that I become so wrapped up in that I never have time for research! Looking forward to meeting lots of new friends!
