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…

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

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.

Hoping to fill in several blanks for birthdates in my group sheets. Some of those records are from before the Chicago fire in 1871 so… Continue

Figuring this out...

Hi everyone,
