Shy Genealogist commented on Stephen Garnett Cox's group 'Kentucky Genealogy'
Anyone researching or living in the Russell County area? I'll be going there in about 3 weeks and would love to talk with someone who can give me some ideas on the best use of my time.
Russell County, Kentucky
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 more familiar with the area...

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…
Shy Genealogist replied to Nat Ins for Genealogical Studies's discussion 'Help us determine the level of censorship at GenealogyWise'
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…
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,…See More

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.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…See More

Shy Genealogist commented on Leah's group 'Indiana Genealogy'
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…
Shy Genealogist commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group 'Germany and German Ancestry'
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…

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!
