It is May and every year at this time I am thinking, no more cold weather. We had an early Spring and some of our little new leaves got bit, especially the Azaleas. I have been busy planting flowers, putting down mulch and pea gravel, planting the vegetable gardens (well, helping hubby). BUT!!! I am also spending a lot of time each day with my Genealogy. I hope to do 3 Family History Books this year. One on my husband's family, a Vol II on my mother's family and a Vol II on my dad's family. What a wonderful hobby this is. When I first started doing genealogy in 1978, there were only a handful of us out there. We had no internet, no computers and the only way to research was what I call, 'Leg Work'. You went to the library, courthouses, cemeteries. You corresponded with others. You subscribed to Genealogy magazines and placed queries. Now we have Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, Genealogy.com, Family Search.org and many others. Find A Grave.com is a great source of info as well. I have found all kind of new cousins thanks to Facebook too!
