And I will let you know what I find out!<br /><br />Mary, Wow, I think everyone dreams of finding they have nobility in their family tree - how fun for you!<br /><br />Kathy, My sister and I visited Ellis Island to try to find the record of my g.f.'s entrance. We had no idea why we couldn't find him. I found out through Ancestry.com that he arrived in Key West via Cuba!!! <br /><br />And I have found civil war pay documents, burial receipts, etc., etc. Too fun.Mary Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156641491060184072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696752275509036420.post-40548146209922824142011-03-28T18:28:37.829-06:002011-03-28T18:28:37.829-06:00You will find you can spend hours and hours on anc...You will find you can spend hours and hours on ancestry. We even connected on FB with relatives we never knew after finding them through ancestry. We have documents from Ellis Island, birth/death records, sale of properties, etc. Amazing tool.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696752275509036420.post-6241490333708573572011-03-28T12:54:01.817-06:002011-03-28T12:54:01.817-06:00Mary Christine,

My brother traced our family tree back to the middle ages - a very time consuming task but well worth the effort he put into it. What makes us all laugh is that he found out my father came from nobility while my mother came from a line of peasant farmers which is what they had told us all along so I guess sometimes family stories that are passed down are true. We used to tease my dad when he claimed to be a descendant of a duke only to find out he was right!Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696752275509036420.post-46617373860687525152011-03-28T10:11:49.246-06:002011-03-28T10:11:49.246-06:00Try and find out the whereabouts your grandfather ...Try and find out the whereabouts your grandfather was born/lived/worked in Birmingham and I'll photograph it for you and get any info I can.<br />How exciting for you, discovering about your ancestors!!!mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962374096401238994noreply@blogger.com
