I followed each ancestral line back to the original immigrant and then worked a lot on coming forward to the present day showing all descendants to each. I have over 100,000 folks in my database. I worked on it everyday for about ten years. My goal was placing the family files online is to make contact with living relatives who might help me to update my information, and just to "get to know" lost cousins. I have a homepage on the net that is full in additional information. I specialized in information on Wyandot and Seneca counties in Ohio. I am the Webmaster ("mistress") for the Wyandot County OhGenWeb site since 2001. I have over 60,000 photos of tombstones my hubby and I have taken, to document burial listings found in the counties and to preserve them due to vandalism, erosion and neglect. We have visited many counties in Ohio and other states as well see my list at: Kris' cemetery page Our vacations were planned around visiting cities in states where our ancestors or relatives once lived. Rarely did we drive past a cemetery without stopping in to look for familiar surnames on the tombstones! I was very lucky in that my husband also enjoyed working on our genealogy. We spent many hours in court houses and libraries doing research on our families. Now we have achieved all we wanted to do, and I have been working at a cemetery office as data entry technician. I am putting all their old records into their computer system from 1830's to present day. I have purchased all the books from the genealogy society's that I belong to, that contain information on my families, such as marriages, births, and census records transcribed. My husband is a Civil War buff and has four shelves of books on that subject alone! My hubby buys me a full membership to Ancestry.com each year. Hey, it keeps me home and busy! ha ha
So now I have switched to Rootsmagic software. It improves almost daily it seems. There are frequently "updates" to the software to download and install, with fabulous improvements. EMAIL CHANGE As of August 2023 my gmail account became FULL and just impossible to empty out, only 15 G of space. THUS I have changed to a Yahoo email address. They give ya 1 TB of free space! AND I have created MORE than one account there. One email address dedicated to genealogy only! so you can see/use that new email "historybox1951" to contact me.
