Family Search
I read an article not long ago in Mormon Times. It was about Family Search on lds.org. It sounded so easy to get started. So I went there and I am having so much fun. I don't know if others consider the research fun, but it's not that hard. Granted, there are some things I just can't find. But I just go on to the next name. I'll go back to the hard ones when I've learned a little more. I've found family on census records which I hadn't found before. In some cases, I was able to make a copy of the actual census page. Luckily, my Great Aunt Vera wrote lots of information down which I use as a starting point. She typed her pages using carbon paper. She wrote on one page, "Don't throw this away". Don't worry, Aunt Vera, you work is useful and appreciated.

seems like a moment ago, I read this and you had notes about Lernon Spriggs too, how you found some info about his marriage and stuff, now I don't see it? where'd it go? Anyway, after watching the 'Who do you think you are?' series on Friday nights, I get on and look for stuff, too, I noticed that I found Lernon's name spelled a bunch of different ways also...still hunting though...takes a lot of time which I don't have, and I spent a lot of time, but didn't get much...
