I STARTED ON LINE GENEALOGY SEARCHING IN 1999. AFTER WE MOVED TO OUR HOME NEAR BUCKEYE LAKE IN OHIO. PRIOR TO THAT I ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS AT REUNIONS AND OTHER FAMILY GATHERINGS. IT WAS AFTER I WAS HOOKED ON THE INTERNET SEARCHING, THAT I REALLY STARTED BETTER DOCUMENTING MY FAMILY GENEALOGY. I STARTED AT OUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY AND GENEALOGY LIBRARY AND COURTHOUSE.
THE BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS IS ONE DAY WITH MY MOM WHEN WE VISITED A LIBRARY IN LICKING COUNTY OHIO AND FOUND A BOOK WITH HER MOTHERS NAME IN IT WHICK LEAD US TO LOCAL CEMETERIES. AT ONE ESPECIALLY SHE COMMENTED ON HAVE CHILLS. NOT KNOWING HER MOTHERS FAMILY, ONLY TO FIND OUT WE PASSED THAT CEMETERY ON A REGULAR BASIS. WHAT A GREAT SUMMER. THAT WAS THE SUMMER BEFORE SHE DIED. A FEW AFTER MY DAD DIED. THEN I STARTED ON MY FIRST HUSBANDS FAMILY GATHERING INFORMATION TO PASS ON TO MY DAUGHTERS. WHICH AS OF NOV 2004 AND JAN. 2005, WE HAVE TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS.
