No internet!

Been without the internet for almost 5 days! Yikes, and when it was working it was slower than the worst dialup!
We have it back and they hook us up in a different area of the line, we have cable internet.

I hope you were able to use the free access at Ancestry.com to look up any family members that served in the U.S. military. Right now Footnote.com has free access to Holocaust records. My dad was in the service during WWII and he took a lot of photos and some are from the rescue of some people at the death camps. Such a terrible tragedy. The free search was suppose to be only for October, but they extended it until the end of the year. Who knows, anyone might have a family member that was connected to someone that died in those awful camps, or have family members that died or were rescued from them.
