Time speeding by!

Still working on entering data into my Family Tree Maker program. I have so much some dating back to the 1600s or earlier. I keep finding more family members along the way, figure I might need the siblings too to track down documents, photos, etc.

I found some interesting info along the way and for now have access to Ancestry. com to look for more info as I go. I need full world access to get more documents, some of which I have found on other websites though. I have several local libraries that have the library version of Ancestry.com, which has some English and Canadian records. One library has a full genealogy department with a lot of old books from a lot of different state info and published genealogies or local histories. Nothing like stumbling across full family histories from a book about a local community.

Here is a link for Irish Genealogy help:

Google Books

If you haven't used google book search, you may be missing out on useful help with your research. I have used it for a couple of years and recently passed on this info to a distant cousin who didn't know about it. I had found some family info in a local history book and sent her the info along with the link for the book to download. Why buy a book, you might not even find elsewhere, when you can download it or just search by surname or location. It is easy and helpful. Happy hunting! :)
