I am a firm believer in Family History. In fact before I moved I worked in a Family History Center at my Church for a couple of years. One of the sites I have always loved to work on is myheritage.com. I have always liked myheritage.com because it is easy to use and I can find fun and interesting facts about my ancestors. Plus it is free to download. Not only have I been able to find ancestors and some of their photos but I have also been able to find other members of my family that were searching for them as well. Members that I did not know I had until finding them on myheritage.com. There is one family member in particular that had much more genealogy done than I had. We were able to swap information and help each other out with missing dates and names. What a blast I have had finding diaries of past relatives as well as ship logs to tell me what ships they came to America on, or how about learning what their profession was or how many children they had and where they are buried. All this and more can be found at myheritage.com!
If there is something you are looking for, A Name, A picture, A Certificate of some kind, myheritage.com is a wonderful place to start!
