Family History

I decided to start this blog to share information that I come across in searching for my husband's and my ancestors. I find this an exciting time to leave and research family history. We can work in our pj's and can communicate with people around the world in seconds. It sure beats snail mail. More and more information is available everyday. For those who would like to participate in indexing images for the LDS church can register at http://www.familysearchindexing.org/. This work will help to index the images on historical documents. Previously indexed information is available at http://www.pilot.familysearch.org/.

I have been conducting family research for 35 years so I have seen a lot of changes in this type of work. I am researching the following surnames (a few of many): Simpson (AR), Shettles (SC & MS), Ekrut (TX), Harrington (UT), Bradshaw (NC, MO & AR), Key (TX, OK, OR & WA), Bryant (TX & CA), Gambrell (SC, TX & MS), Fryar (OK & NM), Mounce (MS), Shelton (MO , OK & AR), Schmidt (MA), Pierce (AR & NC) and Frommer (MA).
