<div>I have been meaning to plan some in person research trips one day but i have always kept that idea on the back burner because i wouldnt want to waste a trip and not be prepared. Once I get there I will need to know where to look for information and what kinds of resources I should look at to make the most effective use of the trip. Does anyone have any tips or advice about stuff like this?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Hey gang - My friend Matty in San Francisco is building a new <br/>business and would love to get some input from fellow family <br/>genealogists, as they would be the prime movers and shakers on <br/>his new site! If you are located in San Francisco and would like to <br/>participate in focus groups, user testing, etc., please read on and <br/>feel free to drop Matty a line if you're interested: <br/> <br/>Dear Genealogy folks, <br/> <br/>My name is Matty Sallin and I am developing a new kind of online <br/>genealogy application with a new way to build and surf through your <br/>family tree. However, my background is web/interaction design and <br/>information visualization, not genealogy, so I want to involve <br/>genealogy folks in the design of the service, which is free for all <br/>users. I would love to show you what I'm developing and get your <br/>feedback. Your input will directly impact this application, which is <br/>slated to launch this Spring as an Alpha and a Beta to come later on <br/>this Summer. <br/> <br/>Best, <br/> Matty <br/> <br/>email: matty@mathlete.com</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I have been doing my family's genealogy for many years now. I started when I was 14 (a smart move I now know.) <br/>And now.. now almost everyone is dead. I have one uncle, one brother, 4 cousins, and the youngest of the bunch is 40. So no descendents. <br/>The data I collect would only be of interest to an anthropologist. if that. <br/> <br/>And now as of July 21st, I am an orphan. The last direct ascendent is now gone. <br/> <br/>So much for my interest in genealogy.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>I just joined this tribe and am happy to be amoungst people who are into this too. <br/>I'm still trying to prove our Mayflower connection through the Cook and Hopkins lines. <br/>A few other family names are Bergot, Manning, Irwin, Plaine. <br/>Any possible connections out there?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Hi! I am new here and am glad to be in the compny of people with this same interest who have found a way to find the answers. I am dealing with two distinct problems. One is that I have only recently found out I am half Hawaiian (I do not have the coloring etc.) and there is very little information out there about so much of it. The other problem is that my mother's side of the family is extremely secretive. It is like they are hiding something. Those who have been working on this project on their own and separate from me are very closed mouth about it all. They do not share information. So apparently we are all looking for the same answers and are all in various stages of finding them but each of us is starting with nothing (are nearly nothing) and for me this is hard to do as I can not leave my home to get answers. So I feel like my hands are tied. Also those most of my previous generations are gone now (when they were still here they would not talk about it with me) and they left little to no clues to their pasts.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 17 replies </div>

<div>You guys ( and gals) are surely the ones to know the answer to this question. My kids are my first cousin's-----------? Are they her first cousins, once removed, or are they her second cousins? How does that go? Thanks, in advance, for I'm confident you'll give me my answer.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>So, much like has happened to many people, I started with a flurry of data collection and compilation that was a little short on keeping proper track of my citations. I now hesitate to continue to maintain the lump of data I've got now, but at the same time, don't want to start from scratch and abandon my existing work. <br/> <br/>I'm currently using Ancestry.com's software as my primary data store. Does anyone have any advice for me on how I can turn over a new, better-cited leaf?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 12 replies </div>

<div>Hi, Im new to this tribe, but not new to genealogical research. I've got my tree on the wall behind my computer... <br/> <br/>I spend a lot of time thinking about my ancestors. I now know what a lot of them went through and have some details. And in someways it makes me feel sort of melancholy for the loss of history and details. The fact that life comes and goes and is soon forgotten. Does anyone else feel this way? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Hello to everyone! I am as amateur as you can get! I know the names of my grandparents, with a couple of questions thrown in regarding Hardy and Carter...dad told me that they were really "O"Hardy and "Mac"Carter. I know the names of three of my great grandparents. Is that a good start? I hope I will find encouragement and advice here, as well as make some new friends. At going on 56, I am planning on going back to college soon to become a historian and I would like to "minor" in genealogy, if that's possible. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>Hi. LuAnn here from rural Kentucky. We moved up last summer from Texas. DH's family on both sides go back generations in the county. <br/> <br/>Family names: Braley, Smith, Whitt, Brown, Buol, Kuhnhold ... those are the ones I know at any rate. <br/> <br/>Used to live in SLC and had access to all LDS Church's genealogical records at the Family History library. Yes, I was spoiled. :) Glad to see genealogy sections in public libraries now.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amateurgenealogy.tribe.net">Amateur Genealogy</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Has anyone ever been to one of the Family History Centers run by FamilySearch.org and the Church of Latter Day Saints? I've always been interested in checking it out, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with doing research there that they'd like to share.
