I must also say that in the beginning before I got my first computer to use, I and my husband Frank, did a lot of leg work and a lot of knocking on doors. Seeing as my information is an on going genealogy, I also had to get in touch with family members and ask them to write down all their family information. Some also got their whole families information, for others, I had more leg work. I was very lucky that Frank knew a lot of these people and where they lived. When I received their information and typed it up, I returned to these people to have them check over and make sure that all the information was correct. Then when I was able to go on the internet and have email, that did make things a lot easier, but not everyone has computers. So, it was relying on the people that I did make contact with to get me the information. The following links were also used to verify quite a bit of the information, and to find new information that I didn't have. But, as I was told by many friends in genealogy clubs, that it is best to find as many sources as I could to verify the information that I did have. Here are some of the web sites that I found very useful.

Pd. Crowe, who has the 10. Whitmania.com web site, has also been a great help to me. I was lucky enough to make contact with her when I first started. My web site was a little different from hers and she gave me some good pointers. We were never in competition with each other, but have worked together and we have become friends. She is also very careful on verifying her information and has been a great mentor.
