I have often found that other descendants have been the best source for genealogy treasures - friendships, photos, documents, data!

I have my genealogy on RootsMagic, printed out a descendant list and sat down to Facebook and started putting names into a search. <br /><br />Pat, I urge you to go for it! If you find someone with the name you're looking for, check out their "friends" and see if you find other familiar family names..and you probably have the right one. Now I'm getting birth dates, photos etc. Been striking it rich all day!Becky Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841947942442007031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792877004956236052.post-40159874357291783742010-01-30T16:20:41.595-07:002010-01-30T16:20:41.595-07:00Becky,

After reading such a great story with an even better outcome, I believe I am now inspired to make up a little list of cousins myself and see what kind of luck I might have.
