I was born on Jan.14,1944 in Jefferson Co,New York. I started working with my  genealogy about 50 years ago, and for the past 20 years I have worked almost every  day on it. When I had a family to raise I had a limited time to work on anything but  the everyday raising of a family. But I was hooked on it and by the time I became  older and disabled I had plenty of time. How do you know you are really hooked on  genealogy? When you get excited over someone else's family line not just your own.  The last few years with the help of a computer and the Internet I have really made  some progress in finding other people who are in my family tree. Having a web site  like this can help a lot. Genealogy will always be a work in progress you will make  mistakes as will others. So when someone tells you that you may have some of your  information wrong, don't get upset with them, you may have. That is why keeping a  record of your sources is so important. I had to learn that the hard way. I started  my search, after questioning older family members, in the library so when one day  I was asked where I had found a certain date I could only answer from a  book in the library. That is not a good answer. I also think that genealogy (the  names,dates & etc.) go hand in hand with family history which are your family  stories,diaries,scrapbooks and etc. Even adding a description of the person and  personality traits are nice to read about. Feel free to contact me and send me  anything you want to add even corrections. And if you can tie in your family line  send it to me and I will be glad to add it here. The more information we share the  more will be remembered. This is not just for my future generations to have a family  record but for your family to have a record of ,too.
  ***If you have a death date from a tombstone that has the person's age in years; days & months  below you will see a link to a page that will calculate the birthdate for you...
