2015 Spring: I began a free Family Search.org family tree. It is amazing the billions of online records that one can piece together to create a family’s history and story. The United States Census records were my favorite for a time. Now I like the 1000+ page books that list genealogies and life details for whole lines of families. About 25 years ago I would have needed plane tickets, hotel reservations and a great sense of direction to access these huge resource books. Now I just need the internet and massive amounts of time. Many genealogy books are in the public domain @Archive.org or HathiTrust, many are on Ancestry.com . Daunting but doable: I’m replacing Ance$try.com sources with free sources. It’s a little annoying to be an unpaid member of ancestry and not be able to view the records I’ve studied, renamed and saved. I understand access to records is their profit, why would they offer these records freely? but still an annoyance....
