Family Trees

Do any of you research your family tree? Do you have online trees that you would like to share?

Genealogy has been a "hobby" of mine ever since my mother transferred the "disease" to me in the 1980s. I lived in Salt Lake City at the time and was able to spend some time in the LDS genealogy library searching for records. I purchased some software called Personal Ancestral File (PAF) and ran it on a Tandy 286 that had a 10 mg hard drive. From that beginning, we now have over 3,000 names in the current Family Treemaker file, along with a large collection of family pictures that we have scanned from family picture albums and boxes.

Recently I began putting our TREE online at Ancestry.com and call it The Crabtree - Gregory Connection. Feel free to visit it when you have some time.

I'm beginning a new sidebar item that I hope you will enjoy. It is called The Haigler Trees and will be a place to list the family trees of Haiglerites. So if you'd like to share yours, just send the link to me and I'll post it.

Have a great day!

    They are: www.ancestry.com support@ancestry.com
    LDS genealogy
    www.Gencircles
    U.S. Search
    Global Tree Search
    Ellis Island.com
    Roots web.com Dallas Adams

  2. I did not have any training in search, such as cemetaries, marrage licenses, death certificats, real estate property, birth certificates, court records etc, but some geneology people can find things immediately. I struggled as I waded through documents on the internet, but I found most things that was suited for me. Dallas Adams
