Although I'm middle-aged, I've been working with computers in one form or another since I was a teenager; I swim these seas, but those of us who were introduced later in life, or who don't have regular access (a computer in their home, connected to the internet), may struggle to stay afloat. For someone who's my age, or older, the mental gymnastics required to learn to use a computer well are sometimes (not always, but sometimes) more limiting than we realize.<br /><br />So, please, go easy on people who aren't in the know about things. We all must face obstacles in our genealogy paths, but we certainly don't deserve to be criticized for having trouble when we find the path steeper than we can manage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-57144444336884229402014-05-26T17:21:37.642-07:002014-05-26T17:21:37.642-07:00Do you first ask who has home internet access?

Remember the Nauvoo people.<br /><br />As for MyHeritage.com, for the U.S. it has little for before the 20th century, and pre-20th-century material is largely (or completely?) available elsewhere. Much depends on where a researcher is in her/his research.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
