But by reading your post from 2012, I discovered the FamilySearch.org website and joined immediately. I knew it was LDS affiliated but wasn't concerned by that because it's silly to worry about a website being "Mormon" and I also know the LDS Church has excellent genealogical info. I cannot believe the amount of information I've discovered between last night at 9pm and now, 24 hours later! I've found so many documents and records that other websites might have made me pay to see. And it hasn't been easy finding information on my family because they've only been in the US for a few generations and my family is Jewish of Lithuanian, Belarussian, and Russian (and sometimes Polish, depending on the year) descent so the spellings of their names can vary greatly or are sometimes Americanized. I want to thank you for writing this blog! I am truly, deeply, grateful that you take the time to put your insights and opinions online so that people like me can learn more about doing genealogical research. Thank you so much James Tanner! :)MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245582279476732154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-10866349950567652112014-05-06T02:04:53.053-07:002014-05-06T02:04:53.053-07:00What a funny experience, and all that from people ...What a funny experience, and all that from people who are interested enough in the field to attend a conference!
