Hi SF   Hope you don't wear yourself out with that babysitting.  My sis babysat her 4 grandchildren for a morning and afternoon and she was plumb worn out.  And they are really, really good kids-just young and busy.

What have ya'll got planned for tonight?  After all, it IS Saturday night.    Some suggestions:  Go eat Tex-Mex or perhaps make something at home   Go clubbing? , or how about some karaoke?    A quick pick up game?    An evening at the opera    Whatever it is, hope it's fun.  I will be right here,    and maybe some

Hi everyone

Muffy 

I recall a member (can't remember who) being interested in Genealogy, thought I would share this link from BYU.

The LDS church is microfilming family history among other things from Libraries, at this site http://www.lib.byu.edu/fhc/ you can put in a surname and see if family history has been published.

See ya,

OS

Hi os    I don't recall either which member the interest in Genealogy either, but I remember discussion about it.  Very interesting.  Thank you for the link.  My younger sis has done a lot of research in that area for our family (she belongs to LDS) and I think some of DH's family has done research, but would be kewl to see it all put together. 

[MuffyBee]

Tornado has touched in near Columbus Ohio, that is where TES, Dihannah and Marlee are today!

I missed this post earlier.   I hope things went okay.  I looked at news and couldn't find anything about tornado damage.  There have been such bad storms there for the past couple of weeks.   I hope our Ohio area monkeys are safe.  Jerry from Ohio I hope you and your friend Jessie are alright.

The LDS church is in the process of microfilming & transcribing all records from all resources everywhere they are allowed, and it will be online for free. I have been researching for over 20 yrs. and have helped many in their research. It is very addicting and I enjoy the history, most of my ancestors arrived in the 1600's early 1700's. I have a database of over 15,000 names.

I work on it for awhile put it aside and go back to it. Always learning..Organizing is the most difficult when you accumulate so much info.

I have met so many great folks over the years.

Many schools now ask students to do a pedigree, everyone calls me lol. I am in the process of putting together a notebook of DH's family history.

Now with DNA, many families can be connected/proven.

Take care, miss our chats..Hope you are doing well.

[MuffyBee]

os I would like to do some researching of my family tree and that of my DH.  I miss our chats too.   Even though I've been posting along side many monkeys over the past 2 years, I got to know some of them so much better in the short time we had chat.   

[Auntiem]

   I miss Chat too, and I just got here!!!  But it really helps ya to meet people on an entirely different level!!

The LDS church has a free genealogy program here http://www.familysearch.org/, 1/2 way down on right, it's called PAF (Personal Ancestral File) you can download free and begin to enter your family history, that is what I use along with Root's Magic (not free), when you get stumped, google Rootsweb.com, or county, state you are looking for, most states have a genealogy website where you can find names, census records, cemetery listings, tax records, marriage and death records, these are free sites also. Ancestry.com is not free, costs about $300.00 per year, has lots of info. but I would use it as a last resort.

Court houses, Genealogical Societies and Libraries can't be beat if you have access. I joined my local library, access it online and have access to Heritage Quest (another great free resource-census records, family histories, revolutionary war records.

PAF is a stand alone program, nothing goes to LDS.

I agree about chat, it was fun meeting and getting to know some members in a private setting, didn't have to worry about being made fun of, have our words taken out of context or copied over the Internet. It was my first experience in a chat room (shooo can't let my kids or grand kids know I was in a chat room lol) and very enjoyable.

Well time for Nascar racing, talk to you later.

here are some cute doggie pix.
It's for a fundraiser ( good idea ) and I thought because we are animal lovers and some of us are animals ( you know who you are ! !  )
that you might enjoy these pix. Show the girly doggie to the boy doggies, see if you can tell who is HOT ! ! 
Woof Woof Woof ! !

I agree Muffy.  I wasn't in chat much but we did get to know each other a little better in chat.
