Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi I didn't realize 'himself' was still looking for work. Does he not like his current job or is the pay not enough, or? I hope he finds the perfect job--quickly:)I did mention the genealogy sites. I use these the most:http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0https://www.familysearchlabs.org/http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gs & http://usgwtombstones.org/registry.htmlGood luck with your genealogy!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 When he was hired, it was with the understanding the job would go to fulltime; after the 1st week corporate informed the manager she could have no more full time employees - and so he's stuck in a 25-hour-a-week job (max!) until he finds something else, because if he quits he loses unemployment benefits.... He could fill in with hours at the fire dept (when his work schedule agrees) but alas, unemployment actually pays him more than either one! I figure he's been working continuously for more than 49 years, he's due some bennies from the gov-ment... He hates it, though, thinks he's taking " welfare " . Did a little bit of genealogy some time back, but it was in the days of ssssslllllllllllllooowwwww dialup so didn't get very far. Will be fun to add it to my list of Stuff To Mess With! :-D Downloaded a software called " Family Tree Builder " , guess if I don't like it I can score another. Now if I can only remember where I " put away " the stuff I had to begin with!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I used to be passionate about genealogy. I was able to track some of my family back to France as far back as 1575. I still love the subject but haven't had the time or energy to keep diving into the subject. I hope you find lots of " goodies " and " hidden treasures " through your research. www.geni.com is a really neat site because it matches your research with research done by others. This way you can " sync " each other's family trees. I just noticed though that they now have the " Pro " version – so I don't know what the difference is anymore but it might still be worth looking into. Happy hunting!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi That's too bad about the job not going to full time. I have heard of other people in pretty much the same situation lately, due to the recession. I haven't heard of that genealogy software. My cousin is sold on Family Tree Maker and sent me his last years software but I haven't spent much time working with it yet.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I forgot to mention Geni.com. I use Geni.com and love it!! I did a free trial of the "pro" but I didn't get any benefit from it myself so I didn't continue it. I've traced my ancestry back to my 6th great grandfather, the Count of Castille, who was born in 1678 in Spain. Genealogy is so addicting!Perhaps you will find time to work on your genealogy again soon, .hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
