Thanks $$ is such a pain for me right now (it probably is for everyone right now, eh? heheh). We had to let my Ancestry account go... wish I could have access to all those records and documents! Ah well. Someday. I'll make do with what I've got for the moment.

Right now, I'm trying to get my files organized. I was given photocopies of others' information... some of it accurate, some of it way off. It's been a pain to stay organized and sort through the pile.

I used to have Legacy and had a file started on it (including some of my husband's family information), but before I could make a backup, my laptop died on me! Several years later, my laptop is back, but the harddrive and files are not up and running yet. I'm having to start all over. I'm hoping to get things organized and start hitting the libraries in my area and seeing what I can find in them. Not to mention, contacting other genealogists who are already focusing on the same names/families.
