I have only been tracing the family tree for about 4 years or so. My husband got me addicted to genealogy. As an avid gardener, I was always searching the internet and by this keyword I was able to find Rootsweb. Well, didn't we just meet up with on-line cousins galore!!
The internet is such a valuable resource.
