I have been doing my own, and my husband's, family genealogy for many years now, and in doing so we have found ourselves related to several 'famous' people. For instance, I descend from Robert the Bruce through my Poindexter...

MadameLaCouyan It almost seems like mental health issues were prevalent in all families...lol. That happens to be one of my favorite entries in the census! Funny how one little piece of data can be so helpful in building a medical pedigree. I gave a class on Genetics and...

MadameLaCouyan It really is amazing how many behaviors really were indicators for autism and we didn't know until later. My daughter as a baby never wanted to be held. She would just scream if you held her but if you put her down she was just fine. Right there is a behavior...

I use quite a few and here they are. Feel free to post the ones you use frequently. Hoping that this will help each of us with our research. Maybe we'll find something we didn't know about! 1. http://www.usgenweb.org - This is...

MadameLaCouyan The message boards can be really helpful. The ones at rootsweb.com/ancestry.com are pretty helpful as well. Not only are they great for tips and connecting with kin but I've found alot of data on there that people just post; everything from cemetery records to...

MadameLaCouyan Most of my Kitaro music I get on ebay or purchase from ITunes. The nice thing about getting it on ITunes is that it goes right with me in my IPod. Can love the music anywhere then!

In doing research I have two major pet peeves. 1. People who just vanish off the face of the earth...the kind that make you wonder if you descended from aliens or something. 2. United States Census Enumerators!! Only they could...

MadameLaCouyan The paysites are a real problem. At first the prices were reasonable but over the last two years the prices have skyrocketed out of control. I think that's one reason why alot of people offer to do lookups and work so hard to get information transcribed and...

A few years back my family had a wonderful standard dachsie from Germany named Nero. He was something else and was more human than dog. Towards the end of his long 17 year life, he came to live with me and my young family. And...

MadameLaCouyan Sounds alot like another dachshund we had. His name was Rusty and he would always lift up his right paw and tilt his head to the side when he wanted something. They really do know how to get our attention!

MadameLaCouyan Oh I hate that. That must have really been a major let down to find that mistake. I'm sure we've all run into similar situations and the back tracking is awful!

MadameLaCouyan Exactly! You've got to have good source documentation. I have no idea how many times I've had to help someone who just went by family legend or word of mouth as something factual that they were related to famous so and so. 9 times out of 10 those types of...

I lost an infant son about six and half years ago. At first the yearly anniversaries were difficult but then they became easier to bear. However, the last 2 years they have become harder yet again. My heart still is torn apart and...

MadameLaCouyan Definitely the anniversaries are the worst. That and certain milestones like kindergarten and such. Losing a child is something I would never wish on anyone. Thank you for your response and your words. It's nice to know I'm not alone. My condolences to you and...

MadameLaCouyan I've been also told that God will never give us more than we can handle. Though hard to swallow at times all the statements are true. I know that now, years later. At the time everything happened I couldn't realize that. If this was still a few years ago, I...

MadameLaCouyan It's so nice to know that there is someone that struggles with this grief just like I do. I thought there was something wrong with me, where it would come and go. It didn't make sense. And I never thought of writing to the person. I've written my own thoughts...
