I enjoy finding ancestors too. I've been searching for 10 years and have lots of brick walls, but that doesn't stop me from chipping away.

I have been working on my family tree for a few years but my great grandparents came to the US from Czechoslovakia & Yugoslavia and I lost the trail there

I love looking at my family history to find out things like who we were and are related to. it is interesting. My Uncle though is the family tree guy though he is doing all sorts of research and doing all the leg work so we can enjoy the outcome of his hard work. we have several family history books but my uncle is wanting to look even farther than the information in them..we even have a family site he made up so we all can go and look at stuff and pictures and keep the family up to date on the things going on in our lives now. It's nice. Well good luck in digging up the info you need for finding your ancestors..

maybe, but i am not interested. I respect your idea. It is noval, but If someone does the work for me regarding this aspect, i'll show interest to learn about my ancestors, but I will not take the trouble. BEsides my family has been in Kakinada and Chirala since ages, my forefathers were very great and all, landlords, some are even kings......!!!!!

My mother is trying to do the family tree now. She is getting stuck on her mothers side. It amazes me how that generation never spoke (maybe this was just my family, I am not sure). I guess my grandmother has no idea what her grandmother or grandfathers names were. She also has no idea where her father was from. I tried to help her but it was like smacking my head against a wall. I would love to know more now than ever before. I guess it interests me when there is an obstacle to overcome.

I'm trying to find information on my mom's family, but the problem I run into is we think the fmaily changed names when they came to America from Ireland. So I'm not sure if the name I have is remotely close to what it should be.

The only thing I know that is on my mothers side we are; Irish, Cherokee Indian, Asian, and Africian. On my fathers side there is: Mandingo Africian tribe, Indian, and white. But, I don't know how to trace it at all. God Bless

I LOVE genealogy. In fact it is a sickness with me. It is amazing to see what traits are passed down from generation to generation. My family has a really strong Dutch heritage. My husbands family have been in the US for much longer. Both lineages offer something different in the hunt!!
