…and find out my great grandmother had 6 children but all died in infancy.
My luck sucks.
…and find out my great grandmother had 6 children but all died in infancy.
My luck sucks.
All of them?
But then…
How did…
You just…
…is this one of those “time paradox” things?
Maybe you’d have better luck if you tried ancestry.com.
You think that’s bad, I found out my great-grandmother died a couple years before my grandfather was born. Poor guy had to grow up without a mother…
I didn’t want to get sued.
Yup, that’s it.
I found out my great-grandfather was born only five months after his parents’ marriage. How could that be possible?
No…it just means that commercial…irks…me.
All of those ancestry commercials irritate me but it’s probably envy. My family has only been in the country since the early 1900s - before that, they were all in Poland. I’m pretty sure there are no records from Poland on the website, and even if there were, I couldn’t read them. So screw you guys who can trace your family trees.
Why go to ancestry.com when you have familysearch.org with the same data for free?
My sister has got really good at reading handwritten parish registries from 18th and 19th century Quebec. It took a while though.
When a woman maintains her virginity until marriage, God sometimes rewards her with a shorter first pregnancy.
I learned I was dead.
You would not *believe *what I learned about my family on incestry.com!
Eve, you literally made me laugh aloud. I scared my poor cat!
A brief Google search turns up:
Poland GenWeb site on Rootsweb.com.
Links to other Polish genealogy sites.
Polish census records.
You’re descended from Egyptian royalty?
Not everything ancestry has is on family search. Family Search sends you to Ancestry for I think the 1930 census and it’s not free.
Hee-hee. I remember when I was doing research for a family tree project for one of my junior high school classes, using some genealogical documents my grandparents had, and discovered that two of my great-great-grandparents were first cousins. I was sitting at the table at my grandparents’ house, charting these trees out with my mother at my side, and I started to comment on that, only to be shushed by my mother. “Grandma doesn’t like to talk about that,” she said. :dubious:
Do you have any idea how hard it is to draw that on a family tree, by the way?
…me, too - most of my ancestors were from Quebec. It’s great that so many of the records were photographed in the 40’s so that we have the opportunity to read them on-line:)
They don’t have the same things. There’s a lot on familysearch that’s not on ancestry, and there’s a lot on ancestry that’s not on familysearch. And then there is some that they have in common. I use both; I keep two tabs open and go back and forth.
