Im new to this, but I like learning more about my family. I know I have a good understanding of where my family came from, but its always good to see if theres others out there that come from my family bloodline. My family can be researched at Smokykin.com My grandfather x6 has a major town in East Tennessee named after him, Morristown. You can find that info also at Wikipedia.com by looking up the town.

Hello...my name is Amy Nichols and I'm currently enrolled in the Social Media for the Genealogist. One of the assignments is to leave a post introducing myself and I am now doing so. I have been working on my family history for many years, but have recently taken the research to a higher level and am enjoying the new insights it has given me.

What kind of Higher Levels?

Social Media for the Genealogists sounds interesting. Is it a college course?

Hi I've just joined this group and am from Nova Scotia Canada. I am addicted like everyone else to finding out all I can about my ancestors but am relatively new to this passtime. My father is English (Pound) and French (Arsenault); my Mother is adopted. Her birth Mother is Irish (McLaughlin) and her adoptive parents are Acadian - DeViller and Clairmont. I have found a lot of info on my Mother's adoptive family but nothing on her birth family. My Dad's lines I have had a fair amount of luck with too. If anyone is connected to these families I would love to hear from you and if you are a McLaughlin and your family immigrated at one point to St. John, New Brunswick Canada (where my Mom was born and placed into an orphanage) I would REALLY love to hear from you.
thanks

I'm from Central Victoria Australia. Have been researching my family history for about 10 years. I started with my interest in the family history when I wanted to know more about my fathers family. He knew nothing about them as he was orphaned when he was 5. I've discovered that I have about 50 1st cousins that I never knew about. And have since met many, many, more distant cousins through the research on all branches of the family.
. My main focus currently is my Taylor family, from Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, arrived in Australia in 1842. I'm struggling a bit with them, but hopefully will knock down some brick walls soon.

Hello I'm Kathleen Newberry, Born in Lambeth London England, but raised in Huntingdon Cambs England, I met and married my Hubby in England where he was stationed in the Air Force and the he got tranfered back to the States, So I have been here 28 years. We have 8 kids and 6 grandkids.
I got started in Family History when my SIL showed me her family history and I've been hooked ever since.
I am from the Killgallon family from London (I have gotten as far back as Ireland).
So I'm looking into my Killgallon, Knight's, Ralph, and Riches's families.
But I'm having trouble with my Granddad Charles Ralph, I think I have found him but until I can get a BC I won't really know for sure.

I've started a genealogy blog. You may wish to check it out.
My paternal ancestors came to Massachusetts in 1620 and here I am, still here. They are from Bridgewater, Middleboro, and of course, Plymouth. My roots certainly run deep and seem to hold me here.
A remarkable history unfolded with my maternal 3rd great-grandparents who sailed from Baden, Germany in 1857. Their first home in America was in Potosi, Wisconsin. Their grandson and my great grandfather ventured to Eau Gallie, Florida.
Finding one's ancestry is a journey of love and fascination. I say is, not was, because the search never ends, as one is always looking for another link, pursuing another story. Each ancestor uncovered feels as if one has found a piece of gold; excitement heightens and you never want the journey to end.

Hi, I'm Judith and so far I'm no impressed with this site. I cannot imagine it being useful for genealogy discussions, but am prepared to be proved wrong.
I've been doing family history for about six years and have done quite well in that time, but would like to achieve more. In my personal tree is a Cowan for whom I have no source in Ireland, and for my husband's tree there's a British Home Child, both of which represent Brick Walls. Still, if we didn't have those to slow us down and get creative, would this be as much fun?
Genealogy is only of my passions, and it's not the only one keeping me up late at night!

Judith, have you tried familysearch.org and new.familysearch.org
The LDS church is putting records on them all the time
