I have written about family research several times but I'm always finding new information about not only my family but others in this area. I got interested in my ancestors at a early age. I remember talking to several family members about my family. I first started taking notes with a regular school notebook and pencil back in the 1970's, when I would talk to the older people in the family.
One of the best sources of information back then was libraries, where you could look up old records. A older family member who was also very interested in family research told me to get a tape recorder...
