Genealogy anyone?

[Whee]

Been using some of my "down time" to start working on the family tree. Have always wanted to verify certain family myths.

I am using Ancestry.com to compile info and create the tree. Only using the free portion now. I did find a very helpful look up site that essentially gives me the info I need (the info Ancestry.com would like payment for). Downside is I have to scroll through all the info, whereas Ancestry does that work for you.

I have made it back to two sets of 3rd Great Grandparents on my Dad's side and one 3rd Great Grandparent on my Mom's. My Mom is the the last of her family and my Dad's 2 older brothers are still living.

Also discovered that my Dad's side of the family has a proclivity for multiple marriages (I've been down that road twice.) so I come by it naturally.

Thought we could share sites and even names if we dicover any connections.

Surnames: Coffey Anders Hamilton LaPoint(e)

Sites I use:

Ancestry.com
http://www.ancestry.com/

FamilySearch.org
https://www.familysearch.org/

Online Death Indexes
http://www.deathindexes.com/

This last site has been great for finding family cemeteries, photos and filling in dates. YMMV

Anywho, thought it might give us another diversion here. Post up links and info if you choose.
