Montana Genealogy Research

If anyone is looking for ancestors in Montana, this is a good site for resources.  I am learning a lot about the state so i can be of help to anyone who needs help in this Facebook Research page.

Great news!!!!  I had done a lot of work on my adoptive family`s tree in Ancestry.com and invited my brother to see it.  He wasn`t very interested at the time.  I have been using Rootsmagic 5 and couldn`t get a file saved to send to him.  He had to have a genealogy program to open the gedcom.

Yesterday, I downloaded the now Family Tree Maker 2012 and played with it last night.

Well - this morning - my brother emailed me and said a lady from the area wants to know if he had anything past his grandfather, because she is related.

Lo and behold - my new program allows me to save a pdf Family group sheet for each person AND the tree view itself!!  I have traced them back on my father`s side to 1100.

: I was SOOOO excited to save and send all this to him.  Am still in the process, but he has a few already.

: He will be soooo surprised!

Response from my brother:

I am going to email (name of relative) today and give her some of the info you sent if I can figure out how, would you mind if I give her your email address, as she is working on the Daniels family tree, and you might be able to help her.

They, her and her cousin are going to have a small family reunion on Sat. Aug. 25 and invited us to go, so we will go if everything works out.

Thanks again for your trouble getting the info so quick for us!

Nothing to do with genealogy?  From my window - Alberta skies.  Just one of many beautiful sunsets.  Skies are so vast and changing.  They look down on generations and generations.  I know - I'm stretching here. :)  Just being reflective on a Sunday morning.  Have been reading Frank McCourt's  Teacher Man about how he came to America from Ireland and was teaching in the inner city schools of New York.  Known as a "tough little mick that isn't so tough," Mr. McCourt tells how he got away with not teaching the way administrations wanted and sometimes got praised for his efforts and sometimes got fired.

If any of you have stories such as this about your people who emmigrated to America and made their way in poverty and in riches, but don't consider yourselves "writers" and are timid about putting yourselves "out there,"  send me your (short) story and I will edit and publish them on this blog for you.  This will benefit both of us, because I think it will be interesting for my reading public and will give you a forum for your stories.  Please be assured, I will email you the final draft for your approval before I publish it.

Remember to keep it to blog  size and, if you can't, I will edit for you.
Send stories to nsharon2@telus.net

Have a wonderful day and happy writing! - and don't worry about spelling, grammar, or punctuation.  I will take care of all that.  I'm just excited to read your stories.

This is the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah

Just found this:  http://blog.familyhistorysearches.com/category/366-days-of-genealogy/

Since the 1940 US Census has come out, we are busier than ever on the phones, answering emails, answering questions from the Feedback tab on http://www.familysearch.org/, and doing Live Chats from the site.  Can things get any more exciting?  Well - yes they can.  And they will.  Always new things to try.  That blog site "366 days of genealogy" for example - lots of good stuff there to peruse.

Well - I'm gone for another little while helping people find their ancestors.
I wish you all success in your searches until we meet again here.
