I purchased the Rosetta Stone French Language package in December and I have been trying to learn French. I have been to Europe twice over the last year or so. My first trip was just France. My second trip was to England, France, Switzerland and Germany. They were both school trips with my son.
I have only been researching for about ten months. Luckily for me on my mother's side they were all around the Richmond, Indiana area for a few generations and they were all Quakers. The Quakers kept very good records and they were all fairly educated.
I am enjoying the blogging, I never thought it was something I would ever do. I have met wonderful people. I think I was always leery of putting any information on the internet. I just started using the social networks at about he same time as I started a blog.
You have a beautiful site. I grew up near Liberty, Indiana. After researching my wife's ancestry, I found that that her people once lived near Liberty before going to Texas. I noticed your mention of Piggott too. Were yours in the area of James City County Virginia? My wife had ancestors there
