One More Generation, Please?

Hi there fellow genealogy seekers! If you have been doing this for a while, you have probably had the thrilling experience, like me, of finding the next generation back in your family tree. Such a rush, right? Genealogy nerd heaven! Especially after being "stuck" for a long time.

I keep finding a few more puzzle pieces here and there about this family, but have yet to make the jump back one more generation. I am encouraged that the puzzle is starting to look more like a picture and less like Swiss cheese, though. 

I've been busily looking at the Find A Grave website over the last few weeks in my spare time (hahaha). I'm excited about the amount of information I found, and so very grateful to the volunteers who visit the cemeteries and take pictures and do the documentation. In fact, I joined the website as a volunteer myself. Yep. I already got some requests for pictures in my area, too. And when the snow has melted and it is warm enough to walk around outside without freezing to death, I plan on fulfilling some of those requests. 

Have you found online resources that have helped with your research? I'd love to hear about your discoveries.

Happy Searching, Loraine
