In 1974 I was stationed in Germany. My mother in Law was not familiar with her family, even a Grandfather. I too, had never met a Grandfather. Sharing a similar interest, Patricia Milburn and I started to work on her family tree. Back in the day, the only way to do this was to personally visit churches, graves stones and public records locations at county court houses and state archives. We wrote thousands of letters to various places looking for information. This was before the internet (the what?!) and the searchable records that people today probably take for granted. Almost 50 years now and I just started to work with Ancestry.com. I get more done now in one week than I was able to get done in a year. As great as this is there is a price. The information comes "Fast and Furious". Requiring organizational skills to stay focused and get results. I am that guy. I was the Present of the English speaking Genealogists in Fulda, Germany from 1986-1990, when we left for the United States. I will not accept money for my help, but will accept help for my help. This is my cell number call me. Good Hunting! Harold
