Thank you everyone, this is a much nicer group than Facebook Ancestry and some other groups.
I have been doing genealogy for close to 5 years, due to medical reasons I couldn't do any work for 16 months and sometimes I am just hurting too much to do anything at all. However, I was shown recently had to do a family file and i realize how important it is to learn this program. Also, I am so forgetful these days, I ask the same questions two, three times. I do indeed have a small family. People are amazed that has 2nd generation Sicilian-American and 3rd generation Italian-American, I only have 3 first cousins. On my Mom's side they have RH Negative blood which had no cure until @1970. My Dad's parents were born in the late 1800's and his two brothers had no children. Italian records only go back to 1820. I do a lot of my research at the Family History Center, although those records are copied at the Capitol at each province, I know from a trip to Sicily that these records do not always have all those lovely notes on birth records, like when the person died, married etc. I am currently focusing more on my Dad's grandmother, there are just so many people with the same name as her parents in their Sicilian town. So I am always searching for people from the provinces of Enna/Caltanissetta in Sicily and Avellino and Naples in Italy :) M On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 5:44 PM, Jenny M Benson <ge...@cedarbank.me.uk> wrote: > On 12/08/2012 20:33, Tim Rosenlof wrote: >>> I keep a spreadsheet to keep track of whether or not I have found Birth, >>> >Baptism, Marriage, Death, Burial and Census records (where appropriate) >>> >for everyone in my database and use the RIN to jump to each person in >>> >turn in my file. >> Jenny, >> >> Do you have a separate spreadsheet for each individual ?
