AncestryLibrary

I am kind of excited for this one since I haven't done much family history and haven't used these sites. When searching myself I found my name, date of birth, parents names and also showed when I lived in Browns Valley, MN.  I thought that was pretty cool!! 

When searching for the grandparent I thought I might have a hard time since couldn't remember when my grandpa was born and forgot he had a middle name since had 2 first names lol.  But it came up with information which surprised me.  It showed his death information, my mom's birth information and her 2 youngest brothers birth information.  I was surprised it didn't show her older sister or her other brother. I think I might use this to do further checking on my ancestors...wonder if can find my grandfather's birth parents..who knows.

Wow when you put in South Dakota you get all kind of different things, famous baseball players, Library of Congress photos which are of different town in SD and WWI solider photos.  When you hover your cursor over the information it provides a more detailed information tab.  That is kinda cool.  This is an interesting site!

  1. Yes, Librarian Bri, you can find all kinds of things out about your family, but it's also great for historical research. Thanks for your comments!
