[QUOTE="scott9050, post: 16079194, member: 11032"] I did Ancestry thinking at first I would not find much, but part of the power of it is other people with the same relatives that offer things such as photographs, documents and stories when they do their family tree and have a common ancestor. Google searches of relatives found will also turn up information. I found photos of ancestors that fought in the Civil war and found I had multiple relatives on my fathers side that fought in the civil war. I also found out that many of the places I have lived, I had a relative that had been there before. For example, I lived in Manassas Virginia, then Strasburg Va then bought a house in the West Virginia panhandle. My Great Great Grandfather who was in the 16th North Carolina regiment fought in 2nd Manassas under Stonewall Jackson, traveled through Strasburg and was camped for 2 months a stones throw from where I now live. My 7 times great grandfather I found out is buried in Manassas, Va and I visited his grave. I found out that I had multiple relatives that fought in the Revolutionary war and have found pension document accounts for revolutionary war relatives and the Civil war relatives. Earliest of my dads side came to Jamestown in 1621, one of them founded the earliest Episcopal Church in Delaware in 1689. If you have time for it, it can be a great experience. [/QUOTE]
