Where I've been

Posting has been slow lately, since I moved home, started working full time (though at two different jobs, only one of them paid), and began dedicating all of my spare time to genealogy. For anyone interested in genealogy, and either uninterested in paying for services like Ancestry.com (though it's worth it, I promise) or interested in supplementing your paid online resources, make sure you're familiar with FamilySearch and especially the FamilySearch Record Search Pilot. I discovered that they've digitized the NYS census records for 1865 and 1892! They're not indexed, though, so now all my limited free time is spent paging through state census records to find relatives. Doesn't get much better than this!
