I really do, Tim. Have been working on many lines on both sides of mine, and his for about 30 some years now. It's great fun, and I learn so much about history, counties, states, and all sorts of other things along the way. And internet is so terrific, because now, after we gather the letters, pictures, diaries, and other family info, now we can not only try to find other related lines of ours, but we can see maps, and town histories, all at the flick of our fingers. For instance, the other night, I was working on two Swiss lines of his, and pulled up several maps, one of which was terrific. Moving the mouse actually got me a birds' eye view of where the villages were and how far they were from each other. Two lines of his family had been in or near their villages since the 1500's, before the "explorer" of each line, came to the US. In both cases, they came in the 1880's or so....
