I wrote a few weeks ago about starting work on my family tree. Well, my mother mailed me a few existing family trees that have been put together by one of her aunts and I just finished entering them into the computer program I got for the project.
I currently have 382 people in the database. A few are just last (or first) names, and many are missing critical information like birth and death dates, locations, etc., but it's a solid start. I think my next step will be contacting other family members to fill in the blanks. I have a living great uncle who should be able to help out a lot and the great aunt who put these together about 17 years ago will also be a good resource. After that, I have to get down and dirty with online databases and mormons if I'm going to find more information on the distant family members.
NOTE: I know that some of my cousins occasionally read this page. If you happen to be related to me, go ahead and email me your info. The important stuff are birthdates, maiden names, dates of death for parents and grandparents, and any other info that you think is pertinent. Down the road I'm going to put out a call for any photos people have that would be good to include, especially older ones of earlier generations. So feel free to start scanning those and emailing them to me at glassertree AT gmail DOT com.
