. I began my genealogy project in 1988. In the early 1990’s I switched to the Family Origins software, and then to RootsMagic. I am working on a wide-ranging set of interests, including a “surname project” for both of my parents, and pushing most family lines in my database as far back in history as I can.
. I have been an Ancestry member since the mid-1990’s, and also access other online data repositories. I have traveled the continental US visiting local and state libraries, university libraries, and cemeteries.
. As of Oct 2021, my RM7 database has over 440,000 records, with over 2,500,000 citations and over 33,000 linked media items (over 330,000 links). I use a Win10 computer with 32 GB Ram and a 1 TB SSD.
