A couple of suggestions: One - read <a href="http://rootsandrambles.blogspot.com/2012/05/just-hint-of-smile.html" rel="nofollow">Just a Hint of a Smile</a> at Marion's Roots and Rambles, which has some good suggestions.<br /><br />Also, do you have any old photographs? I've found that having a family member look at old photographs can trigger memories and then you can go from there.<br /><br />I blogged about the strategy of looking at online resources while talking with my mother-in-law on the phone. See <a href="http://jewishgenealogyjourney.blogspot.com/2011/10/tuesdays-tip-another-interview-strategy.html" rel="nofollow">Tuesday's Tip-Another Interview Strategy</a>.<br /><br />Good luck and I look forward to reading about what you find out.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2943451325073701795.post-88592155906795646302012-03-14T20:57:36.709-07:002012-03-14T20:57:36.709-07:00Ok, Jenny, you caught me., We aren't always sa...Ok, Jenny, you caught me., We aren't always sad and pathetic, but when we are underutilized, we get a bit weepy and eat more doughnuts than we probably should.

I have found them to be great folks, and as you point out, have never, ever felt that I was on the receiving end of a forced conversion! I admit to under-utilizing consultant services myself, but do appreciate you and the entire LDS. Such a fantastic service to genealogists everywhere!

When I'm looking and find the stone I'm looking for, I sometimes feel that there was something pulling me in the right direction.<br /><br />Find A Grave is so rewarding - when you can post a picture that really helps someone out!

I've enjoyed your posts so far. I was also inspired to start a(nother) family history blog after Rootstech this year. I have one already for a Maine branch of our family that is quite sad and neglected at the moment, but it's amazing the connections we've made with other relatives just by putting something out there on the internet. I'm hoping the same thing will happen with this new one. <br /><br />Kristiana<br />(I can't seem to leave a comment with my fh blog, it's http://halifaxsilvers.wordpress.com)Cellistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07380195236349564063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2943451325073701795.post-8858433455721354402012-02-19T08:20:32.424-08:002012-02-19T08:20:32.424-08:00Thanks Helen!

We had no idea that the family blamed her for his death until recently. It is still a mystery as to what happened to him. And they dont seem to want to help with that at all.

We seem to have come to a standstill on many of his family, which is interesting since it was just over 100 years ago that he disappeared.
