Cassandra K asked: I am a 5th generation American. A grandfather of mine, Samual Crawford, sailed to America in the late 1700’s with about 35 other Crawfords on a ship called the “Napier.” I am not sure how to go about it, but I would LOVE to find and contact some realitivies that I have in Ireland. I don’t know how to go about finding them though. Anyone from Ireland have any suggestions? I may be able to find out what town he was from, but not quite sure. I also have most of the names of all the other Crawfords that were on the ship with him.
Thank you in advance!
God Bless!!

delux_version asked: I’ve hit a road block. Aside from traveling 1500 miles to the locaton I’m stuck at what’s the best way to locate ansestors prior to coming to America? Or really any of your best experiences where you were stuck and had an epiphiny, that got you unstuck. Please keep advice to low $’s, if I spend anymore cash my wife will turn me into an ansestor!

me asked: What would be the best place to find someone if I only know their first name- and it may even be a nickname- and their previous last name. I am trying to research it.

Nicole asked: I am trying to research my family and I came upon my great great grandmother’s name in a handmade birth listing in an old family bible. It was great because it had her arrival date to America and name of the ship. I looked it up but she was not there. Now I am stuck. The writer of the book got it from her mother who has already passed.

Gypsy Girl asked: I am wondering if there are any genealogy sites that are collecting info from probate records that I could donate to. Since I will be searching the records anyway, perhaps my time could be useful to other people as well.

Jo asked: I know that we can submit our family tree to ancestry.com and others, but I would like to set up a website for the vast amount of information that I have collected. I would also like to provide a link from other sites. I have tons of vital records, photographs, census pages, obituaries, funeral programs, etc. I would like to set it up so that others can visit and view the documents and photos.
