I could not have done my research without Ancestry. I was always interested in my heritage so last year I decided to join Ancestry.com to do research and gather the facts so I could make a book on our family that I can give as gifts for Christmas next year.
I didn't realize what I was in for and the amount of information which is available. I was able to track my ancestors back over 200 years to Europe and England. I got a lot of interesting photos and stories as well not only from the records they have online (including the military ones) but from 2 other users of Ancestry who share some of the same relatives. It's really neat how you can share your family trees and instantly expand your own.
I have almost all of the research done now that I want (you could keep finding out stuff forever if you want) and plan to start organizing it in a format so it will be enjoyable to be read by the family.
