Place specific websites! What a wonderful blessing it is to have free websites that give a historical view and account of where your ancestors came from! It helps in research to know and understand the historical context of where your ancestors lived for research purposes and to help you understand their lives and their decisions! Photographs on these websites are a terrific bonus! The Potteries

Indexing and Indexers! Saves me time and research! Allows researchers searchable access to records! Allows researchers to look for a "needle in a haystack" type searches!* Allows individuals "to do" family history without researching! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! *"needle in a haystack" searches include surname searches only, given name only searches, family member given names only searches, no name--only birth year and place searches and wildcard searches!

Volunteers at Findagrave.com! Love them! They all deserve chocolate and flowers! Anyone who has searched a cemetery looking for a headstone knows the ground is bumpy, lumpy, and very uneven. And especially in Wyoming, anytime you visit the cemetery the weather usually isn't cooperating! So, THANK YOU findagrave.com for allowing us to search for FREE a cemetery in our pajamas from the comfort of our own home!

Computers! Just ponder how computers have changed, evolved, and advanced the work in family history. From email to Facebook. From websites to blogs. From online indexes to digital images. Computers have furthered the work at an amazing pace. Just imagine what research will look like in 10 years from now!
