Abe, OG is a God at tracking dead people or good at tracking dead people? 
I also don't know that well of what and where my ancestors are either. For that matter, all I know is that my father is Irish and for every year on St. Patty's Day -I drink to him, for hatred or for comfort I don't know.... but just remember.
Other than that in my blood, I'm a mixed Asian from my mother's side. It would be nice to know where my ancestors originated from.
Hmm... this might be a challenge for OG.

And I thought my family tree was a pain to trace. 100 cousins- wow.
Can't imagine having that many kids. You'd spend a good majority of your adult life pregnant.
Ieep.
I've got Irish on my mother's side and my fathers, but its only tracked on my father's. Grandmother there is the geneologist from heaven-only-knows-where. She's neurotic about it almost.

Im not a god. Im just really good. Ive located information on over 7000 people that i'm related to. Granted most of them are dead. my mother's mother's father's line I have traced back 34 generations to an individual born in about 940 A.D. I say about because that one is an esitmation based on marriage banns and wills. That line is English. easier like this:
me Oregon US
dad Oregon US mom Ohio US
dad's dad Nebraska US dad's mom Oregon US mom's dad California US moms mom Ohio US
dad's (paternal)granddad's line Ireland, dad's grandmom's line Denmark, dad's (maternal)grandad's line to North Carolina, dad's grandmom's line to Maryland.
moms (paternal) granddad's line Ireland, mom's grandmom's line to arkansas, Mom's(maternal)grandad's line to England, moms grandmom's line to Scotland.
In making the connection between myself and all these dead people I have met other researcher/relatives online and have exchanged data with them. That is the biggest bulk of all the people in my tree. Getting the direct line is fine (thats what i listed) but identifying all those cousins and such makes it alot more interesting because it helps fill out the picture of what thier lives were like and things like that is what keeps me searching. I was handed the line that goes back 34 generations but have verified most of the information provided. Thats the only reason i have it back that far. I have most the of other lines with the exception of 3. traced back to their country of origin because that was the easiest to do with the free information provided. I suspect the first Irish line listed is actually scotish in origin because of researching the events of the day, that Ireland was just a pause point for 1 or 2 generations. I just dont have the resources available to verify it either way. (have to pay for searching with no garuntee of results)
In order to do an adequate search with the free resources available you would need to know birth names and dates and places.(some if this can be found but its less work if its already known by family memebers) Marriage date and places help enormously. When one can identify the individuals in thier line back to the ones born before 1890) then the searching gets comparatively easier due to privacy laws and general information available to the public. Paternal lines are easier to trace than maternal due to name changes upon nupituals. It gets difficult agan (nearly impossible for maternal lines) before 1850 with out being able to go to that place and search the old records by hand. In 1850 US Census regulations changed to include the full names of all individuals within the household where previously only heads of house were listed and everyone else was just a number sorted by gender/age/freedom.
ok ive babbled on enough.

You and me both! I think mine is a cold, but I can be wrong. If I do have allergies, then I'm definitely EXCITED! This is a clear sign of Spring is here and I can't wait to take out my bike! ...And this will be my first allergy of my life. Yep.
Now, coming back to some sane reality. Welcome back! Glad to hear your computer have been enhanced by some good computer steroids to make it a monster. However, I doubt you can complete with OG's. She's got the whole enchalada! And hey if you're really nice... the donner Abe, will give you nice things as well. He's getting me the new Mustang GTR. *Yelps* *Gets Tumb to pet Abe*

Only kidding. But wouldn't it be nice if your local mailman brought things of such nature rather than bills!

Well two things came to mind, first was your white! Very very white, possibly a pasty pink. Secondly what came to mind was your mine. Then a fair ways down in the back of my mind a third think poped in as fallows. "Man it really has been a while since my last post here."

the great bit is how many funny looks you can get from people IRL if they see you petting someone.

heh...the funny look is the good part. I get more now for being able to eat a meal, read a book and listen to music at the same time, and still know what I'm doing.

Heh, if you ever come by NYC... visiting Queens College and going to the Psych class. You'll find a kid listening to music from his laptop loudly in his headphones, sleeping while nodding, and then the first person to ask questions or answer the professor. People look at him silly, trying to understand how did he understand the words of the professor when they can't even hear her from the music and over on top of that... paying attention.
This is why I'm not a Pre-med student. They didn't like the fact that I'm lazy, tho keeping up with the work-err... actually ace-ing all the tests but not doing the work. Fuck them! That didn't bother me much. What got to me was Mathematics. I have my own way and I get them right. When my professor had me change my ways of doing mathematics... that is when I started screwing up big time. Now I've been confused to crap. I slept through half of my SATs and still got a 710 in my math and these college moths have changed my mind to wha-errrr I forget where I'm getting at.
...Meh.
