Intro
Welcome! #Genealogy is a friendly channel where genealogists can meet, chat, discuss research, offer advice and receive help on genealogy-related topics. This channel was started by Pooka in 2004. She has an incredible number of internet genealogy resources (all free!) to offer visitors, and she loves to share! Molly has been studying for a private investigator's license, and has a variety of unusual techniques that she can apply to genealogy (and loves to help people).
If you're a genealogist, please join us, introduce yourself, and make yourself comfortable!
