Some Genealogy Humor
I’d rather be looking for dead people than have them looking for me!
I’m searching for myself; Have you seen me?
If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help …
A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away.
I researched my family tree … and apparently I don’t exist!
As family historian, do you have friends and family ask you how to get started in family research? This is a hard question to answer in a few minutes. Refer them to the book below to help them get started in this fun hobby. Purchase several – Books make great gifts!

“This book was very informative and at a very modest price. One web site I may have missed in your book that has been very helpful to me is genealogybank.com. I found articles about several of my ancestors in their newspaper archives. Thank you for your great newsletter and this book.”
“The book was clear & concise, with excellent information for beginners. As an experienced genealogist, I enjoyed the chapter with lists of interview questions. I’d recommend this book to those who are just beginning to work on their genealogies. For more experienced genealogists, it provides a nice refresher.”

Why do so many links on this website (Alabama Pioneers) lead to a page that says they can’t find what I am looking for? Is this a problem for the webmaster or is it just a hook to get us searching on this website?
We sometimes pull a story offline to update or correct errors. That may be the reason. I’m sorry about the inconvenience.
Donna, I love this newsletter. I lost my Turner lineage between SC>GA>AL. Yes, I am hooked on genealogy fro sure, been working on it since i was young, and that was a long time ago. Sometimes the stories handed down from generation to generation gets twisted and more and more interesting, maybe on purpose. I have pictures of Turner brothers in AL. I find them in Census records in AL, but can’t find them or parents any where else. I scan the newsletter every day hoping to find a tidbit to go on. Keep up the good work.
