Search Google!


Google.com is amazing for genealogy research!  I did a google search for my Loyd family in Arkansas and viewed a hit for the Ancestry.com message board for the surname "Loyd".  There was a conversation from a few years ago concerning my direct ancestors.  I emailed the poster and was pleasantly surprised to find that, first of all, the email address was still good, and secondly, that the owner of the email address was actually my Father's cousin.  We've been able to exchange information, and he's been generous enough to share with me some treasures...my Great Grandmother's pictures of the family! Pictures like this one of my Great Great Great Grandfather and Grandmother, David Loyd and Sarah Hartwick.  It has been amazing.  Thank you Google!  Don't overlook this tool for researching your family!
