These weren't people I knew personally from my own family, but very <i>distant</i> cousins I met online--and mainly I found them because I was posting everywhere in online message boards about the surnames I was researching. Besides, for the most part, the families came from a very tight-knit community which was fairly isolated from the rest of the state and eventually intermarried. It wasn't hard to find someone else researching this small rural county, mainly because of circumstances like these.<br /><br />You may never get your own family to take any interest in researching with you--but it is possible to find others who are working on the same surname, or the same geographic area who just might also turn out to be related to a third or fourth great grandparent.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-4986353755660694142017-10-27T21:49:56.378-07:002017-10-27T21:49:56.378-07:00Oh how I wish that I could find someone who would ...Oh how I wish that I could find someone who would research with me, but sadly no one seems interested :(Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.com
