Thank you for the info. Did not spend too much time at each site today, rather just looked to see what was available.

I was unable to view the 2nd of the Free Articles, "At Your Service", as the page indicated it was for Plus Members only. Also, unable to access Birth Info in WWI Civilian Draft Registrations under "Military Records Toolkit" as the... Read More page indicated AOL no longer hosts hometown web pages. Could not get the sources2go link to work.

I really enjoyed browsing around the Valley Forge website.

Here in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania they are closing several local libraries. what are the children supposed to do? The closest ones to them will be entirely to far for the younger kids to get to! Everyone doesn't have a car. I really hope the funding can be found.

Starting genealogy has been frustrating and fun. I have been reading family tree magazine for years, but had never started. All because my cousin wanted the younger people in the family to know their roots. I AM NOW CONSUMED. Being a shy person, it's hard for me. although it is bringing me out my shell and I'm communicating with more of the people in my family. So thanks Family Tree Magazine
