Seems that a lot of retired folks take up genealogy. I have been at it a few years. My favorite program is up to v7, I started at v4 and this was not my 1st genealogy program.
Finding the right folks for your family is the biggest problem. Common names are difficult because there are basketsful of these people. Unusual names are difficult also, no one is hunting those people. One of my favorites was great grandpa McCoats. McCoats is not a name of any interest to Us genealogist. Some of the McCoats were more than likely shortened to Coats. But what happened to my Family is ols Sam McCoats came to the Us, married and proceded to father a housefull of girls. Not one son to carreyone the name. I know he had a sister but family legend said he had a brother who was a Doctor that the British hanged.
I'm still looking for www. britishhangings.com.
Oh well since I'm sorta semi retired I can keep hunting for these people.
