Starting my search...

 

As I started my hunt for family history, I examined a variety of possible sources and ways to glean information.  There was no access to computers when I started, so it meant looking through old and current phone books, as well as looking for places to make appeals for more info.

One such appeal was printed in Everton's genealogical helper - v. 33, no. 3 May/Jun 1979. A copy of that ad is here. When it appeared I was still 18 years old, having just started my quest.
