A Letter to Lloyd

(He has been a constant source of help, especially with photographs and new computer hardware,) 

Hi Lloyd,

Thank you for the new monitor, I am loving it.

Over the past couple of days I researched Dennis' ancestors, as you suggested. .

I built his family tree on www.familysearch.org which is the largest family history website that is entirely free. I have attached a pedigree fan chart that he can print and give to family members.. For more detail, I encourage him to sign up for a free account. This will allow him to see more family members, add family photos and stories, do further research, etc. As we get to know our ancestors, we usually appreciate them more and have a better understanding of our own place in history..

On Youtube there are many short videos showing how to use the site. (Search for familysearch.)

There is a free help number 1-866-406-1830 and I am always glad to help.

Lloyd, I encourage you to sign up for a free account at FamilySearch too. I have uploaded hundreds of old family photos. You will recognize many of them. I always suggest that people keep a copy of their username and password in their wallet. (Of course there is a recovery process, but it is simpler if you don't need to use it.)

Love.

Bill
