Wandering The Internet Doing Genealogy Research

Do you every just wander around the Internet using Swag search to see what you may find. While writing my family history challenge I added the other night that my 5^th great grandmother Elizabeth had died in 1800 of Typhoid fever. So I decided to do a search to see if I could get a little background of this disease. Yuck is what I have to say. The symptoms are horrible and how you catch it is just as bad. Unsanitary conditions are all I will say. From there  From there I saw a link for diseases of the past 1800 to 1920. This was found on a site named Bella On LineA Site  For Women. There are some links that may interest you besides genealogy.

Then I read an article on the process of becoming a member of the Daughters of the Revolution. I know that I have more than one ancestor that found in the American Revolution but did not realize the work that has to be done to become a member should you wish to.  I am proud of my ancestor who fought in the Civil War and I am proud of my grandfathers who fought in the Revolutionary War.  I have thought of applying and may see if we have a local member in our area who can guide me. 

When I visited our local library recently I saw books on the Daughters of the American Revolution and the members family line. For a fee I can hook up with some one who comes from my same line.

Should I attempt to do this I will let you know how it is going or went.  Some may ask why bother but I am proud of my ancestors and their fight for our country.
