I am working with a group of early CA settlers and wagon trains. Many of the individuals that I looked at in these records were from the 1850's and this helps provide clues for those early settlers. Combining this, the 1852 CA census, and U. S. County Land Ownership Maps 1860-1918 has been very helpful. Thanks so much for this source.

Do you refer to the resting places of your parents, grandparents, etc., as creepy cemeteries? When someone in your family dies, do you regale absolute strangers in stories of the intimate details of what "took them out"? These people are all someone's family, and not "simple typed cards". Shame, shame, shame on you for your calloused and unemotional attempt to trivialize our history.

These people are all someone’s family, and not “simple typed cards”. Shame, shame, shame on you for your calloused and unemotional attempt to trivialize our history.

I've been on the site all day, working on three different family trees, without any problem, everything working perfectly. It could be due to a problem with your server being too busy.

I can log in to FB & Rootsweb, can access all other sites, just not Ancestry.com. Anyone else having this problem? It's not the "you're logged in at 2 different places" problem where they tell you to wait 30 minutes, it's connection timed out, problem loading page. Tried FF & IE8.
