Hi, Mark here... I thought others might be interested in sharing tips, ideas and general banter about genealogy, especially families in Canada! I have been researching my family (Law's) for many years. How is your search going?

Not bad. I've been using familysearch.org for an online tree (so that distant relatives can find us) and gramps for a local tree (so that I have a tree that strangers can't edit behind my back). I live in Ireland and so it's handy to have all the records online for free, but I'm still waiting for the parish records to actually get indexed, because scanning the images myself is a nightmare of scrawling chickenscratch. I've only managed to get back to the early 19th century, though.
