Still catching up on Randy’s Saturday Night Challenges.\u00a0 This one is from March 28<\/a> and goes a little something like this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identify one “elusive ancestor” family (perhaps one you just found, or one you’ve not found any information about), and the county\/state that they resided in. Tell us the family name and the county\/state.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to the FHL Catalog,<\/a> find the resources for that county\/state.<\/li>\n
  3. Identify at least three items from the FHL Catalog <\/a>that you need to look into in an effort to further your knowledge about that family’s history. Tell us about them.<\/li>\n
  4. Do you know where your nearest Family History Center is? If not, go here<\/a> and look for it. Tell us where it is.<\/li>\n
  5. Are you willing to make a commitment to go to the FHC and rent microfilms in order to pursue that elusive ancestral family? If so, tell us about your commitment.
    \nAnd later on, when you’ve reviewed the microfilms and information, you can tell us all about your research findings in a separate post.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \nIt was quite ironic that this challenge came when it did, as I had actually fulfilled most of it a month or so before.<\/p>\n

    Identify one “elusive ancestor” family (perhaps one you just found, or one you’ve not found any information about), and the county\/state that they resided in. Tell us the family name and the county\/state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I actually have many, but I’m working on identifying sources for my both sets of third great-grandparents on my dad’s side: Michael CAHILL and Anne HALE, and John MILLET and Mary RYAN.\u00a0 It is likely that they are all from Kilkenny County, Ireland.\u00a0 I do know that my CAHILL\/HALE resided in Thomastown, so my search begins there.\u00a0 I’m working on them at the same time, since the same resources are likely to help for all of them.<\/p>\n

    Go to the <\/strong>FHL Catalog,<\/strong><\/a> find the resources for that county\/state.\u00a0 Identify at least three items from the <\/strong>FHL Catalog <\/strong><\/a>that you need to look into in an effort to further your knowledge about that family’s history. Tell us about them.<\/strong><\/p>\n
