Well thanks to Cindy I have joined (free trial) Ancestory.com and been having some fun on there the past 3 hours, then BRICK WALL and I am going cross eyed Googling etc.

I decided to find out about my Grandfathers side, and keep going directly to each one I am at my 5th Grandfather but cannot find when he was born his son was born in 1793 so I assume somewhere around 1775 would be the DOB..it is fun and very very addicting.

That is a lot of money. Going into business as a genealogical researcher for hire would be a useful & interesting source of income, in retirement for instance. I'm a member of the Northumberland & Durham Family History Society, and their magazine always has ads for researchers for hire.. if you can't fit in a week's holiday in the place where the records are housed, instructing a professional to look for you might be a good option.

As a librarian in an institution that has a lot of local & regional records, I often get emails from folks who want these kinds of lookups. Sometimes I do it for them for free, other times I refer them to our shortlist of local professionals.

I imagine that course at BU would be a good basis for setting up in business..
