on many searched there is a box for 'keyword'. What would be an example of keyword

When doing genealogy research the most common 'keyword' for me is always the surname. If searching in the surname forum or archives of a surname mail list, I use the location county or city or given names. I hope this answers your question.

I agree with TNMarge. When your genealogy becomes more complex you will see needs, at times, to search for some other items.

I'm in Wisconsin and it is 50 here and sunny today. Supposed to be a sunny and warm weekend!

I am doing a report on wworld war II veterans and would like to interview someone who participated in world war II or lived through the Great depression.

You didn't leave an email address -- so how would someone contact you?

It was a beautiful day here in North Central Utah. It was about 65º here today. Are you anywhere near Green Bay or Brown County, WI? Just curious as my maternal great grandfather died there and is buried in one of the cemeteries there. He was a Finnish immigrant. He came here in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

OK -- so much for my public service announcement. G'night all. Julie -- sorry I missed you.

If anyone happens to run across any AL HEEDLEY/HEADLEY/HUDLEYS please let me know. I am stuck at the proverbial brick wall with my great grandfather, James Marion HEEDLEY (or other spelling variations). His parents were supposedly James Wesley HEEDLEY and Vicie BYNUM, but I have been unable to document that. Would be nice to know where the family was before they moved to AL. If anyone has any information that would allow me to document my great grandfather's parentage, I would greatly appreciate receiving that information. My email address is bdorsett801@msn.com Thanks.

That is supposed to be a searchable site online. I will check it out and see what I find.
