Hi Eric and welcome to the fabulous world of Genealogy!  The bug bit me many years ago and hasn't let up yet.  [25+ years]

My blog is entitled "Rebel Without A Pause Designs" http://rebelwithoutapausedesigns.blogspot.com/  which is only a bit misleading.  I am a digital scrapbook designer whos main focus is on heritage scrapping.  I also list a lot of the surnames that I am researching.  The main focus of family lines start in Virginia and migrate South [with many stop off's along the way] and then many moved West.

I love cemetery stompin' and will usually photograph the entire cemetery so as not to miss anyone.  It's also fun and helpful to take the "kids" along.

If you are interested in preserving your results in book form, there is a website that will take you step by step thru the process and a new session will be beginning in September [and it's FREE!].  The site is  http://heritagescrap.com/ and you can find the info in the forums under "Life Books".

Thanks Lisa, I've been by your site, but need to spend some time digging through the archives.  I'll definitely check out the heritagescrap.com. 

I plan on eventually writing a series of books on my family history.  I'm going to find a way to make it entertaining, and have the genealogical technical reports also.  I know quite a challenge.
