So tonight I got to looking up my family history. The problem is, all of those sites that let you do it will let you have a free trial, but you need addresses and phone numbers and credit card numbers and they will automatically start billing you unless you cancel within time. Not fair. The worst part is, they let you have a preview of their results. From ancestry.com, I got close to finding out about my history, but just stopped.
They have images of everything. I can find pictures of birth and wedding and death records and all sorts of things like that. Laney
Augustas Pace was registered for the draft in WWI somewhere in Georgia, while a Laney Augustus Pace (notice the one letter difference) was married in Leon County some time after 1927 to an Ivy D. What a coincidence! My great-grandfather (through my paternal grandfather) was named Laney, and my great-grandmother was named Ivy! Only other thing I could find was that he died in 1979. That means my dad would've known him.
There are also a lot of people with my name. One of the ones that showed up most lives in Baton Rouge. Ironic, no?
