    Obssesed with finding my Ancestors

    Friday, September 19, 2008, 11:20 AM [General]

    Well first off this is the coolest site since facebook. thanks

    I have been researching my family History for about a year now. I started by accident when i came across the ancestry.com site and started to fill in what i knew. One thing lead to another and next thing i knew i was calling relatives that i havent talked to in years.

    It has been such a pleasure to work with so many people online that want to help you out in your quest. i have joined so many message boards and websites that are aimed at helping you find hard to find things.

    here are some of my surnames that i am researching

    Russia: Lachterman -changed to Lichterman in the US then some Ancestors changed it to Light.

    Romania: Neuman, changed later on in the US to Newman

    Denmark: Samuelsen

    Your ancestors who changed surname to "Light:" Did any settle in Maine?



    A lot of Russia/Prussia/German immigrants of late 1700 to early 1800 came especially to Lincoln County Maine.
