Ancestry.com is a starting place if you're serious. It's not perfect, my grandfather Baker died 57 years ago, according to them he's still alive. When the 1940 census was released and was available on line I started looking up ancestors that I knew where they were in 1940, or so I thought. Started looking for a Dominic or Dominico Carani in Highwood Illinios, found 4. none of them were the right one. I finally found a Euphmie Carani, my Great Grandmother, my Dad's Uncle Lucien was the one that answered the questions that's when I found out Dad was wrong Great Grandpa Carani died in 1938 not 1948, and thstat Great Grandma was not Canadian but was born in Maine. Went looking for some of the wife's kin, searching for a Peter B Dick in Mountain Lake Minnesota, again found 3 or 4 that weren't the right one and one of them even had a wife named Marguerite. I finally found one with the right spousal name that was an implement dealer. A Great Grandfather on my Mother's side of the family told us we're descended from a man named Lt Job Winslow, I've found a few with dates that don't match so I gotta wonder about the data bases. I could see a few Dr. John Winslows (another ancestor) but I kind of wonder about multiple Lt. Job Winslows, especially when some of those don't match dates for any armed conflict. Another Data base puts some of my Baker ancestors in Ireland during the Civil war, but the county name they have on Ireland is pretty darn close to the county name in Ohio were other sites purport them to be. Some indication they might of been Quakers so I don't know maybe they hid out in Ireland during the war to avoid military service? Could also explain why they didn't stay long in Ohio and ended up in Illinois.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
