Fun My Jester Family Pictures from left a trip to South Dakota right Christmas dinner and bottom center a Family picture when my kids were little. Adding these to my tree today while doing research.
So many new at least to me indexes and resources to continue my research on ancestry.com. I was excited to see the database
Kansas, City and County Census Records, 1919-1961
http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2270
In this I was able to find where my Mom and Dad lived as well as the address of my Grandparents and myself and my sister were listed also. I then called Mom and shared with her what I had found and she gave me more info too. If you have lived or have people that lived in Kansas City check out this database on ancestry.com They vary in information but it gives address and on some age and others number in household while others listed all at the same address by name. Very helpful and interesting.
Another surprise I found was when I found my Father in Law, Mother in Law and Brother in Law listed in the

At first I thought it was for my Father in Law but found out after more investigation it was for my brother in law Dennis Forbes employment with the railroad. Still is a great resource if you have someone working for them. It lists parents, dob, and hire date. Interesting info and helpful if you are looking for a maiden name of a mother.
ancestry.com has other railroad records to:
This is very helpful to look at if you think your ancestor might have worked for the railroad at sometime.
Well back to do research. I am trying to find more info on my Jester side before we meet again with the Jester cousins this Saturday.
Till next time keep on sleuthing and find those family gems
