Here is my two cents. Like Anna from Sweden, I too am as some of you would say a foreigner. Although my home is Puerto Rico which by the way is part of the USA I have been living in the states for 26 years. My problem is that searching for ancestors anywhere out of the USA becomes a little difficult. Every where you go on the Internet they want money for something that should be in some cases for free and some of us do not have the means for whatever our reasons. Even Ancestry or some of the others do not have much info for out of the USA. So, in researching thru the wonderful world of the Internet and ROOTS LIST I have come across some wonderful people that not only where willing to help, in some cases have turned out to be cousins just by sharing information or helping to do out of the USA research. Now, my research thru the LDS libraries will become more difficult as those are gone. You see, I live in KATRINA ZONE, nope not New Orleans but the other state. So the little bit that we could rely on for now is gone and no telling when it will all be back. As we rebuild some of us that escaped with little or no damage, are trying to continue with a normal life to keep sane. Genealogy is a wonderful mind occupying hobby. As far as myself I have been doing Gen of and on ( hit BRICK WALLS) for about 10 years now. So, yes give some of us the help we could use if you have 5 minutes. I do it! Thanks Carol
