Ancestory and such

I did not do so well on this one, Ancestory and I do not get along. I have tried using it for the past 5 years, and just never got it. I looked for myself and could not find anything, but I seemed to find everyone else with my name. I did find my Grandpa, which was cool-I never knew he was born in Wisconsin. I looked at the family photo collection under South Dakota-that was really neat, I love to look at old pictures. In HeritageQuest, I looked up my maiden name, Peck, in the Revolutionary War Records. There were 158 results listed. That surprised me, since it seemed like my last name us so uncommon growing up. I liked this site, I have never looked at it before. I also really liked the Sanborn Maps-I have never looked at it before. I found the spot where our library sits now and the hospital on the 1917 map. I tried looking for my house, but maybe back in 1917 the street I lived in was not named yet? After this lesson, I still feel fairly uncomfortable with Ancestory, but I liked HeritageQuest and Sanborn Maps-I want to do more messing around on them and see what I find!
