CCCorinth: Welcome to TalkLive! This hour- Generations Genealogy Conference. Hope there are lots of small business owning genealogists in the room.

Kujira: Now that COULD be a new small business.

CCCorinth: Kujira- actually- there ARE professional genealogists, and they do a very good business.

Trixie Bab: Yes there are lots, it would be interesting work!

CCCorinth: Because people are always interested in their origins. Trixie- it is- whether professionally done or not.

Trixie Bab: yes I've just started searching mine and I find it very interesting.

CCCorinth: Welcome to Talk City's Monday Night Generations Conference. If you have questions or comments on genealogical matters, this is the place for you! Feel free to join the chat with your own insights on matters genealogical! Trixie- what interests you most about it?

Trixie Bab: The intermingling of different cultures.

CCCorinth: Genealogy is a wonderful hobby, as well as being an excellent means of learning about family history. What led you to your own involvement in genealogical research?

Trixie Bab: The "whys" of it all.

CCCorinth: Trixie- what have you found out so far?

Trixie Bab: Not much, just some cemetery plots with some distant relatives.

CCCorinth: Trixie- ok- what got you started on the search?

Trixie Bab: I'm having a hard time finding my grandfathers parents.

Kujira: I’ve seen a few family plots - confuses me sometimes, tho.

Trixie Bab: I was interested in finding out what type indian we were. It is confusing, Kujira.

CCCorinth: Trixie- oh ok- that’s very interesting- have you looked for sites related to Indian genealogical material on the net? Kujira- what have you found confusing about it?

Kujira: Hard to keep track of who marries who - s'pecially when researching family from the 'old' country - language differences.

Trixie Bab: And the different spellings. Have you ran into that?

CCCorinth: Kujira- ok- when you mention "the old country"- where specifically are you mentioning? Trixie- a lot of people run into that. When people arrived in this country the immigration officials weren’t too careful in how they recorded names.

Trixie Bab: Yeah, I gathered. But after awhile it wasn't too bad.
