Bonnie Brothers Quotations

I have 10 to 15 volumes of names just connected to (my immediate family). I got so carried away with this, I (researched) my cousins' (families).

You may have to listen to a lot of stories before you get the data you need ... but it's up to the interviewer to stay on track.

This is very elementary. This is something someone can do to get started (plotting family history).

I've heard people say, 'I wish I'd asked Mama.' When everybody dies, a certain amount of history is buried with that person. There's a window of time ... and when that person is gone, that window is closed.

I have only one brother, but both my parents had huge families. (One of my grandmothers had) 44 grandchildren. ... I have 60 first cousins.

If you're into genealogy, read the newspaper. If I don't read anything else in the newspaper, I read the births, weddings and obituaries.

If you're successful doing genealogy, there's a necessity to be organized. I also love working jigsaw puzzles and our genealogy is a great big jigsaw puzzle. And buy a computer with lots of memory.
