I went to the public library in Lisbon Falls and ended up having to use one of their computers because I could not get on the site with my laptop even though I was using the library network.
I did a simple search using my married name and found 5 US Public Record results. Funny to look at the addresses, one being incorrect and none of them showing my newest address. There is another me in Austalia! I did another search using my maiden name and found my marriage information. Many relatives popped up, but not me so much...interesting!!!
Looked up my great grandfather and found him in the 1910 census. Looked at view record and could see the names of his children including my grandmother, but a great aunt and great uncle hadn't even been born yet so they weren't on the list. I could look at the actual record too, though those handwriting documents are hard to read.
Maybe I'm not following the directions absolutely, but I looked under maps and picture on the bottom left and did another search for my great grandfather. He was in the class of 1890 at Dartmouth College, was born 25 Dec 1868 in Woolich ,Maine, and was Capt MRC 1917-18. Middle name Andrew.
I did watch the MSL tutorials and found them most helpful. Sometime I will go back and explore more. My searches mostly pertained to my Dad's sideof the family, but I'd like to search on my Mom's side too.
