Oh yeah, they can get pretty obnoxious. They're up squawking at 5am and I am not a morning person. Thank goodness I don't actually live with my parents any more.
Also, they keep sneaking into our garden and destroying it. We have 32 tomato plants right now that they are specifically interested in and half of them might not make it. We've been rigging up extra fencing (so there are 2 layers of fencing around the tomatoes), but they're still managing to bypass it!
Gah! I was trying to keep a family tree for a while. Before my grandma died, I kept asking her for names and she could barely remember. That and the dementia didn't help either. :| We even used that one search thingie (I can't recall the name of it for the life of me right now) and it pretty much led us nowhere. I hope you have better luck than I did. PS: OMG THE CLUCK CLUCKS! *chases*
The staple that most people use is ancestry.com. I use it as well. It's quite helpful for census info and very forgiving of misspellings and such. However, it can only give you so much. You've got to dig deeper and start looking through county webpages and cemeteries (findagrave.com) and historical society sites. It gets pretty crazy :D
I did the ancestry thing. I didn't think of findagrave, good idea! My family history lies in mexico though, I'd have to pay a lot more to find out everything. Maybe one day after I've been working a while :|
Yeah, definitely much harder (and more expensive) when your ancestors are from outside of the U.S. Wait until you have a lot of time for it and then pay for just one or two months and rush through :)

Do they ever get to be a problem at times?
