I decided to resurrect a web site I created several years ago.<br /><br />Many years ago I created a web site as a means to share some of my genealogical finds with other researchers into the Sluder surname. With all of the personal things going on in my life I didn't have time to maintain the site so I took it down after a year or so. Now that I've gotten back into researching my roots I've decided to resurrect the site.<br /><br />My little corner of the genealogy world on the internet is called <a href="http://sluder.freehosting.net/">All Things Sluder</a> and is hosted at <a href="http://www.freehosting.net/">freehosting.net</a>, which as its name implies is a free site hosting entity. So far I've just created the an index and home pages. In the future I will be adding picture and text information pages.<br /><br />Why not stop at <a href="http://sluder.freehosting.net/">my site</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3352479922107255123-3755652217290448370?l=genealogycorner.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05451091372351326931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352479922107255123.post-64910548952165275752008-11-14T21:49:00.000-05:002008-11-14T21:54:43.015-05:00Hello all and thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Pete and I decided to create a blog to discuss one of my hobbies, genealogy.<br /><br />I became interested in studying my roots back in the mid 1980s. My father was corresponding with a distant relative in Indiana who is a genealogy buff. Included in this distant relative’s correspondence was information about several of my ancestors. My father shared this information with me and I became hooked. Over the next several years I was amassed information about my immediate family, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. Acquiring this information was time consuming and labor intensive because it was all paper based.<br /><br />When I purchased my first personal computer in 1995 finding data became a bit easier. With access to the Internet I was able to search on-line for people. It was, and still is, amazing at the amount of information available with a few keystrokes. In addition, I came across many Sluders who were also researching their family roots. Some are known relatives of mine while others share the last name but have no discernable relationship. I learned that genealogical researchers are a friendly group willing to share information in a never-ending search for more branches to add to their family trees.<br /><br />My genealogical search has been on hiatus since 2001 but after almost seven full years away from genealogy I've started researching again. Along with researching I want to share my experiences and share information that may useful to other researchers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3352479922107255123-6491054895216527575?l=genealogycorner.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05451091372351326931noreply@blogger.com0
