Another genealogy breakthrough

I was looking through things at my mom's house, primarily looking for photo albums to scan while she was away, and found my old baby book. It's only partially filled out (I think they abandoned the idea when I was about a month old) but it had information on my great-grandparents that I didn't know. Every genealogy site will tell you that the first step in this process is to interview living relatives, but my family is the type that needs to understand what you're doing before you ask them questions. That's why I haven't asked outright for this information... I need to compile what I can without them and then come to them to fill in the gaps, as opposed to the other way around... What I found out: Paternal grandmother's full name (she's the one who died when my dad was young, so we know more about his step-mom than his birth mom) Names and birth states for all four maternal great-grandparents Birth state for my grandfather (which I knew was his state of residency for much of his life, but I didn't know for certain if it was his birthplace) Haven't gotten a chance to run this by the internet yet (like it's an old friend I talk to, heehee), I came straight here after my genealogy program. I only took home one photo album so far, the one that's mostly about me! The next time I get to go down to mom's neck of the woods, I will trade it for many other smaller ones. I was a very adequately photographed child, being the youngest and fifteen years further into photo technology than when sisters were born. =) There are a whole lot of those, though, so I'll probably only post the best ones online, or rotate which are online. That'll keep me busy for a while! Oh, by the way, we got new cell phones yesterday. We both now have silver Razors, I love mine so far. =D Current projects: Internet digging of new genealogical leads Cross stitching (finally!) something for Cyndi's baby Cleaning up my cell phone address list- I had stored my contacts in the phone, not on the SIM of my old phone. So I had to move them to SIM to copy them over to new phone. In doing so, I lost things like speed dial settings and phone number types. So now I have like "Jenny1, Jenny2, Jenny3" instead of work/home/cell tags on each one.
