I enjoyed using these sites. It's fun to hunt up family history. I had more luck with my husband's family because Kirschenman is less common that Erickson or Wolf. I also realized that I have left quite a trail with moving so much in the last 20 years. My various addresses were listed, ones I hardly remembered. We don't have much call yet for these sites in high school, but I could recommend them to history teachers, especially when they do their family history projects.
You are right, JeanWK! We have had several history teachers tell us they use these resources for primary documents. There is good Civil War & immigration history here, as well as local history. Thanks for the comments.
