Wrap Up:
1.  One of the databases that impressed me is the SIRS Discoverer and Researcher.  This is because I haven't used them previously and most of the others I had used.  The SIRS are helpful for students looking for help with homework.  I also didn't realize or remember that WorldCat has the OAIster database for articles.

2.  I will continue to use the databases to assist customers with Auto Repair, studying for exams, ProQuest article searches, and much more.

5.  In Sanborn Maps, the small towns I have lived in were not listed, except for one.  I moved from that town in 1970 and the map showed the 30s - 40s.  I saw the high school, but I'm not really sure if it was in the same location.

4.  In HeritageQuest I searched for "Black River Falls, Wis" where my parents grew up and my ancesteries lived.  I retreived the "Enumeration of soldiers and sailors of the late war residing in Wisconsin  in 1885."   I advanced through the book to the pages that listed my Dad's relatives that served in what must have been the Civil War.  It listed their names, rank, company, and post office.  What is so amazing to me is how many men served in that war.  This book was 392 pages and just listed those living in Wisconsin at that time.

2.  I searched for my great grandfather, Norman Stanley, of Wisconsin in the 1880 census.   I have searched for him and his parents several times in the recent past.  I found him and his family.  He was 10 years old.  It listed his family members, ages, etc. . ..  I also found that there are state census records for Wisconsin for 1895 and 1905 that include this relative.  I like the link to other census' that contain records about this person.  I love using this resource and enjoyed sharing the information with my Dad who passed away 11 days ago.  I will think of him whenever searching for his relatives.

Searching for myself in Ancestory.com retrieved a list of addresses going back to 1982, however it didn't list my current address where we have lived for 3 1/2 years.  I have used this resource quite a bit and find it fascinating to look up relatives.
