Did anyone else encounter that the first Ancestry tutorial on the MSL page had no audio? I found that a little weird, and got distracted wondering what was supposed to be going on, or was I supposed to just be staring at the screen? Strange.
I wasn't expecting to find too much information about myself in Ancestry. After all, I've never been married. Sure enough, I don't seem to exist at all. I'm not sure whether or not I should be disappointed by this. I can't find my birth certificate no matter how specific I get. Oh well. I was able to find my grandmother in the census results, but it took some finessing. I had to use her maiden name rather than her married name. Funnily enough, my grandmother was still not a US citizen in 1935, which I never knew.
The photos and maps search for Maine I found to be not particularly useful. I noticed that there were a lot of other images that came up, rather than historical images of Maine. If I were using it for a project, I would try to get more specific and look for specific cities to try to narrow down the search.
