Ancestors

Okay so I've succomed to the advertisements on TV...I've gone to ancestry.com. I have found all kinds of documents of interest to me. I have a copy of my grandfather's World War I registration card from 1917-1918. I have seen a census when my mother was three years old. I have found a lot of information on my paternal great-grandmother. I have found her on another tree from someone in Michican and from someone in California, as well as two others from I don't know where. I have heard back from the person in Michigan saying it was through Issac Shoemaker which was my grandmother's brother. Dad and I were talking and he reminded me that Bud Abbott (and Lou Costello) was related to us. That may be the connection with the person from California. Time will tell if I can find the connection. I have not looked up information on my Dad yet. I will attempt that today and see what I can find to share with him.
