Climbing my family tree, part 2: Grandma Josephine....

At the recommendation of a few friends, I signed up for ancestry.com and purchased a 6-month membership. It gives me a nice user interface to visually keep track of the people in my family tree, and easily add people -- mother, father, spouse, children (but not brothers or sisters). I wonder which JavaScript framework or library they're using -- Dojo, jQuery, or something else.

The hard part is trying to determine what to pursue first. After my father's family (parents and siblings), and my mother's family (also family and siblings), there are several areas of focus I can choose from -- my paternal grandfather's family, my paternal grandmother's family, my maternal grandfather's family, and my maternal grandmother's family. All four of my grandparents had passed away before my sister and I were born. So for us, "visiting the grandparents" was to go to the cemetery and tend to their gravestones.

Both of my mother's parents emigrated from Poland, so I probably wouldn't get very far if I restricted my searches to US records only. My ancestry.com account only covers US records, so this search will likely be deferred to a later date.

( So, let's start with my father's mother's family, since I know them best. )
