What are you doing at this very moment?

I charge £15-20 an hour, depending on whether I have to travel to their house or not. That seems to be the going rate around here.

That's helpful. I found a couple services listed online that were going for $25 an hour for that level math.

Good luck with it.

If the kid wants to learn then that's half the battle won. What I do is structure each session as if I was teaching a class of 30 - make a little lesson plan, in other words.

Very useful to refer back to if you find yourself covering the same ground with someone else further down the line, too.

Thanks, I talked to the mother already and she seemed pretty reasonable and was pretty clear, at least over the phone, about what her kid needs. It sounds like the kid already has a pretty good grasp but just needs to be given some organized coursework to keep it fresh in her mind for when she goes back to school next year. Guess I'll find out.

Thanks, and no. They need answers I don't have. His father's full name, for starters. His dad died before I was born. I asked mother today, and she was clueless. To hell if I know what to do.

Yeah, that would be another question. That, and the exact date of death. The year was his death was 1978. Those two exact pieces of information, I can get, but I don't need anyone getting curious as to why I am asking, and they have got to be certain with what they tell me. It would appear that I will be charged something, whether they find it all, or not. I already know he's dead. I don't care to pay, to hear that again.

His name was the first to come up in the Ancestry.com. I know it is him, because they had the accurate middle initial, and the accurate place of birth. I wonder if I can trust them. Although I still need his father's name. Damn blasted!

Do I sound mysterious, or what!?!

I'm not trying to be sneaky, or get minds to wondering. I will probably say what this is all about, once I find out for myself.

I was going to suggest you check some of the genealogy sites (Rootsweb and LDS are free) to track down his Social Security number so you can order a copy of his record... sometimes they have the parents and other family information listed. Also, if he was in the military, they would have the names of his parents.

If the man in question was born before 1930, he should be on the 1930 census with his parents. Some of the libraries in major cities have the census on microfilm in their genealogy departments... and all states have a State Archives you can contact that will normally check records for you (for a fee).

Thanks, and yes, I do believe he was in the military. I think I remember an old black and white photo of him in his suit.

Good luck Ðèstîñy....



Right now I'm waiting for my clothes to finish drying so I can fold them before I go nighty night for a wee bit....

Thinking about how big this thread is.

Awwww sweetie

I'll not be doing any visiting today then. Don't you hate it when someone turns up at your door and immediately sneezes?

I wouldn't think about walking into a person's living room and breaking wind loudly. For example.

looking for some good sites to surf on..
