Doing family history research for over 40 years. Not a professional genealogist, but a professional librarian with similar skills.
Software used to store family history database - Ancestral Quest. I formerly used PAF from the Mormon Church but they no longer support it so I spent some time looking for something to replace it. Ancestral Quest is built on PAF so I was able to easily transfer my data into it and was easily able to find my way around the database. I highly recommend it.
I research ALL my family lines and, when necessary, research collateral families (by marriage) if I think I can find information there.
My primary families are: BEISMER, WORMUTH, ODELL, OLIVER, MATTICE, DEBECK, FLOWER(S), HAYDEN, HENDRICKS(ON), HOGANCAMP, HULSE, PLATNER, VANDERMARK, CHASE, CRANDALL. I research, of course, all the variant spellings of those surnames.
I have found the origins of only one of those families, the MATTICE family who immigrated to the New York colony in 1711-1712, first from Germany to England, then from England to East Settlement on the Hudson, as part of the Palatine ships.
