Asking a favor...

I am asking a favor of my MS family. I have entered a contest where I have the chance to have my dream come true. I have always, well since I was 8 yrs old, wanted to be a professional genealogist but I haven't had the money for the classes, books, and documents I would need. So I posted a video on you tube and entered. The contest is sponsored by Chip Gaines from Fixer Upper fame. What I would appreciate everyone doing is going to my video and giving it a thumbs up to help increase my chances of at least being a finalist. Thanks everyone!

Cool goal. I didn’t realize there were classes and books for this. My faith (LDS) highly encourages geneology work but admittedly I’ve never gotten the hang of it. The family history center in Salt Lake City, Utah is really neat if you ever get the chance to visit it. Good luck in the contest.

Stacy - I, too am LDS but I wasn't till after high school. I also live in SLC so that makes me in a perfect spot to become a genealogist. I really hope that I win! I will find out tomorrow evening if I am a finalist. Then if I am a finalist I find out if I win on Friday or Saturday. They are picking 2 winners, 1 on Friday night and 1 on Saturday night. Here's hoping and praying!

Professional genealogists make really good money. They start at $80/hr so working part-time I could still make pretty good money.

Thank you everyone for your votes. Unfortunately, I didn't make it past the semi-finals. But it was a good experience and I am not sorry I did it. I will just have to come up with another way to get the education I need and want.

At least you tried which is that matter. Here 2 saying I have at the end of my email
