To celebrate I’ve been busy on the site, yesterday alone I updated 937 links and added 78 new. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve updated almost 1,800 and added about […]
It was the late 1990s at a genealogy conference in some city. After so many years of attending them, it’s tough to remember which one I was at, but I do remember meeting this Cyndi who was in charge of Cyndi’s List. I had owned a computer for at least a dozen years at that […]
Now that Donny Osmond has been named as one of the keynote speakers for the joint Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and RootsTech 2015 conference, I have a story to share.
