The Irish American Research Association is offering a webinar presentation for members on Friday, May 14th, at 7:00 p.m. EDT. I am the presenter and my topic is “The WPA Era: Free Records Boon from the Government.” This U.S. federal government program produced much that still provides information for genealogists and historians.

Don’t forget to check county, regional, and state genealogical societies to see what they have to offer. Some are free, but many have a fee associated. The organization needs to […]
I forgot that I had this page bookmarked. I probably do need to browse through all my bookmarked sites more often to see which ones still work. This page from Findmypast tells the records held by Fmp by country, state, subject , and country. I still do a variety of searches by names and some […]
