I hope you heard my big sigh of relief and that of many others. In 2016 a decision was made that this regional location of the U.S. National Archives was expendable. Federal records that are needed and used weekly were to be moved to NARA locations a distance away. I had blogged previously about that […]
Webinars, institutes, conferences, and seminars. Genealogical education is vital and, in many ways, so easily accessible in 2020 and 2021 as these have gone virtual. 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 […]

I have read thousands of pages of documents in the National Archives, historical societies, other archives, and online that have made […]
I remember hearing about this Cyndi’s List. I checked it. Then I met the creator, the owner, the person who added all those links to genealogy and history websites, the adjustor of links as places kept her busy by changing their URLs, and I saw one of these persons sitting at the computer doing the […]

It snuck up on me, too. Have you chosen which course(s) to take? Two weeks of GRIP this year and lots of courses to choose from. GRIP is going virtual again tas it celebrates its 10th Anniversary. Zoom worked exceedingly well last year for the classes, networking, asking questions, and even for the hands-on sessions. […]
This long weekend includes Valentine’s Day and also the U.S. President’s Day. I am self-employed in the genealogy profession, so I still work on both days but my weekend is extra-long because of the extreme cold temperatures.
