Here are some more good Genealogy links that I’ve run across:

• Tracing Your Roots - Tracing Your Roots is the series on BBC Radio that helps put branches on your family tree. Includes information and also weekly podcasts.

I’d like to compile the largest database of Zalewski family trees this side of Poland. The first step in this process is to collect these family trees. So, I’m asking all of you with Zalewski family trees out there to send them my way. As long as you send them in a format that I can read, it doesn’t matter to me what it is (GEDCOM, Family Tree Maker, XML, Text files, etc.)

Send your family tree file to Zalewski Family Tree Project.

Once I have a good collection of these trees, I will put together the database. Let’s work together and make this work!

Some nice links for today:

• Shorpy - a photo blog about what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating.
• Technology Creates Extreme Genealogists - Internet genealogy can be extremely productive, agreed Dick Eastman, who writes an online genealogy newsletter. But it depends greatly on where your ancestors came from.
• Geni.com - Everyone’s Related

There are some interesting articles over at the National Geographic’s Genographic news site.

• First Americans Arrived Recently, Settled Pacific Coast, DNA Study Says
• Rare African DNA Discovered in White British Males
• Skull Is First Fossil Proof of Human Migration Theory, Study Says

I find the Genographic study very interesting. It’s sort of the genealogy of everyone; a very broad view, if you want.

I’m back again or am planning on it at least. I know, I know, you’ve heard that before. Though, I have a lot more free time lately and I’ve already been doing some more research.

I actually found some more leads and doing some more research using my Ancestry.com subscription. I have to admit that their new “My Ancestry” section is wonderful. After I uploaded my tree to it, it automatically helps in searching and attaching sources to my family members. You can also use it to connect to user’s trees together, etc. It’s like Family Tree Maker’s online search function, but a lot better.

I’ve been doing some more research on my wife’s tree. This section of family seems to come from the New York/Connecticut area (if I connected it right.) Does anyone have any good sources to use for research in those areas in the early 1800s and late 1700s?
