Wow, it's been a week. It sure seemed to go quickly. I didn't get to much family research in the last week, but I did visit my local library and checked out some of their genealogy items. The first book I checked out was "Your Guide to Cemetery Research" by Sharon Debartolo Carmack. It was one of … [Read more...]
Backup
14 May 2007 By
There comes a time in every computer user's career that they say, "I wish I had backed that up." Fortunately, I haven't needed to say that yet. Though, I technically have four hard drives on my computer; my main one, another one inside, and two external USB hard drives. I had it set up this way … [Read more...]
Research Update
24 April 2007 By
I've been working this week on my family line. I've been hitting a few of the brick walls to see if anymore information is available using a couple of resources. I usually first use Ancestry's "My Ancestry" family tree section, since I can browse right to the individual I want to use. All of their … [Read more...]
RootsTube

I found a nice collection of Genealogy-related videos ala YouTube at a site called RootsTube. I watched one on "Writing Your Family History" and it was very interesting. I am linking it here, but you can watch the rest or them (and more) at their website. Go see the rest at RootsTube. To find … [Read more...]

I ran across this via Lifehacker. It looks to be a website that allows you to create a "family website" including family trees, photos, calendar, and maps. It's called JotSpot Family Site. Use our quick family tree builder to see all the family generations at a glance. Never forget the names of … [Read more...]
Springtime
24 March 2006 By
Well, it's springtime (though snow is on the ground as I type) and it looks like its time to get some of those headstone photos that are needed. I have noted a bunch of them in the local area that I can hunt down. There are some farther away, such as in the northern tip of Wisconsin, but those can … [Read more...]
East Coast Researchers
6 March 2006 By
I've been doing a lot more research on the east coast states, mainly Virginia, Delaware (Hi, we're in..Delaware), Maryland, etc and it's not as easy as I had assumed it would be. I say this because I had assumed there were a lot more records since those states have been around the longest. I've been … [Read more...]
