OK, I’m not trying to be negative but I had an incredibly eye-opening experience today. On my research trip today I was excited to finally go searching for birth and death records of folks who were born in the late 1800s and died in the very early 1900s. How wonderful it would be to get [...]

It’s been very interesting to be able [...]

Today, I was reading some of my favorite blogs and noticed that a few folks had posted some of the death certificates from the Family Search Labs. I’m very excited about theses databases, especially the Texas Deaths, 1890-1976.
I’m just curious though. Does anyone remember the Ancestry fiasco last year? You know, folks were posting images [...]

Well, it finally happened. I have taken the plunge and started an account at Facebook!
I’ve been content with my MySpace page for it seems like forever and I will continue with that but I believe that my new venture will be very exciting. I was reading a post yesterday about the Unclaimed Persons by Megan [...]

I just went to visit the Family Search Labs site and noticed that the database named Texas Deaths, 1890-1976 was no longer there. I wonder, are they updating it or have they actually removed it? It would be a shame if they have removed it.
Anyone know anything about this?

So, what’s [...]

I’m not sure how many folks know about this one but I thought I would share a recent find with you. Every now and then I will venture over to the Family Search website and check out what is happening. I recently discovered that there are quite a few new databases added at the Famiy [...]

OK, so this isn’t genealogy related but I just thought I would post this one. For all of us who use WordPress for our blogs this tool is invaluable!
I’ve been using the Akismet spam plug-in since I started this blog. It’s only been about 10 months but it has already eliminated about 2, 400 spam [...]

Hmm, I wonder what this post will be about?
I’m still going through a lot of the sites I discovered and rediscovered during the last Carnival of Genealogy. One of those sites that I have discovered is Find A Grave. I played around with it for a while and found a few things that [...]
