For those who visit me often and occasionally leave a comment, I want to alert you to the fact that I have added an extra layer of security.

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.

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 [...]
