I got a note today from NEHGS’s Tom Champoux about the success of the “Family History Day” in Boston, sponsored by the New England Historic Genealogical Society and Ancestry.com. The event was held Saturday, Feb 20th at the Westin Copley Place Hotel and brought in more than 700 people from all [...]

We set up a Family Roots Publishing Company display of genealogy books and supplies in the Heritage Room at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel this afternoon. We will be displaying product from noon until 9:30 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday also. Then we pack up and head to St. George, Utah for the [...]

For the first time in my life, I found out what a limitation being deaf can be… I’ve normally found ways of working around the issue, but not today… I was invited by someone at NBC Universal to be involved in a conference call (along with many others I’m sure) with Lisa Kudrow and [...]

I just got a note from my friend, Illya D’Addezio, telling me that genealogists can now view results from the Record Search pilot from within Live Roots. “The FamilySearch Record Search pilot include millions of indexed records, and is expanding each month. When you perform a search in Live Roots, you will see a [...]

The following is another interesting and thought-provoking article by my friend, Tom Fiske: Did you ever read the story or see the movie, Mrs Wiggs and the Cabbage Patch? It was an interesting but sad story about poverty-bound people that was produced in the 1930’s. The junior high school I attended drew some [...]

The Albany, New York City Hall burned on February 10, 1880. However, historians and genealogists alike can thank fire chief James McQuade and Wheeler B. Melius for “saving 700 volumes of records weighing between 12 and 16 pounds each” by throwing them out a narrow window. Following is a teaser from an article in the [...]

Good news. The “Map Guide to German Parish Registers – Oldenburg & Schleswig-Holstein” is again in print in the soft cover edition.

The following is another thought-provoking article by my Friend, Tom Fiske. Today I received an email from a man named Vic who is writing a book. He thanked me for help that I have given him over the past two years. And it is true. I gave him family photos and [...]

I see that NBC has a website posted their new “Who Do You Think You Are? series which premieres on March 5. If this doesn’t get you excited about the upcoming series, nothing will. It includes a terrific video promoting the program. I think you’ll like it. And yes, the video is preceded by [...]

I just received a copy of Ron Arons’ new book, “Wanted! U.S. Criminal Records - Sources & Research Methodology.” Ron told me about six months ago that he was authoring and publishing the volume, and I’ve been eagerly anticipating its arrival. The subject is one that I’ve always found interesting, and have often lectured on [...]

The following note was just received form Kathleen Hinckley. It looks like the Association of Professional Genealogists is looking for someone to act as a sales rep for advertising within the Quarterly. This could be a challenging and rewarding part-time job for someone. If I wasn’t so darned busy already, I’d apply myself… APGQ is looking [...]

When I was going thru my chemo, I had to move and my children packed up all my family tree research.  I am now unpacking it and found a 59 page "Descendancy Narrative of Pleasant Casey", someone emailed it to me and somehow I have lost the name and email address of who sent it to me.  During all this my computer crashed and I lost a lot of email addresses.  I want to use this info but I want to give credit to who wrote it and I want permission to use it. Does anyone have an idea of who wrote this narrative and/or are researching this person.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

This is now the second day of the Arizona Family History Expo. It’s been an eventful time thus far - for a number of reasons. First off, we wondered if we were even going to get to Mesa.
