Today's Things

• MakeUseOf.com highlighted a new iPad app yesterday called MarginNote which offers something the other PDF iPad apps don't offer -- viewing your notes on the document while you're viewing the document. [I've not played with it yet, but the screenshots make the app look quite robust.]
• Steller is a beautiful storytelling app for iOS devices. What a beautiful way to tell your story. You know, the one you're leaving behind for your descendants. Check it out in this review on The Next Web.

• Not sure where to find a local genealogical society who has an Irish special interest group so you can figure out & discuss your Irish research problems? No worries. Try this GIS Database Map on the Townland of Origin: Irish Genealogy Research in North America website. [Has some other Irish research resources as well.]
• According to its Facebook Page, findmypast has added to its 1858 Belfast Morning News online database and has added a new online collection for Australia.
• From Claire, on Irish Genealogy News: there's a new guide for those researching County Monaghan; Emerald Ancestors has added Church Census to its collection; PRONI has completed adding its Will Calendar Collection; and news on an upcoming genealogy cruise that includes Irish research. [Want. That. Cruise.]
• While they haven't updated their dates of when they have added certain collections recently, Ancestry.com added 2 new databases yesterday for Massachusetts (State Census, 1855 & 1865). [Good thing I'm looking every day.]
• Ancestry.com is also offering free access to their Irish record collections from today through 17 Mar 2014.
