Genealogy Need To Know, Friday, 4 Oct 2013

Let's hear it for Friday! Time to get our research ON! And here are some updates to help us out this weekend:

• Ancestry.com yesterday updated 2 of their existing collections for Troup County, Georgia and Presteigne, Radnorshire, Wales. And then they added a new collection to their database: Agana, Guam, U.S., Passenger and Crew Lists of Arriving Vessels and Airplanes, 1948-1954.
• FamilySearch.org released their official list yesterday of what has been updated for the past week on their site. It's too numerous to list here, but there are both U.S. and non-U.S. record indexes and record images that were added. Go have a look-see at their clickable list of newly updated or added collection titles. {After you finish reading this list, of course.}

• Have roots in Ireland? {Oh, yes.} I received an email yesterday from rootsireland.ie with a list of what's been added to their database of indexed and transcribed online information for County Monaghan. What's been added includes various Roman Catholic, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Civil records. New records are notated on their site. Also, are you in Ireland? {Totally jealous if you are, BTW.}, there are spaces still available for their upcoming seminars "Monaghan Genealogy Training" this month. Note: rootsireland.ie is a not-for-profit organization that provides online indexes and digitized transcriptions of original records for those who register, but there are no digitized images of the original records. Upon registering for free, you are given 100 free index search credits, which means you may look at up to 100 search result pages. After the first 100 search credits are used up, you must purchase additional credits. {Please read their terms and conditions for more information.} Currently, they are offering their credits at 40% off through Sunday, 13 Oct 2013.
• And theRegister of One Place Studies website is up and running. A one-place study can be very helpful to researchers because they concentrate on studying a particular location's history, and since our ancestors did not live in a vacuum, all sorts of information can be unearthed to help us learn more about our ancestors. If you are currently doing a one-place study, you might want to register your study for free here in this directory. If you are a family history researcher, you'll want to keep checking back to see what studies have been added to the Register and track them down to see what has been studied in that area. I mean, someone could have actually uncovered information about your ancestors in that location. You don't know until you look.
