Today's Things

Genealogy Need to Know, Fri, 15 Nov 2013

• The Legal Genealogist breaks down what Google's recent legal win means to genealogists. [My suggestion to the problem presented at the end of her blog post: redefine what "publishing" means. There are viable revenue-generating "outside the box" ideas that are more suitable for today's researcher.]
• Thomas MacEntee and Lisa Alzo will be hosting Genealogy Writing Boot Camp 23 Nov 2013.
• Researching your Irish ancestors? Findmypast.ie adds more Petty Session court records to its database.
• Yesterday, FamilySearch.org added new records for Belgium (a ton, actually for Belgium), El Salvador, France, and the U.S. states of Missouri and Oklahoma.
• Ancestry.com added 4 new interesting databases yesterday concerning the Associated Press. Also, note Ancestry.com has scheduled maintenance between 3am and 5am ET tomorrow morning [16 Nov 2013] so some of the website may not be accessible during that time.
• And USGenWeb volunteer contributors uploaded 138 files for various counties in the following U.S. states: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia.
