Genealogy Need To Know, Thu, 24 Oct 2013

• It's awesome to see Joy Shivar's company, JustaJoy.com, spotlighted by Greg Collard on wfae.org. Justajoy is an heirloom matching company for those looking to buy heirlooms and for those who find and sell them. {I've even listed some postcards I've rescued and researched on there in hopes to reunite them with descendants of the people who once owned them.} It's a great research resource too. You can set up alerts for surnames and then get alerted every time someone adds an heirloom with a link to that surname. Are you using Justajoy,com to find clues about your ancestors?
