7 #Genealogy Things You Need to Know This Morning, Saturday, 16 Nov 2013, via 4YourFamilyStory.com. #needtoknowGenealogy Need to Know, Sat, 16 Nov 2013
  • On Canada's Anglo-Celtic Connections, John D. Reid shares with us the 2014 schedule of Pharos Teaching and Tutoring Courses. [I signed up for the British Origins one since I'm ready to jump the pond on several of my lines and my DNA results indicate I'm almost 42% British and Irish. And I got in on a discount because I'm a member of NGS. And? I've got a handy dandy guide to help me translate the British language. ;) ]
  • Speaking of crossing the pond, for me, many of those crossings start in the American Colonies. On Genea-Musings, Randy Seaver shares some great research reasons to join the New England Historic Genealogical Society. If you have New England roots, have you considered joining? [I'm a member -- lots of helpful resources!]
  • WikiTree has an all new beautiful design which will make using it for research collaboration all the better.
  • The Texas State Genealogical Society announced its 2013 election results. [I'll be busy but I'm looking forward to the challenge. =) ]
  • Mocavo has added over 30,000 new databases and some new features. [Remember: Free Forever.]

  • Yesterday, FamilySearch.org added records for Brazil, Chile, Italy, Mexico, and for the U.S. states of Louisiana and Maine.
  • And USGenWeb volunteer contributors uploaded 156 files yesterday for various counties for the U.S. states of Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia. Did they add something you've been needing for your research? A photo? A transcription? A clue? Something?

Have you tried this resource?

Research Forms from FamilySearch Wiki ~ You're probably thinking the use of research forms is pretty outdated. Well, stop giving me the stink eye. Here's my explanation. The [misguided] idea that everything's online, the fact that it's really easy to merge online "stuff" to our online trees, and [let's face it] our laziness all tend to make us think research forms are just SO 2005. And that would be where we are categorically wrong. And it's probably where a few of our research "brick wall" problems are trapped. Filling out a research form -- whether we do it electronically or by hand [after we find where we put that pencil the last time we used it] -- makes us slow down, makes us look at the information, and makes us critically think about the information. And just those 3 things can be like a wrecking ball for our research brick walls leaving a pile of rubble for us to march right over. To the next brick wall problem. But? FamilySearch Wiki Research Forms.

Other days, other things...
