• While it's well past breakfast {and lunch} in the UK {Tea Time news?}, here's something for those across the pond.

• Ancestry.com {US} updated their 1911 Census of Canada collection yesterday. And according to Elizabeth LaPointe on her blog Genealogy Canada, so did Ancestry.ca {Canada}.
• Academic journals can be very helpful to the family history researcher, and now, according to Diane on the NGS blog, JPASS is our "ticket" to accessing them easily. 
• Here's a brand-spanking new iOS app that scans and OCRs multi-page documents and creates searchable PDFs. And the app will cost you the same as the price of  a fancy schmancy coffee. {I wonder how accurate it is?}
