Readdle's Documents app's latest update integrates with the rest of their productivity apps and on the iDownload Blog, Lori gives a great review of it and the new integration. [I also talk about Readdle's productivity apps in my blog post 39 iPad Productivity Apps for Genealogy.]
From Engadget: Google Hangouts for iOS has been updated. [I'm liking the redesign. Looks a lot better on my iPad, IMO.]
Confused about newspaper obituaries and copyright? On Genealogy's Star, James makes some very good points about it.

Also on Genealogy's Star, James explains how you can find your ancestor's land patent.
Yesterday, Ancestry.com added 2 new databases to their subscription collection for New Mexico; updated indexing for an already existing 3rd party site for South Carolina; and added to an already existing database of theirs for Australia.

First, thank you for all the tips, info, etc. you provide on this blog. Next, I'm in a quandary about whether to download Quick Office or Documents on my iPad. I definitely want to edit MS documents stored in Dropbox but maybe these 2 apps offer more. Your recommendations would be welcome. Thanks!

Denise, in your situation, I would say Documents 5 would be a better fit. Google acquired Quick Office and it's more integrated with Google Drive.

With Documents, you can still store in Dropbox.

Thanks you so much for dropping by. I really appreciate it! :-)
