Today's Things

8 #Genealogy Things You Need to Know This Morning, Sunday, 16Feb 2014. #needtoknow
  • From The Telegraph: "First World War: Around the war in a handful of objects." Sometimes it's the objects we have that spark our interest in family history research as they help us to tell the story. [A good Sunday read, or, look-see.]
  • USAToday has a list of Black History places you might not have seen. Is one near you? If so, this may be a perfect time for a visit.
  • Doing some family history writing this month? Have an iPad? Makeuseof.com has a great article on how to make your iPad be a "Mobile Writing Workstation." [Personally, I love writing on my iPad with my Bluetooth keyboard.]
  • On The Genetic Genealogist, Blaine explains why ignoring the AncestryDNA naysayers is the best thing to do. [I agree. And I recently acquired an AncestryDNA test kit. I'm spitting today and mailing tomorrow. It will be nice to compare to my test results from 23andme, AND it will be nice to have the results attached to my Ancestry Tree. BTW, right after my Family Stories blog, I get the most cousin contacts via my private tree on Ancestry.com. I never liked witch hunts anyway. Not when it comes to my ancestors [My 10th great grandmother, Mary (Perkins) Bradbury, was accused of being one.] or one of my favorite genealogy companies.]

  • Kickstarter was hacked. So if you ever ran a project with them or if you have ever given money to a Kickstarter project, then you should probably go change your password. [I did.]
  • Here's a good read on the state of Canada's digitized newspapers from ActiveHistory.ca. The bonus is that the author lists what's currently available online.
  • Recently, Genealogy Trails volunteer contributors uploaded information and records for various counties in the following US states: Alabama and Minnesota.
  • And USGenWeb volunteer contributors uploaded 160 files yesterday for various counties in the following US states: Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, and Washington.

Did you miss a day this past week? Maybe?

  • Did you miss the 11 genealogy things you needed to know yesterday?
  • How about the 8 genealogy things you needed to know Friday?
  • And how about the 6 genealogy things you needed Thursday?
  • Maybe the 10 genealogy things you needed Wednesday?
  • What about the 7 genealogy things on Tuesday?
  • Perhaps the 7 things on Monday?
  • The 7 last Sunday?


Happy Researching!
