8 #Genealogy Things You Need To Know This Morning, Tuesday, 1 Oct 2013Genealogy Things, Tuesday, 1 Oct 2013
  • The second episode of Genealogy Roadshow featured Detroit, and if you missed it last night, you can watch it online right now on PBS. Me? Totally loved it and the family stories revealed. But I'm biased when it comes to family stories. {Duh.}
  • And? Ancestry.com acquired Findagrave. {Thank goodness.} It's been reported by all parties involved the site will remain free. Now, with funding and adequate support, we hope to see design upgrades, improved functionality, and a mobile app. If you're local to the Harris County and Montgomery County, Texas area,I will be doing a presentation towards the end of this month at the Chaparral Genealogical Society in Tomball, Texas, that will focus on how a researcher can use Findagrave to solve their family history mysteries. Access to wifi is being provided by Chaparral {Thank you!} so a live demo will be a part of the presentation. {Come on out, y'all!}

  • Speaking of Ancestry.com, they added 7 new collections to their database site and updated 2 yesterday. Did they add something you've been needing for your research? {I dunno. I need to go look. See ya' later.}
  • The new design in Google Drive is really pleasing to the eye for Docs, Sheets, and Slides. {Which is nice and appreciated since I use it a lot for research. Do you?}
  • Cyndi reported on the Cyndi's List Facebook Page yesterday new categories and new sub-categories added to Cyndi's List. {Handy and dandy for the family history researcher and very much appreciated.}
  • The Texas State Library and Archives in Austin, Texas, is hosting a Genealogy After-Dark Program October 18th. And they've partnered with other libraries across the state for remote access to their presentations, including the Houston Public Library System. So? An excellent time to learn all about how a researcher can use the Texas State Library and Archives to help solve their family history mysteries. {Y'all.}
  • It's Family History Month in October so keep an eye out for local presentations and programs in your area at libraries and genealogical societies to help you with your research. And if there are any specials promoted by genealogy vendors, I'll be listing them here.
  • It's also American Archives Month, and I will be kicking it off with a no-end-in-sight How Family History Researchers Can Use Archives Online and Offline blog series. I'll be doing a combination of blog posts and short how-to videos for your learning pleasure. {So keep an eye out for those. 'Cause really? It's always Family History Month at 4YourFamilyStory.com. Y'all.}
