9 #Genealogy Things You #NeedToKnow This Morning, Thursday, 3 Oct 2013, via 4YourFamilyStory.comGenealogy Need To Know, Thu, 3 Oct 2013
  • Have British Isles ancestors? On the NGS Blog, Diane informs us of an awesome learning opportunity we need to sign up for now so we can learn how to "jump the pond" in our research.
  • Do you have roots in Oregon? Ancestry.com added a new Oregon collection to their website yesterday.
  • Speaking of Ancestry.com, on their blog Kristie Wells tells us if we live in or near New York City or San Francisco, Ancestry.com will be there soon to show us how to use Ancestry.com for our family history researching needs. So register now.

  • On the Google Earth Blog, Mickey Mellen says even if the government shut down has affected the U.S. National Parks, you can still see them virtually via Google Earth and he shows us how to do just that. But? If we're in Google Earth, we should also see where our ancestors lived too, no? In fact, we should try looking up where we used to live {Did that. Made me emotional.} and any one else in our family. We just never know what {or who} we're gonna find there.
  • Great {and simple} family history blogging {and research} tip from Deb on her blog Adventures in Genealogy. Who knew it was that easy?
  • Here's something helpful for those with Indiana roots -- more newspapers are being digitized. Emily Campion gives us all the details on jconline.com.
  • Do you use Feedly to read your favorite genealogy and family history blogs? {I do.} Well, here are some browser extensions and user scripts to enhance our Feedly experience from Thorin Klosowski on the Lifehacker blog.
  • It always seems like it's Google this and Google that, but are you using other search engines to look for your ancestors? You should be. {I know I do.} Here is a new feature to Bing that Google doesn't have {yet}: when we search for an image over on Bing, we get not just computer-generated suggestions, but hand-curated suggestions from Pinterest. Bonus! That will really help us to find our ancestors from everyone pinning their family history over there. {Are you following my Pinterest Boards over there? Because I'm totally there.}
  • On PC World's blog, Jared Newman explains what we can do when our free cloud storage fills up.
