International Ancestry.com

If you are an International Ancestry.com subscriber do you know that there are nine other Ancestry websites to go to under the Ancestry umbrella? I personally go to Ancestry.de for my research in Germany. Yes, there are some of the same results but there are lots of results that I do not find on Ancestry.com. To find this information scroll down to the bottom of your Ancestry.com home page. In the bottom right corner it says "Other Sites" with a drop down. Enjoy!

30 Days to the First Day of Spring

You are running out of time to complete your winter genealogy projects! One project you should do is check the Terms and Conditions Agreements of  websites, apps or other digital entities that handle your private information.
If you are like me you don't really take the time when signing up for these things to stop and totally understand this contract with the company. Now is the time to take the time.

Reconnect With Old Contact

Are you lucky enough to be sitting at home in this cold weather and have run out of things you should get done? A fun project for a few minutes is to send an email to someone you haven't contacted in at least a year. First - you make their day. Second - you remind them that you are still doing genealogy. Third - you might learn or share something new. I made contact with a second cousin who I haven't contacted since 2013. We have had a nice sharing of new information.
