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.

If You Don't Ask You May Never Know!

How many times have you specifically asked your genealogy contacts if they have contact with anyone in the old county? For some reason I asked a new contact that very question yesterday. She said no but I have letters from after WWII from relatives in Germany. I was floored especially that they were from Pomerania. That means there are at least two families in Germany waiting for me to find them. So today I have contacted family contacts of that line here to ask if they know of any contact with family in the old country. I have receiver two positive responses! These are people I have talked genealogy with for over 5 years! So don't assume people will know what you want to know, ASK!
