Site Changes plus a new site

by

Heading into the weekend, I’m finishing up a new look for the site, that should be easier to use (and perhaps looks better).

I’m also working on a second site that is kind of a supplemental to this site – that’s not the right word, complimentary maybe a better word. It covers something that I debated adding to this site for a couple of months, before deciding to make it its own site. I’ll announce it here after I put the finishing touches on it tonight or tomorrow morning.

Genealogy Today: Sifting church records often helps

by

Connie Lenzen, writing in The Columbian (Vancouver, Washington), reminds us of the important genealogical records available through churches. Connie mentions the difficulties that can exist in finding such records, because they can be scattered about. One important resource mentioned – USGenWeb – was used to track down county histories, which led to church histories, which can be vital in determining where these records would have been kept and who would have been keeping them.
