Hello , My name is Bonnie Bolster.
I currently am taking the course Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist. It is the third class that I have taken. I have learned so much from all of the classes.
I have also attended some of the online Virtual Meetings and read logs for the ones that I could not attend.
I have been interested in Genealogy since the 1960’s but more active since 2000. Luckily my Grandparents and Great Grandparents and one Great Great Grandparent saved documents and lette
Tomorrow night at our Genealogical Society the topic is to do our own obituary ! I have sat down several times over the past week and this is alot harder than I thought it was going to be. Some were too short and some were way to long. Then I started to think, ok as a genealogist what do I look for when I read an obituary ?
This afternoon I remembered that when my father's cousin's wife passed away , you could just tell that whoever wrote the obit was into genealogy from what was included in

For several years I have been searching for information on my Great Grandfather, Horrace H Curran and his wife Marinda. I believe they were married in 1854+-. According to 1860 U.S. Census they lived in Town of Chatham, PA and had three children; Silles, Alice and Mary. My grandfather, John J, was born in 1868 and his death certificate indicates he was born in Lawrenceville, PA.
Its almost as if he fell off the earth after the 1860 Census - I've found no further information about him. Researc

I am looking for information on Sarah Ann Chriss. She was born in Jasper County Illinois. Died there in 1870. I am trying to find out how she passed away. She was the first wife of John Fear of Jasper County Illinois.
For the past few weeks I have been involved in a back and forth phone tag with a potential client.
Each time he’s called me, I returned the call, and each time I called, he was busy and told me he would get back to me. A couple weeks ago he asked me to send him some more information about my work so I sent him a flyer, and links to several video clips and testimonials. But we never actually had “the conversation” about what he was looking for, how I could help him, and how soon we could get star

I have been able to find quite a bit of information in the last couple of weeks. I received birth, marriage and death certificates ordered from England on quite a few members of my family. We had concrete birth dates, concrete marriage dates, concrete death dates, at last. My father stared at each one of them, touched them, smiled at them. The most moving certificate form him was his father's birth certificate. "I have people, " he said. More certificates were ordered, and now we sit and w

“I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” — Banksy
While this quote was directly attributed to the graffiti artist Banksy, the sentiment is not his alone and appears all over the place, attributed to several different people.
For instance:
“Some day soon, perhaps in forty years, there will be no one alive who has ever known me. That’s when I will be truly dead – when I exist in no one’s memo
After several weeks of not being able to find my grandfather in the 1911 census, I started to wonder about the theory my cousin's husband had. Could my grandfather really have been sent to Canada? I searched for my grandfather in passenger records from England to Canada. My cousin's husband had mentioned a record he found and I took a look at it. Charles Brown, passenger with the Waifs and Strays Society, en route to Canada in 1912. The boy in this record was the right age to be my grandfat
