A very dear cousin recently gave me a large old bible, which belonged to our Great-Grandmother, Mary Belle Doyle (Carr). No births or family tree listed, Just an inscription in the front. The bible was a gift from her nephew. In the bible is a newspaper clipping of the funeral of Frank Molloy. Frank was a young man who drowned in 1886 in Pine Lake, Laporte, Indiana. So the big question is Why did my GGrandmother have this clipping in the bible? an even bigger mystery is..My GGrandma was born in

Sometimes you see something visual and it just resonates with you on such a deep level that it starts the beginnings of an interest, an obsession, or even a love affair.
I was in the Catherine Couturier Gallery a couple months ago and came across a few pieces by artist Photographer Rachel Phillips, who considers herself a photographer yet uses her photography in such a unique manner via a transfer process that all her art works are one of a kind, completely unique. In her work entitled “Field Not

When I was just a teen aged kid, I started tracing our genealogy. I had some help from a night class I took, and then I was on my own in the genealogy stacks of the reading room at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. I was lucky because it was the mid-1970s, and I had interviewed my grandparents, who had been born in the 1890s. They knew all about their own parents and grandparents, which took me right to the “Tan Books”. In those days (pre-internet), anyone doing

SALT LAKE CITY – Well, what was my greatest thing for the week in genealogy? Number one was getting the phone tree results for people attending our Free upcoming Seminar.
It actually was quite an affair due to, sluggish computers, lack of servers, downed systems and lost emails. No, Not Mine, but the actual people involved. Yes, that is a first. I may blog about it down the road.
My personal delight was linking to two more distant relatives and finding sources for five of my Ancestor's data.

I work as a kind of Secretary in this Crown Office, but one with a difference. Just as a clock (24hr) I never seem to stop working? Strangely, apart from my late husband (Climber) this is the only man I don't mind working for.
No, he never did fall down a mountain; he tripped-up on the way up a Hill – he was too good a mountaineer to fall down? Well that's how I described it? I laughed every day I knew him, and I laughed on the day he died!
I like working for this person because he's quite dif

I once gave a presentation on photo restoration to a local historical group.. I stood up and said,
“It’s 10 o’clock…. do you know where your photos are?” Everyone gave a chuckle because most were familiar with that old public service announcement that used to play right before the local news. But people also laughed because they thought about their own photos, sitting in shoe boxes, quietly fading into obscurity or sitting on their computer hard-drives with names such as DSC00456.jpg.
