Recently went to Wilmington NC to their local historical collection in the downtown library. They have a subscription to Footnote. Its a nice database with things from the civil war, census documents and for some states naturalization records. You really should check this out at a library near you. I found my grandparents naturalization paper, and consequently I know now where they were born. Thanks Footnote.

I’m often not sure what the age range of my readership is, but probably most of you are not too young to remember the old-style accordion photo wallets that people (primarily grandmothers) used to keep in their purses before the advent of digital devices that not only make phone calls, but serve as virtual luggage for all of our digital data, including photos.

In January of 2008, Money Magazine wrote an article comparing 6 of the most popular scanning services. They sent 40 prints to the six different companies and rated them on cost, turnaround time and scan quality.

I am working on my marketing plan for gsgenealogy and next month the business plan is due. I took a SBDC course in developing a Business Plan but there were no sample plans for Genealogy research available from the resources they provided.

I would like to join a group, but they are not well-described, or easy to find.
I'm not planning to post any genealogy information here, but it's all over on Ancestry.

This Old House
Wish I could remember the words. But this old house is soon to be no more.
This old house was home from fall 1948 until Jan 10, 2011. At that time it crossed over to being
a reminder of what we had, what we could have had and what we were denied.
This old house had it's timbers rocked and it's soul fulfilled many times over in it's life time.
We started with gutting the ancient newspapers, bottles, cans and debris out of the place. We then
had a huge bonfire to burn
