I've recently had my dna tested with "FamilyTreeDNA" on the web. I'm fairly new to dna research and am slowly attempting to understand it all. I have numerous matches and have made contact with several of my matches to get a better understanding of how we connect. As time goes on and the price of these tests come down I think that more and more genealogist will use this new technology.

Growing up and living in the United States, I had never heard of Ted Grant or been exposed to his photojournalism, so I was not really sure who this keynote speaker was at the Association of Personal Historians 2010 Conference in Victoria BC earlier this month.

One issue that arises immediately is the needto maintain image associations. As one commentator wrote recently, shehad an old picture album from a relative and wanted to maintain therelationship among the p

I recently returned from the 2010 Association of Personal Historians Conference held in Victoria, British Columbia. The theme of this conference was “Voices of the Elders” and was named as such to “honor the First Nations, the first peoples of Canada, on whose traditional territory we met, as well as the elders of all nations, whose stories we help preserve.”
The first morning our keynote speaker was a man named John Elliott, a First Nation Elder of WSAÅLNEC? who teaches language and culture at t
I was just reading about a woman whose computer was acting up so she called a computer technician out to her home to save her from the dread ‘blue screen.’ Apparently she had 10 years worth of genealogy research stored on her computer and NO BACKUPS! Just thinking about that makes me shudder.
