FamilySearch.org ROCKS!

Some REALLY astounding facts, and maps, showing the differences between what FamilySearch is providing and what Ancestry is providing. So sorry for the long URL that you must copy and paste into your browser, BUT it's well worth the look!! Thaks to Chris Paton and his Ancestry Insider blog for this.

Scottish Irish English Course

So U Think U'r Scottish course begins Oct. 18th. It is primarily geared to Scottish researchers, BUT so very many of our Scottish ancestors moved around within the British Isles (mine certainly did!) this course includes numerous hints, tips, and secrets including lots of relatively unknown (but awesome) web links for all BI countries.

The full description of this course is found on the right side of this blog under SEPTEMBER archive, then titled So U Think U'r Scottish. There is still time to register, but I keep the numbers low (even though it's an online course) so I have lots of time to interact and assist each student.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! What a great time to do some interviews?
