 Topic is Genealogy is Fun by Susi Pentico and  Lost Ancestors which covers your brick walls
 and asking for help

 to resolve the brick walls.  

New York Region Help and others in the Region.

Genealogy - D. Pane-Joyce

 Pane-Joyce Genealogy by David Pane Joyce has much information on his pages.

He covers sites that many seem to be in need of.

Beer's  Atlas of Saratoga Co. NY, 1866,  town maps including landowner's homes
Atlas of Saratoga County, New York


Records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Albany, New York much to be gained by looking at this site.

I am only commenting on some  but he covers a lot more. Maine, Mass and Ohio, Michigan.

I love to share the sites I find since many I talk to are lost in this region of research.

Thanks David Payne-Joyce for this great blog you do.

Some News About Useful Blogs

Some News About Useful Blogs

Ever so often, I wander around looking at various blogs. Where do I find them, on various
Genealogical Facebook pages or from recommendations.

This is one of my favorites and he keeps me busy trying to keep up with his posts.

He has many topics and so much information I suggest you wander over and take a look.

He has updated and increased the data by quite a bit. It covers all states, some is free, some is not but the knowledge is there. 

He shows blogging since Oct 2010.  Some of his data has helped our members too.  Thanks so much for what you do.

Research Methods to Consider By Susi Pentico

Research Methods to Consider

Recently I re-applied some learned research methods that have opened doors for our family's research.

In hopes of breaking a few more Brick Walls, yes we do have a few.

This is for everyone to become more aware of.  Not just Beginners, everyone, because some times we get excited and forget.

It is not just a Census Record, Birth Certificate, Naturalization Papers, etc that is needed when
researching. Having always said you need to know a bit of History of the area you are going to be researching.

Example: Our Scott researchers learned, besides meeting and recording many families stories
when Mr.  Kenneth  R. Scott researched to THOMAS SCOTT,  he and they got to a brick wall.

Years later, a distant cousin reached me about his book.  After reading his book, I was made
aware there was more to the story.

Pittsylvania Co. Virginia was not an original county.  It had been split from Halifax Co. ,
Va..  THIS HAPPENED OFTEN in the development of our country.


Thomas Scott's Will was in Halifax Co. Va. plus other information.  Alas I have no sure answer as to his parentage.  Believe it when I say they never even moved, the boundaries changed.

Why did I look,  partially because I am a major History Buff, in the back of my mind I was thinking of what George K Schweitzer, Phd. ScD.  reiterated at all of his lectures I had attended.

Know the "History of the Region", your researching or going to research.

It can save hours of researching. My hope is that when a new area arises in your research, you
grab a book or website on that regions early history so you have a better grip  on what and where to look. It can help you to find their Naturalization Papers and many other items that seem  to
be very elusive.

Please click on the join the site link so you can get current information on a steady basis.

It was founded by those whom met in Lemon Grove Library for many years for assistance in your research.

So glad I have known her for 40+ years.  

Having posted about the meetings and the results to newspaper and to the world via my Educational Blog, Facebook, and Pinterest. I also scatter fliers when a facility will take them normally Starbucks and Local Businesses. 

Hand out brochures and society information to people I meet.

Talking about having an evening research event like in the past since so many that work want more assistance. Also encouraging others to use GenealogyWise.com.  We can actually do classes there if they will attend. Gena has approved it but previously  no one came. 

With only three Scholarship people responding, it was suggested by Virginia I just insert the new criteria into the current application and move forward.  Wanting to get it to the High Schools by mid next week.

Finding Help In Strange Places

Finding Help in Strange Places.

Yup, Pinterest is strange to me to locate information but I found a bit this week by accident.

Just like I love FACEBOOK, because of all the groups on Facebook and the sharing they are doing to help each other.  

Facebook  lets me talk to cousins, in Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and all the places our family has taken roots.

Facebook lets us meet new friends and work associates and share data, much like the old Golden gate Forum did long ago.

Many ie most major genealogical societies are on Facebook.  With great results in getting assistance some times faster than contacting the main office.

Wow a lot is coming for us by his hard work.  

Find A Grave  is helpful if they would just leave things stable instead of constant changes.

My favorite all time has always been www.usgenweb.org and www.worldgenweb.org.  followed by Rootsweb.org  .

New ones seem to have surfaced for me.  You may want to try these. GeneaBios  www.geneabios.com

www.accessgenealogy.com         and of course do not forget National Archives  

www.nationalarchives.gov. 

As I said to a friendly acquaintance the other day, I like to grab a Will Book and read all the Wills,

for there is always more than one family member in them books and you can sometime find the missing link.  I like to do the same with Deed Books the same way.  They tell many stories about families you may otherwise miss.
