In less than one week from the day we received the keys to our mother's home we have emptied it and it is up for sale.

All the years of training and education in genealogy research have proven invaluable in navigating a very challenging path.

Mother's Day Serendipity Find
This past weekend Mocavo offered free access to their records, and having never used the website, it was time to give it a try. My test subject was Daniel Tidd, my favorite ancestor for such work. There were 223 results and looking over them page by page many were repeats or various pages from the same works. Two in particular found in NEHGS publication XIV and a Lineage Book will be investigated more fully today.

Mastering Genealogical Proof - APG Discussion Group

Eight of us jumped at the chance to meet weekly to discuss the book, chapter by chapter. One did have to drop out after the first week, but the rest remained steadfast, with very few missing a week.
