Some random thoughts from me as I’ve pondered this over the past several weeks. Are there any genealogy societies out there that Skype in (or use other videoconferencing apps) to the meeting people who wish to participate but are not able to physically be there?

But, we decided on Tuesday that we’d stay another day. Well, instead of leaving on Thursday, we didn’t leave until Friday. Why? Because
My Genealogy Trading Card
Randy had a cool idea for Saturday Night Genealogy Fun. Our task was to create a Genealogy Trading Card. Thus, I made mine and present it to you. I’ve added it to my sidebar for now – very cool.

I’ve had some difficulty posting to my blog, but it looks like I’ll have success tonight. In my last post, I talked about my research at the Talladega Public Library. After leaving the library on the Monday afternoon of our family vacation, we went back to our hotel, had pizza and relaxed for awhile. After
