At the beginning of this year, I updated the theme on this blog. Now I have just finished updating the look for my main genealogy site as well. I use TNG: The Next Generation for my site and find it to be a perfect match for what I need in a genealogy program. Up until […]

Earlier today while reading a colleague’s blog, I came across a link to pictures showing some of the devastation from Hurricane Ike. I was moved by many of the pictures, especially these of a cemetery. I’m not sure if both pictures are from the same cemetery, but the second picture is from the Hollywood Community
