Midwife Diary Online

This is very interesting, and a peek into life of the time. All 27 years of Martha Ballard's diary, 1785-1812, are available, plus another diary and even what to do if you have an old diary in your own family. Lots of other info to look over too.

French genealogy

Found an interesting blog, actually from their Facebook page, which basically explains in plain English what you will find on French sites. Also examples of what to click on the page. Since I help a good friend with her French genealogy, I am glad to find more help. There is even a guide you can request that helps with French research. I
am hoping to find some help with a brick wall.

Time speeding by!

Still working on entering data into my Family Tree Maker program. I have so much some dating back to the 1600s or earlier. I keep finding more family members along the way, figure I might need the siblings too to track down documents, photos, etc.

I found some interesting info along the way and for now have access to Ancestry. com to look for more info as I go. I need full world access to get more documents, some of which I have found on other websites though. I have several local libraries that have the library version of Ancestry.com, which has some English and Canadian records. One library has a full genealogy department with a lot of old books from a lot of different state info and published genealogies or local histories. Nothing like stumbling across full family histories from a book about a local community.
