Historic Items Stolen in Vermont Recovered

I'm simply passing this along in hopes of helping with the placement of these recovered stolen items back with their owners. I've put the document in my Dropbox account which you can access at this link: http://tinyurl.com/lab6msa  

Thanks for your help!

Websites - Blogs - Facebook Pages for Genealogy Research

Over the past several months, I've collected a list of helpful websites.  It began as a single page list that I used as a handout in my "Genealogy and Family Research" classes.  As time went by, of course, more and more sites interested me and I began to add them to the list.  Lately, a few Facebook pages have crept onto the list.  They're under "Polish Research".  The latest addition is Russ Worthington's blog for Family Tree Maker users.

So I put the list into Dropbox and you're welcome to click this Handouts link and download the list for your own use.

I could also use your help.  If there is a site that you have found to be particularly helpful in your own research, let me know!  I'll be happy to add it and upload the edited list to Dropbox for everyone to share.

I've been using Family Tree Maker for several years.  As a matter of fact, I bought my first edition at Circuit City and they've been gone for quite awhile!  I think I started using it around 1998 and I've bought every update since.  Recently, I've been reading Russ Worthington's blog titled Family Tree Maker User.  There is an amazing amount of information, instruction, tips and other useful information about getting the most out of FTM and with it, many research tips as well.  Click the link or put ftmuser.blogspot.com into your browser!

Genealogy - In - Time Magazine

I want to introduce you to GenealogyInTime Magazine, in case you're not aware of it. It's an online magazine or e-zine that I subscribed to a few months ago. They have offered many great ideas and tips for genealogists at every level.

What got me started on this today was a webinar by Thomas MacEntee I watched earlier this afternoon. He offered about 20 web sites that you'd probably never think of using for your research. I'll post some of what I learned from him in the coming days. I'm trying to finish up some client work and I really should be concentrating on that tonight!

Back to GenealogyInTime.... Today's message from them has to do with searching by country. They'll explain this much better than I can, but the simple version is, using a country or location specific Google search engine can radically change your results. I copied their chart of search engine URLs and put it in DropBox. You can access it at this DropBox link. It's not a very "neat" chart, but the info is accurate, especially if you want a Google genealogy search for the Isle of Man!

The current issue offers 10 "insights" to help you in your research efforts.

Keep watching for some of the Thomas MacEntee data. I can tell you this: I was thinking of what subjects I'd like to cover for a presentation I'm giving to the Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society this November. Thomas MacEntee gave me the answer!!
