New Resource

 Today, I was lead to a new resource that should keep me busy for a long, long time.

Ancestor Hunt is a free web site that provides links to a variety of resources and records important for family history research.  Some are better than others.  I just spend about an hour looking through quite a few church records and found a few things.

I recommend taking a look at the web site to see if there's anything there for you.

That's it; just a quick note to let you know about this resource.

Enjoy!!

Ebay and family history

Ebay can be a source of interesting family history treasurees.  Think about it.

There are bibles, photos, postcards and a variety of paaphernalia.

I last bought the following from a book on the history of Onondaga County:

I'm conducting a One-Name Study on the Wormuth family, with variant spellings.  I don't know if I will find a family connection or not but it will illustrate and enhance the Study's blog.

I've found photos and various things that provide tiny clues for various branches of my family tree.

I bought this wonderful photo years ago:

Amanda Mattice

She's not a relative but I rescued her photo and will send it to anyone who is related to her.  I did the same with this photo and this is actually my Great Great Grandmother, Mary Jane Hogancamp.

So, if you like collect things, and you're interested in family history, you can sometimes find things on Ebay to satisfy both interests.

Have a good day.

                      

Long time -- But I'm not finished

I can't believe it's been so long since I wrote a post to this blog.

But I've been busy; getting poked and prodded, examined, x-rayed, biopsied, cut and irradiated.  The worst is over; I'm in remission and feel fine.  The second round of treatment begins shortly for a prolonged period to try to prevent the cancer from returning.

I'll see.

I've been working on the family histories, on and off, the whole time.  Now I'm trying to get my focus back and put in a regular schedule with blogs as something interesting turns up.

There are several One-Name Studies going and a One-Place Study.

This is going to be a quick note just to let people know I'm still at it.  There are lots of branches on my tree and I'm related to all of them so they all get attention from time to time.  

Definitely visit my WikiTree tree where a lot of the activity takes place.

See the side menu for links.  Thanks for visiting; leave a comment.
