FamilySearch<\/a> for more writing ideas.
\nPalatines to America<\/a> had a useful handout containing a What is the Relationship? Form. If you get confused between Great Nephews and 3rd Cousin Once Removed this handy dandy template would be helpful.
\nNational Archives<\/a>\u2019 (NARA) updated handout listed the links to their most used records. I sometimes get lost on their site so this \u201cJust the Facts, Ma\u2019am\u201d was nice.
\nHistory Hub<\/a>, an online site with blogs, discussion boards and community pages for anyone interested in history. That was news to me and a place I plan on checking out.
\nFederation of Genealogical Societies<\/a> publishes a quarterly electronic magazine for only $15.00\/year? That\u2019s just $3.00 per issue!
\new York Genealogical and Biographical Society<\/a> as I want to get back into researching some of my hubby\u2019s Long Island folks. As a member, besides the wonderful journal, you get access to Findmypast<\/a> AND the New York Public Library online.
\nUSGenWeb Project<\/a> had a laminated postcard with the 88 Ohio counties \u2013 very useful for me to track my people from Trumbull to Stark to Darke to Mercer and finally, to Van Wert. I learned from an attendee I\u2019ve been mispronouncing my dad\u2019s birth city my whole life \u2013 Celina is pronounced Seh lie nah and not Seh lee na. Who Knew?!
\nFun Stuff for Genealogists<\/a> had cute t-shirts, inexpensive jewelry, archive materials and historic map reproductions. See their full catalog online. I bought a tree bead and a brass tree charm.
\nOhio Genealogical Society<\/a> gave me a few ideas about my darling Duers who left so few records in their travels across that state. The volunteer even consulted his own resources to see if my folks were named (they weren\u2019t but it was a valiant attempt on his part).
\nMastering Genealogical Documentation<\/em><\/a> by Thomas Jones with the plan on working through it this summer. You can purchase a copy through the National Genealogical Society.<\/p>\n
