Comment by Monna-Shaw-Davis-Ellithorpe on November 2, 2010 at 2:12pm: Hello Everyone. It's been about 6 or 7 years since I have worked on my Family research. I'm finding myself getting overwhelmed again with information. I hope to learn from this group on how best to organize, sort through and determine the best way to handle all of the info.

Researching Grove(s), Shaw, McBee, Black, Riley?, Walls, and Stultz in OH, VA, RI, NY, MA, England and Scotland.

This issue has 5 articles dealing with Irish research, 2 on DNA, and researching family history (not just the genealogy) among other articles. Also genealogy events coming up. The August issue of PRACTIAL FAMILY HISTORY (English publication) has an article of what I always think is important, is analyzing data to narrow down persons with a common name & determine who is who. Other articles include researching in London and dating photos.
