Recently went to Wilmington NC to their local historical collection in the downtown library.  They have a subscription to Footnote.  Its a nice database with things from the civil war, census documents and for some states naturalization records.  You really should check this out at a library near you.  I found my grandparents naturalization paper, and consequently I know now where they were born.  Thanks Footnote.

I’m often not sure what the age range of my readership is, but probably most of you are not too young to remember the old-style accordion photo wallets that people (primarily grandmothers) used to keep in their purses before the advent of digital devices that not only make phone calls, but serve as virtual luggage for all of our digital data, including photos.

I am working on my marketing plan for gsgenealogy and next month the business plan is due.  I took a SBDC course in developing a Business Plan but there were no sample plans for Genealogy research available from the resources they provided.  The template they provided was a useful tool to begin the marketing plan.

So far the user interface is REALLY clunky and very non-intuitive.  I very much do not like having to use my name and identify my location.  I have nothing to hide, but this blog has no reputation that I've heard of, it just happens to be convenient to my course.  My blog is on LiveJournal, and likely to stay there.
