Hello ,  My name is Bonnie Bolster.

 I have been interested in Genealogy since the 1960’s but more active since 2000. Luckily my Grandparents and Great Grandparents and one Great Great…

Tomorrow night at our Genealogical Society the topic is to do our own obituary ! I have sat down several times over the past week and this is alot harder than I thought it was going to be.   Some were too short and some were way to long.  Then I started to think, ok as a genealogist what do I look for when I read an obituary ?

This afternoon I remembered  that when my father's cousin's wife passed away , you could just tell that whoever wrote the obit  was into genealogy from what was…

For several years I have been searching for information on my Great Grandfather, Horrace H Curran and his wife Marinda.  I believe they were married in 1854+-.  According to 1860 U.S. Census they lived in Town of Chatham, PA and had three children; Silles, Alice and Mary.  My grandfather, John J, was born in 1868 and his death certificate indicates he was born in Lawrenceville, PA.

Its almost as if he fell off the earth after the 1860 Census - I've found no further information about…

Hello,

I am Jake Fletcher, native of Massachusetts, 23 years old. My passion has been genealogy since I was about 17. Having completed my undergraduate education (history), my goal is to publish genealogical research and become a CG. I am looking for advice on the subject.

I am looking for information on Sarah Ann Chriss.  She was born in Jasper County Illinois.  Died there in 1870.  I am trying to find out how she passed away.  She was the first wife of John Fear of Jasper County Illinois.

A couple weeks ago he asked me to send him some more information about my work so I sent him a flyer, and links to several video clips and testimonials. But we never actually had “the conversation” about…
