A Meeting with NARA about digital records access

I heard about this workshop through one of my husband’s MIT alumni networks, and then I heard again from Kate Theimer of the Archives Next blog on Twitter.  She wanted to know if anyone was going to the discussion, and I decided “Why not?”  Perhaps someone from the genealogical community should be there, listening in.  I love going back to the MIT campus, and the subject was right up my alley:…

Consider The Source from Ancestrel readings Magazine 2000

 Consider removing your SOURCE CITATIONS when you share.

Digital Mourning – Grief In The Online Age

I have talked a lot on my blog and on Facebook about how the digital world has changed our relationship and concept of memoir. With each national disaster, we turn to Facebook, Twitter and other online websites to find out what happened, then understand the impact and finally to share our upsets and grief. We mourn publicly in a way we couldn’t have imagined only 10 years ago.

MacCarthy Cremeen sept

Cremin- The ancient genealogies indicate the origination of the MacCarthy Cremin sept in the 14th century arising from a birth to Donal Glas Mac Carthhaigh (or his son or brother Diarmuid) and the daughter of an O Cruimin. So, although an O Cruimin male family name was extant at that time, Cremin (or variants thereof) is well known to this day as a McCarthy agnomen.
Ó CRUIMÍN—O Crumyne, Crimmeen, Cremeen, Cremin, Cremen, Crimmins; 'descendant of Cruimín' (diminutive of…
