ONE PROLIFIC BLOGGER
Cousin Russ has been genea-experimenting and
blogging a LOT of good stuff lately! http://ftmuser.blogspot.com/2013/10/ancestry-member-tree-of-ftm2014-media.html

Partnership adds richness to MyHeritage SuperSearch and Family Tree
TANGIBLE MEMORIES
It's not every day Ol' Myrt here runs across such a delightful website as familyhistoryinart.com. Larry D. Macfarlane has taken his family history interest and combined it with his artistic talent to create one-of-a-kind paintings. I have an appointment to meet Larry in person on Friday. I am thinking of having him do a painting of Glen and Blanche's home in Medina, Washington.
SPEAKING OF IMAGES
Why Ol’ Myrt here may have to rethink FamilySearch Family Trees. Someone on
FamilySearch Family Trees shared this picture of my second great grandfather,
William Brockerman Wright, and his mother, Mary Ann (Brockerman) Wright. The
other people in this picture are not familiar to me. Mary Ann died in 1913, and
William died in 1916, so this image had to be taken before Mary Ann's 6 Nov
death.

second “virtual” chapter and Ol’ Myrt here is thrilled. APG:
Why virtual chapters work well
How
to set up the Ultimate Personal Google Maps from LifeHacker. We did this
right after the 1940 census was released. My daughter
Carrie Keele wrote: Not Your Mother's Genealogy: Using a custom Google map to share
your genealogy . But until now, Ol’ Myrt didn’t think of
using my smart phone to access this or other maps.
BLOGS
“This
Stuff Never Happens to Me” by Jenny Lanctot in her blog Are My Roots Showing?
This from
Carol Kostakos Petranek who
is spearheading the scanning at the Maryland State Archives and she is talking
about Shifting
Gears. But... I am sitting on the fence, doing a bit of both. Her points
are well taken!
Elizabeth Shown Mills responds to
Silvereagle5946 who asks
about citing marriage records including Affidavit, bonds, licenses and
certificates. “Cite what you use.” -- Be sure to follow the link Elizabeth includes for
detailed response on her website.
