Mondays with Myrt - 16 December 2013

DearREADERS,
Baby, it's cold outside! Seems everyone in the northern hemisphere is experiencing colder than usual weather. Indeed many, like Ol' Myrt here, are half buried in snowy drifts. So why not stay in, keep warm, and tune in to today's Mondays with Myrt Hangout on Air. Here's the link to the event page over on Google+, where you may VIEW the live and archived Hangout. I'll also post the link to JOIN the panel.

Our topics? As usual we will ask the panelist for their newest finds, but here are a few I'd like to discuss:

Facebook for Genealogists: Threads - by Cyndi herself! Thanks Cousin +Russ Worthington for spotting this!

What if you've got a six month's subscription to a newspaper website. Patricia Perkins asks via the Ancestry.com Facebook group: "Can anyone tell me the historical newspapers what good is it to access it ,and save it to your family page, and then not be able to access it unless you are subscribed .In other words say 6 months when my subscription to historical papers runs out so will my ability to read those articles saved to my Ancestry page."

OK, Ol' Myrt here knows how to "rip" a music CD to my hard drive, but how do I get the song tracks to Amazon Cloud?
