May 2 - Look for ancestors in other list than US passenger list

May 2 – Maybe your ancestor isn’t on US passenger lists because he came via Canada. See the August 2004 Family Tree Magazine for on border-crossing records called St. Albans Lists.

Today would have been my mother’s 85^th birthday. She has been gone for 10 years and I still miss her every day. I wish I could share my genealogy finds with her or pick her brain for some little bits of information. I guess my conversations will only be through my dreams. Happy Birthday Mom, I hope you are looking down on all your descendants and are smiling.

May 1 - Increase your genealogy know-how

May 1 – Increase your know-how at a family history workshop. A nearby public library may host one or you can chose from the Genealogical Speaker’s Guilde http://www.genealogicalspeakersguild.org/ schedule.

I sometimes look for free webinars on-line. Legacy Family Tree offers many free webinars and I enjoy listening from the comfort of my home. The last one I attended was on Google Plus and I would have never tired signing up for Google plus if it weren’t for the webinar.
