In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if
there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man’s skin,—seven or eight
ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece
of music which his life is. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hi everyone!
Want a great way to spend 6 minutes and 8 seconds of your day today? Watch the following video on youtube!
The
FamilySearch Research Wiki.... I think the hardest part about it is
getting comfortable saying "wiki" in public! In the FamilySearch
Research Wiki, you can learn how to do genealogical research
or share your knowledge with others. This is a fabulous resource for
beginner to advanced family history researchers. The best part is that
it explains topics in easy to understand language - and they're short
and sweet! Find what you need to know without having to read very long
articles.
Ever wondered when they started
keeping records in Kentucky? Ever wondered how to find
microfilmed newspapers? Ever wondered what Lord Hardwicke’s Act was?
(of course it was passed in 1754 in England, requiring that couples
had to be
married in the Church of England for their marriage to be legal,
regardless of what religion one belonged to...) Check out the Research
Wiki for these and many more answers!
Feel a
little adventurous? Want to skip the video and just type something into
the search box to get started? Here's the homepage for Research Wiki:
Bookmark that page. I promise if you're not thinking you want to find something right now, you will one day!
