Ancestry magazine

That was an interesting article...my great-grandparents, James Morrison and Ann Magee lived a mile away from each other in Belfast, Ireland in 1850, when my great-grandfather emigrated to New Hampshire. My great-grandmother emigrated in 1853, and again, lived a mile from my great-grandfather in Concord, NH where he had found work building stagecoaches for Abbot Downing. They married in December of that year, and you could say he married the "girl who was next door...twice!"

finally got it fri or sat.

Finally got my issue on Sat. Love the magazine!

I put most of my Paper records in a digital folder and then burn a DVD or CD of it, less room and you still have the records........ for me it works, BUT I also still have all the paper records as well. Just keep them more organized .

I put them in plastic sleeves in a binder. Doing that, you can make a note where the digitized version is stored.

Hi...I did the same thing with my hard copies of source materials such as certified copies of birth certificates, death certificates, and obituaries from the various newspapers. All these things are in a big binder in plastic sleeves. I have everything alphabetized by last name. so it is easy to add to someone's records when necessary. It works wonderfully for me. Hope this is helpful.

I found the graves of my birth parents. I was adopted as a baby and never knew them.

In Italy, I found my family cemetery records going back two additional generations!

I loved that cover! The cashier at my local Barnes and Noble liked it, too!

Dale's story is certainly interesting, and a true problem for all genealogists; "Is this Ephraim, my Ephraim?" As for me, I have no qualms finding felons in the family. It's expected, to a point. As is Dale's story, justice was not always justice as we would like to think of it. My own great-uncle Benny was a felon. In & out of three orphanages... Read More growing up, knowing his mom all the while (she couldn't afford them), he held up a grocery store. The judge flat out said he tired of seeing all the Irish trash in his courtroom, and gave him 15 years. Benny was 17 years old at the time. Out in 10, the real world freaked him out, he robbed again, and he was back in for another few. He was a nice guy by the time I knew him, but still, people can be wrong on both sides of the law. 'Tis the world we live in, yes?

It was definitely an interesting story. I don't think they had enough conclusive information to send him to jail. It should have been a hung jury. But I am happy to hear he was paroled so he oculd live some semblence of a life before his death in 1942. Everything seemed to be circumstancial. It is unfortunate that we didn't have fingerprint ...

It goes on the known fact that hair grows at so many inches per month and based on that they can tell how long someone has been poisoned based on the growth of their hair. This would be easy to prove then if they had just gotten the poison for mice, really or if she'd been poisoned over a longer period of time.

Got my magazine yesterday - congrats to Kelly Burgess on another great article on Brides for the New World. Very good reading.
