Ever try to get a whole mess of people together in one place? Genealogist Crista Cowan did that -- and she was trying to wrangle a few thousand descendants of one rather prolific family. You can read more about what she did and how she tackled descendancy research in this article: http://www.ancestrymagazine.com/2009/11/ genealogy/when-down-and-out-is-a-good-th ing/

Roots reach to Germany? You may want to look at this new database of personnel rosters for German soldiers in WWI. Lots of great info, or so I'm told -- it's all in German. http://search.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=Li st&dbid=1631&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0

One of the most fun things we've done in a while: we all sat down and determined how far our ancestors lived from one another before they got married, then we compared our data to what professional geographers had to say. Guess what? We all agreed that it's highly likely an ancestor would marry the girl next door. http://www.ancestrymagazine.com/2009/11/ genealogy/a-bride-too-far/

How far did an ancestor travel to find a spouse? The Ancestry magazine staff decided to find out and it goes to show that when you're seeking someone's spouse, searching the census page adjacent to that someone's enumeration is a good idea.

Leamond A. Allen I like ancestry magazine also. I'm researching the Allen, Pulley, Pettiford and Hedgepeth families of Spring Hope, Manning Township, in Eastern Nash County. Thanks for a really great magazine.

This issue's Clued In is one of my favorites, like Scooby Doo, Encyclopedia Brown, and Nancy Drew all wrapped into one. In it, Colleen and quizmasters use a calendar in the background of an old photo to date the image. So now it's your turn: what surprise clue did you find in a photo that led you to the info you were looking for all along? http://www.ancestrymagazine.com/2009/11/ technology/timetoguess/

Roxanne To those that digitize xerox copies of, let say obits, what do you do with the originals? I am trying to clean up my "office" and not sure if after I can them, I should toss them in the trash.

Ancestry magazine Went to a cemetery last weekend with my kids -- just for a history lesson. We weren't related to any of the residents there but had a great time anyway and discovered some great stories. So what's the best thing you ever discovered in a cemetery?

Yes, that's an old cover we're featuring today. With Halloween just days away, we thought it was time to recycle this one. While we had a handful of complaints over the image for our September/October 2005 issue, the article this levitating witch accompanied was great.

Forget about family history for a couple of minutes and let's focus on CANDY HISTORY. I found this article today and thought I'd share, but it seems to me that they're missing something. Where are the Mallo Cups? The Sugar Daddies (add "Candy" if you want to search those online)? Clark Bars and Zagnuts (surely someone'...s from Pgh, right)? Wax lips? Candy cigarettes? And what other treats did they forget? http://lifestyle.msn.com/your-home/seaso nal-crafts/staticslideshowdisc.aspx?cp-d ocumentid=22036530>1=32001Read More

Ever find out your ancestor was less than admirable? Did it bother you, did you embrace it, or was it so far back in the past that it just didn't seem to matter anymore? And why am I asking this? Because of Dale Funston's story about one of his relatives (read it and let us know if you think Ephraim was guilty or innocent http://www.ancestrymagazine.com/2009/10/ genealogy/the-curious-case-of-ephraim-va ncil/
