Kristin Netterstrom writes in the The Morning News (Arkansas) that the Bentonville Public Library has received a nice donation from the Northwest Arkansas Genealogical Society. The donation covers a lot of things that are of interest to genealogists researching that area of Arkansas.
I saw over at Eastman’s the sad news that Robert F. and Shirley B. Goerlich were murdered a few days ago. Shirley was a well-known genealogist who had worked on many books concerning genealogy research in the New York area.
Roxanne Moore Saucier has another great column in the Bangor Daily News (Maine), Be wary of ‘unsourced’ material on Web that reminds us all not to take everything we find on the internet at face value.
Aileen M. Streng has an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch (VA), Genealogy began as hobby, became more, about a great grandson finding and proving his great grandfather’s grave and making sure that it would be properly marked.
Recently I mentioned that George G. Morgan’s ‘Along Those Lines’ column moved off of Ancestry.com and over to his own blog, and that he was free to comment on anything and everything. I misrepresented an article he wrote about genealogy rights, Ancestry.com, and government records (i.e. government restrictions on records).
There was a very good reason why he wasn’t able to write about the issue in his column, and he’s offered his thoughts and a correction of my perception in a follow-up comment here at RandomGenealogy.com
