We returned last night from Fort Lauderdale, where it seemed that our internet connection was too slow to load our blogging site on Dick's notebook. I will be posting thoughts and ideas from our four days of genealogy classes this week.
Maureen Edwards was also in attendance and we had a chance to visit with her several times. She was particularly interested in the classes involving research of those elusive women in our ancestry. Maureen also had the same problem as I did: selecting new books but keeping in mind that we were traveling by plane!
I did pick up a few items for the club library, including two new Quick Sheets. "German Genealogy Research" was written by Ernest Thode, who used to write the brick wall column for German researchers in the old Everton genealogy magazine. Also new is "American Migration Routes, 1750-1800" by William Dollarhide, a recognized expert on the topic. If you have early ancestors who migrated west, those early roads are helpful in figuring out their routes.
