Genealogy Club News: November 16

November 14 Workshop

We covered a few suggestions for getting started in genealogy followed by a short demo of the Family Tree section of FamilySearch. New members spent time with Maureen and Carolyn.  We were also able to match two researchers who have a specific interest in Scotland.


FindAGrave

Have you visited www.findagrave.com lately? The website was recently purchased by the subscription site FindMyPast, and they have since changed the look of the site considerably. I am not sure it would be considered an improvement! Take a look and let us know what you think.


Occupations website 

Trish recently sent a link to a website that provides names and definitions of old occupations. Here's her note: "thought you might like to see this interesting site that provides the names of old occupations. http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/    Who would have known that a Brideswell was a keeper of the gaol!"
