Why church records aren’t there
Oct 07, 2008 - 08:12 AM
DearREADERS, For comic relief Ol’ Myrt here reads until she falls asleep. At any given point in time, some three to five books are found on the floor at the side of my bed. I used to put them on the night stand, but when an avalanche ensued in the middle of the night a few years back, I decided to forego the possibility of another rude awakening where ...
Mavericks Can Be Democrats
Oct 06, 2008 - 11:35 PM

He was more interested in keeping track of the land he owned than the livestock on it, Ms. Maverick said; unbranded cattle, then, were called “Maverick’s.” The name came to mean anyone who ...

Old maps online
Oct 06, 2008 - 09:51 AM
From: Dee Whiting DearMYRTLE, Here is a great (free) place to get out-out-copyright maps of places all over the world, as well as photos and paintings. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Old_maps Isn’t that great? I like Italy South 1849 and Amsterdam, Holland. An old map is defined as over 70 years old. Each listing states why it is in the public domain and thus free ...

Meetings in a Virtual World
Oct 05, 2008 - 05:34 PM
While the cost of traveling - even short distances - continues to climb, the costs of communicating online are still very reasonable. With services like Skype , users can talk to other Skype users anywhere in the world at no charge. And, they can even have conference calls with up to 10 people (you and 9 others).

Adventures in FamilySearch Indexing - Week 60
Oct 05, 2008 - 04:54 PM
I am watching LDS Genealogy Conference while I am indexing today. It seems I can't just watch TV anymore without doing something with my hands. It is such a luxury to have a laptop and be able to work on it out here in the living room. I checked the FamilySearch Indexing website for any messages and was not disappointed. October 2, 2008: Access to Indexes and Images All indexes ...

Oct 05, 2008 - 01:00 AM
McCains for Obama share the surname, but not the political views, of the Republican nominee.Sure, old Mac’s got a fantastic last name. True, he’s acknowledged that global warming exists and torture is mean. And yes, he can take six men to the ground using only a shoe horn and length of dental tape.
