“Document” can be a noun or a verb and, as genealogists, we should be using it as both! Perhaps this week you share a neat document you’ve found or write about your efforts to document an ancestor.One of my favorite sources is the pension file. I have a copy of Continue Reading

Posted on December 8, 2021January 10, 2022 by Diane Faulk
