Since May of 2008, many collections have been deposited in the Genealogy Library Center, Inc. for preservation and eventual public access.\u00a0 It is time to update my list of records.<\/p>\n
I use these collections, all the time, to find ancestors for my clients.\u00a0 And I am amazed at the contents these collections afford me.\u00a0 Watch my KY Blog for examples of the Kentucky state-wide census card index sent to me.\u00a0 Entries not found in other indexes that change lineages!<\/p>\n
During the height of the winter months in Tremonton UT, there is much snow and ice–especially on the nearby mountain roads.\u00a0 So volunteers who come to process these materials take a vacation.\u00a0 I also travel alot during these months, speaking at conferences and seminars and doing field research in libraries, archives, and local cemeteries.<\/p>\n
We’ll be back at work during the summer.\u00a0 In the air-conditioning!\u00a0 Now go figure!\u00a0 At least the roads and sidewalks will be clear of ice.<\/p>\n
