 Research Tips and summer review

We had a great first meeting after summer and learned what other genealogists in our group had been doing with their research discoveries.

Our Main topic was Research Tips, the replay is here: Click Here

Brenda Larsen introduced us to a new society that just started: Descendants of American Prisoners of War: https://dapow.weebly.com/

We talked about North Carolina Research (the Genealogy Website spreadsheet has been updated).  A fun story telling site for Appalachia is: Blind Pig & the Acorn.

I have also created a new category in our Genealogy Websites called : Women, where I have added a number of great websites for finding your Female Ancestors.

Michelle suggested several good books "Bound Away" and "Viking Heart".
