Five Places to Dig Up Family Treasures
Check out this article on about.com
This photo is my most recent "Family Treasure". While researching my Eddings line I found this amazing photo circa 1906, see the covered wagons? Wow, I can hardly believe how lucky I am to find this!

For Thanksgiving I am sharing a website . . . Shades of the Departed
has an article entitled

THE GIFT OF THE PHOTOGRAPH:

UNITING FAMILIES WITH THEIR HISTORY

I really enjoyed the insights in this article! So on that note, I am sharing this photo I recently found on one of my genealogy info sites:

It's been awhile! I've just came across this article about Creating A Family Tree
It is pretty basic with some links to some additional websites . . . enjoy checking it out!

This week the NBC Today show
featured a series of reports where Matt, Al, Ann and Meredith explored their family roots. The guest on Friday, Maureen Taylor gave advice and shared links to several great resources, the obvious of course is Genealogy.com but she also added some sources that are new to me like Footnote.com
and also Genealogybank.com
I am looking forward to checking these sources out this weekend.
I received the photo above by email as a direct result of my genealogy research. The photo of my Great Grandma as a child with her siblings, parents and grandfather (my great great grandfather) is priceless and it came from a distant cousin in California!! Amazing!!
