Researching American Indian Genealogy [Posted by Diane Haddad & The Family Tree Magazine Staff] Do you have American Indian ancestry? Many genealogists believe they do and want to find out for sure. Others know they do but don't know how to research those ancestors. Now's a good time to look for resources: November is National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. In 1915, Rev. Sherman Coolidge, an Arapaho and president of the American Indian Association, declared the second Saturday of May as American Indian Day and appealed for recognition of American Indians as citizens (Indians were recognized as citizens in 1924).

Creating a 1940 Census Index http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/insider/2011/11/08/CreatingA1940CensusIndex.aspx

I had a phone call today from Janice Palmer. I believe she took over the genealogy column in PNJ after Dot Brown. She visited the new WFGL for the first time and was very impressed. She was assisted by one of our volunteer and enjoyed working with her immensely. Good going all you folks volunteering at WFGL.

UpFront with NGS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Southern GA Newspapers Online Posted: 02 Nov 2011 05:00 AM PDT  The Georgia Historic Newspapers Collection (part of the Digital Library of Georgia) has a nice South Georgia Historic Newspapers Archive. The South Georgia Historic Newspapers Archive spans the years 1845-1922 and includes the following titles: Albany News, 1870-1883 Albany Patriot, 1845-1866 Americus Times Recorder, 1881-1921 Sumter Republican (Americus), 1870-1885 Thomasville Times Enterprise, 1873-1922 Valdosta Times, 1908-1912 You can browse by title/year or year/title or search in various ways! Newspapers for this time period can so enrich our genealogical research into our ancestors, especially for that 1880-1900 time period where with the almost complete loss of the 1890 census, we can often lose track of people for 20 years! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ copyright © National Genealogical Society, 3108 Columbia Pike, Suite 300, Arlington, Virginia 22204-4370. http://www.ngsgenealogy.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Republication of UpFront articles is permitted and encouraged for non-commercial purposes without express permission from NGS.
