When I was at the National Genealogy Society conference in Phoenix recently, I was given a daily calendar with different genealogy information for each day. Some of these are software tips, technology tips, etc. all pertaining to genealogy. If you wish, I will share some of the better ones. They may not necessarily pertain to only Effingham County, but your general genealogy research as well. "When publishing a query to a message board or a mailing list, make sure the subject line has enough information to effectively market/advertise your query. Effective subject lines include: 1) Name(s)/subject; 2) Time period; 3) Location. For example: Lorenzo D. Brown, 1822-1918, Venango County, Pennsylvania." "The American Genealogical-Biographical Index is an index for millions of individuals. Many of the indexed entries come from pre-1900 family histories. Other records include the Boston Transcript, the complete 1790 US Federal census, and published Revolutionary War records." "The 1900 US federal census was the first to list the number of years the couple was married." "Cluster genealogy solves brick wall problems. Your ancestor traveled with in-laws, friends, and business associates. Learn where they came from - perhaps your ancestor came from the same place!" "Topographical maps display information about features of the land: roads, valley, rivers, and hills. They are important for understanding where and how families might have traveled." If you like these, let me know, and more will follow as I see them. Linda Effingham Mailing List Administrator
