Fellow genealogists- It's hard for me to believe it myself, but I have finally learned to blog. Because my husband's family had deep roots in Smithville, and because I work at Red Men Hall twice a month to open the Museum and History Center, my first blog is all about Smithville and its past and present. You can access the website at www.SmithvilleNowandThen.wordpress.com. It is my intention to post to the website at least once each week. One of my favorite blogs is that by Judith Russell. On July 29 she posted some new information about Social Security Numbers as it relates to research done by genealogists. You can check it out at www.legalgenealogist.com. Happy researching.
