In order to put the "final touches" on your genealogical research, you've asked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA confirmation! Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogical records are stored. You decide to take a two-week break from your genealogy work, and the U.S. Postal Service immediately lays off 1500 employees. During an ice storm and power outage, you ignore the pleas of your shivering spouse and place your last quilt around the 1886 photograph of dear Uncle Augie. A magical genie appears and agrees to grant you any wish, and you ask that the 1890 census be restored. courtesy of the Furnas County (Nebraska) Genealogical Society. Also, this tip: Jeff Meyer of Fayette County, Illinois, found when having difficulty reading old gravestones, by shining a flashlight at night at just the right angle he was able to read them.
