I'm jealous. That sounds like a really great project. I, too, am interested in getting into that kind of work. Keep us posted how it goes.

She and her children (ages 19 and 22) think that there are ghosts in the house. The kids says that they have always heard noises in the house since they were very little and neither one of them will stay in the house alone even though they are now adults. They want to know about the previous owners and if any crimes were committed in the house. > > Okay, even though this is a bit weird it is timely. I have been wanting to do a little house history genealogy. I have only done the history of one house. We lived in an 1830 house in Maine and I just had to know the history of the house so I researched that one. I have been reading some of Marian Pierre-Louis' stuff as well as the books she recommends. I recently wrote a blog post on this subject and then this client shows up today so I am thinking this is a sign for me to do another house ☺ Maybe the ghosts are reaching out to me ☺ ☺ ☺ > > Michele > > > The Transitional Genealogists List was created to provide a supportive environment for genealogists to learn best practices as they transition to professional level work.

I really envy you. Sounds like a fascinating project. Eileen _______________________________ Eileen A Souza, P.L.C.G.S. Eldersburg, MD Old Bones Genealogy LLC info@oldbonesgenealogy.com www.oldbonesgenealogy.com

Oh, my goodness, you all need to work in a library. We get this kind of stuff all the time. The people aren't generally willing to slog through the city directories, deeds, and obituary indexes themselves though.
