Two More Genealogy Road Trips

I've been feeling a bit guilty because I haven't made any major breakthroughs with immigration research in my family tree.  Several of my lines are once again at brick walls, so instead of dwelling on this, I've been focusing on exploring local genealogy collections.  Last week, I visited the Columbus Family History Center, and today I dropped in at the Edinburgh Public Library. Both have great resources and unique collections.

Three Indiana libraries

Within the past week, I visited the Allen County Public Library, the Fayette County Public Library, and the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library.  The first two visits were for my own genealogy research purposes and the last visit was to participate in the Hendricks County probate papers work session.

Find A Grave = Find Your Ancestors

Ever since I visited Crown Hill Cemetery in September, I have been wanting to discover new information about my ancestors who are buried there.  I also want to share the information about their birthplaces and specific birth and death dates. 

I have been aware of the usefulness of the website Find A Grave for a while, and I know that some of the library volunteers at the Johnson County Museum add photos and contribute information to the records.  After learning from them about the process of getting memorial records transferred to them, I thought that I should give it a try.
