I am working with one of my cousins and my sister. We are all very interested in searching for our roots. My cousin started working on this genealogy project quite a few years before I got on board. We have a very large Italian family, so this isn’t a project that can be undertaken by only one person. We need help. We have taken advantage of many of the great resources online as well as libraries and archives. I am hoping that this blog will also bring some answers to a few family mysteries. We have relatives that have disappeared from our lives, family disputes, unwed mothers (that was a big deal in the late 1800′s) and many more stories we have yet to confirm as true. <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dawning-genealogy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27352" src="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dawning-genealogy.jpg" alt="dawning genealogy" width="448" height="95" /></a> Dawning Genealogy <a title="Dawning Genealogy" href="http://dawninggenealogy.blogspot.com/">http://dawninggenealogy.blogspot.com </a>Blog type: Family My name is Dawn. I am new to blogging but not genealogy. I want to share what I know with my family and hopefully leave something remarkable for future generations. I also hope to meet others who are researching the same families that I am so that we may share information and learn from one another. My maternal lines run deep in Louisville, Kentucky! The people and families I have been working on for years now are the descendants of William Rueff (c.1792-aft 7 June 1860) and the allied families of these descendants. My paternal lines also run deep and not just in Kentucky but also Pennsylvania, North Carolina, England, and a Caribbean Island or two. My paternal grandfather, William Elmer Williams line is driving me crazy but his wife, Peggy Scott Rich’s lines have been documented very well and goes back to the 14th century. And a very special thank you to Thomas MacEntee for suggesting the name of my blog! <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/geneapalooza.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27371" src="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/geneapalooza.jpg" alt="geneapalooza" width="448" height="107" /></a> Geneapalooza <a href="http://geneapalooza.blogspot.com/">http://geneapalooza.blogspot.com/ </a>Blog type: Humor Exposing the world of genealogy, every Monday/Wednesday/Friday, one panel at a time. <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/in-his-own-words.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27353" src="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/in-his-own-words.jpg" alt="in his own words" width="448" height="121" /></a> In His Own Words: Isaac Newton Carr 1836-1923 <a title="In His Own Words: Isaac Newton Carr 1836-1923" href="http://cmkinhuntercm.wordpress.com/">http://cmkinhuntercm.wordpress.com/ </a>Blog type: Diary, Family, Letters Four years ago I discovered Isaac Newton Carr’s journals. They hold a treasure-trove of names, dates, events and 19th century farm life. Due to the amount of detail, historians and agricultural students have sought out this collection for their own publications. Isaac volunteered for service in September 1861. His first journal entry was dated November 16, 1861. His 1861 and 1862 journal entries were sporadic. Sadly, his 1863 and 1864 journals were lost. From 1865 through 1923 his journal entries were written on a daily basis. They contain his thoughts and actions, initially as a Union soldier. After the war he journaled about his every-day encounters as a father, neighbor, farmer and businessman. Isaac wrote about family members, friends and acquaintances. He documented the births of his children and others, anniversaries and deaths. He kept track of his income and expenses. Most importantly, he shared his innermost thoughts and feelings. Isaac’s sense of humor is evident in many of his passages. Isaac was determined that his journals be kept and he so stated this in his will. After he died, the journals passed from his wife, Margaret, to his son, Dr. Leslie Lewis Carr. When Dr. Carr died, his wife, Lavanda, donated the collection to the Iowa Historical Society. It is my plan to publish many of the more interesting entries beginning with the Civil War in 1861, as time permits. NOTE: No effort was made to correct spelling or grammar in Isaac’s entries so that you can experience it in its original form. <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/keeping-grandma-alive.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27354" src="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/keeping-grandma-alive.jpg" alt="keeping grandma alive" width="448" height="162" /></a> Keeping Grandma Alive <a title="Keeping Grandma Alive" href="http://nancyhvest.com/">http://nancyhvest.com/ </a>Blog type: Family Welcome! I’m Nancy. I’m a wife and a mom and a vegetable gardener, a writing tutor, a writer, and a lover of puzzles and board games, and a Christian. I am also a genealogist, or a family historian if you like that label better! I was bitten by the genealogy bug when I was a teenager. I fondly remember afternoons of sitting at a microfilm or fiche reader at the National Archives in Washington DC, and flipping through delicate, aged documents at several historical societies. I’ve found lost relatives and cemeteries, and re-found some relatives, too. I don’t want my ancestors (or myself for that matter) to become just names and dates on a family tree chart. My goal is make sure that doesn’t happen. I’ll never be done researching, but I’ve ventured into the next stage of genealogy – compiling and sharing all the tidbits of information I’ve learned over the years. Not just the names and dates, but who they were and what was important to them. I hope you’ll join me, whether you are in research mode, sharing mode, or a mix of the two. I’m sure we can learn from each other! <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/under-the-nut-tree.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27360" src="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/under-the-nut-tree.jpg" alt="under the nut tree" width="448" height="78" /></a> Under the Nut Tree <a title="Under the Nut Tree" href="http://underthenuttree.blogspot.com/">http://underthenuttree.blogspot.com/ </a>Blog type: Family Hello! And welcome to my first post in my new blog! Even though this blog is genealogy-focused, I thought I’d start out by introducing myself. I am an avid genealogist- even though it’s not my profession. I have been researching my own family tree for about 6 years now. It started with one page of names- a pedigree chart of my dad’s side of the family, and I think it went back maybe 3 generations. Now, after all of the research I’ve accomplished and adding a whole new family by getting married, I have over 13,000 people recorded in my Ancestry.com account! Family is very important to me. I am the wife of a wonderful, loving husband (Jim) and the mother of an adorably lovable son (Jack) and a six year old lovable puppy (Roxy). They are my world. (We also have 3 very shy fish!). Outside of our little fortress here in Fort Collins, I also have a large family back in Arizona- including 4 sibs and 13 nieces and nephews! Aside from taking care of my baby boy Jack and looking up dead people, I really enjoy writing, bike riding, and watching movies! © 2014, copyright Thomas MacEntee </div><a href="http://geneabloggers.com/genealogy-blogs-28-june-2014/">New Genealogy Blogs 28 June 2014</a> is a post from <a href="http://geneabloggers.com">GeneaBloggers.com</a>.

This soap opera was completely different from all others because it featured vampires as main characters and had a dark, Gothic feel to it. The show focused on the Collins family living at Collinsport, ME, particularly Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid), a 200-year-old vampire. Other cast members included David Selby, Kate Jackson, Lara Parker and Jerry Lacy. Action shifted between the 1800s and the 1960s.

The melody of probably the most often sung song in the world, “Happy Birthday to You,” was composed by Mildred J. Hill, a schoolteacher born at Louisville, KY, on this date. Her younger sister, Patty Smith Hill, was the author of the lyrics, which were first published in 1893 as “Good Morning to All,” a classroom greeting published in the book Song Stories for the Sunday School. The lyrics were amended in 1924 to include a stanza beginning “Happy Birthday to You.” Now it is sung somewhere in the world every minute of the day. Although the authors are believed to have earned very little from the song, reportedly it later generated about $ 1 million a year for its copyright owner.

At the 1932 Olympic Games, she won two gold medals and also set world records in the javelin throw and the 80-meter high hurdles; only a technicality prevented her from obtaining the gold in the high jump. Didrikson married professional wrestler George Zaharias in 1938, six years after she began playing golf casually. In 1946 Babe won the US Women’s Amateur tournament, and in 1947 she won 17 straight golf championships and became the first American winner of the British Ladies’ Amateur tournament. Turning professional in 1948, she won the US Women’s Open in 1950 and 1954, the same year she won the All-American Open. Babe also excelled in soft-ball, baseball, swimming, figure skating, billiards — even football. In a 1950 Associated Press poll she was named the woman athlete of the first half of the 20th century.

(It is recommended that you access this post from the mobile device where you want the app installed and then follow the instructions). Then you can go to the Kindle Store and activate your device per the instructions and begin downloading Kindle books. Remember that there are many FREE Kindle Books (see below) and that you can also import certain types of books from Google Books and Internet Archive (also see below). <h2>How I Use Kindle for Genealogy</h2> <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/kindle-app.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-27338 size-full" src="http://geneabloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/kindle-app.jpg" alt="Thomas MacEntee's Kindle App" width="640" height="374" /></a> The image above is a screen capture from my own Kindle App on my PC desktop. The fact is, I don’t own a Kindle device because I feel I already have too many devices between my laptop, my iPad and my iPhone. So why not enable these devices so they can access my Kindle books? That’s why the Kindle App is so important. If you take a close look you can see I read books on social media, business, creativity, entrepreneurship as well as genealogy. Many genealogy books like <a title="Advanced Genealogy Research Techniques" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DRC963K/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00DRC963K&linkCode=as2&tag=geneabloggers-20&linkId=6W7KIQYMNBXXT3EE">Advanced Genealogy Research Techniques</a> by George G. Morgan and Drew Smith are available in Kindle format. Another trick: if I can download the EPUB format of a public domain book from Google Books or Internet Archive, I then upload it to the Kindle App . . . like <a title="The History of St. John's Episcopal Church, Monticello, New York for One Hundred Years, 1816-1916" href="https://archive.org/details/historyofstjohns00stjo2">The History of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Monticello, New York for One Hundred Years, 1816-1916</a>. This way, I have it accessible on my iPad or other devices and I consult the book while on a research trip. I can even access <a title="Thomas MacEntee genealogy books" href="<a%20target="_blank"href="http://www.amazon.com/associates/AppDownload/?ref=assoc_tag_ph_1402131685749&_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=pf4&program=1&tag=geneabloggers-20&linkId=UQIECHWBOUZH6P26">Amazon.com - Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Devices</a><img src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=geneabloggers-20&l=pf4&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />">my own books</a> by uploading the EPUB file to the Kindle App. The fact is, with the Kindle App, you can transform your tablet computer or other mobile device into a genealogy resource center. No more copying PDFs or ebooks to flash drives which then get lost. Also, you can instantly make purchases through the <a title="Kindle Store" href="http://www.amazon.com/kindle-store-ebooks-newspapers-blogs/b/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&node=133141011&tag=geneabloggers-20&linkId=JZSF7YWYTD66YMZ7">Kindle Store</a> via the Kindle App just as you would on a Kindle device.
