We usually call our background a heritage, which usually combines both to some
degree or other.

In our local historical society, there was a torn picture of militia in my

The M number I found on the rootsweb back issues were for Savage and Powell.
But the unexplained reference number used was "M#123" (where I am making up the
digits, having forgotten what they were). Very m

"Pedigree chart" is a common term these days, as is "family tree,"
which sometimes contains relatives who aren't ancestors.

You can count the generations since someone changed nationality.
But one cannot change ethnicity, so ther

It was FRACTAL. And it was up there among the better typos I've seen lately.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it an 8.

That all depends on the responsiveness of the owner of the page.
Several years ago, I moved my web site. I kept the old account
for about 4-6 months, trying to identify all of the places that
were still sending people to the old address.
At least one of those sites was run by someone who never responded
to email and (as far as I know) never updated the page that p

I did a bunch of genealogy work a while ago, and then let it sit
for a couple years. In the last few weeks, I've been trying to
get back into the swing of the work. Last night was my second trip
back to the FHC trying to dig into my standard dead ends.
There are two "dead ends" that I have on my mother's side, both
from New York and both around 1800. I have so little information
on them that it has been easy to commit it all to memory as well
as the database/notebook records.
Last week, I dug through t

When I first read this, the M number rang a bell, and a strong bell at that. I
struggled to remember what M numbers are among my own things. Then I realized,
my driver's license number looks just like your reference document number!
Yep, M followed by a string of digits. That's w

If so, that Civil War-era ancestor may have been aboard the steamship Sultana
when it exploded and sank 9 miles north of Memphis, TN on 27 April 1865. Nearly
1,500 of the 2,300 aboard ultimately died and----except for obscure National
Archive military records----most until now have been virtually unknown and
"lost" today to modern genealogists!
But no longer!
