I'd like to welcome E.B. Lapointe to the Genealogy Today writing
staff. E.B. will be expanding our coverage by focusing on
Canadian issues in her new monthly column.

)) Ruby Coleman posted The Elusive Maiden Name: "Our female
ancestors bless us with new names, but locating their maiden
names can be frustrating."

)) Bob Brooke posted Preparation is the Key to a Successful
Genealogy Vacation: "Regardless of whether you travel 25 or
2,500 miles to do research, there are many things you should
do at home in preparation for your trip."

)) Lisa Ritter Starr posted Filling in Blanks One Space at a
Time: "Nowhere in adoption do children face more missing pieces
about their lives as they do in international adoptions."
http://www.genealogytoday.com/adoption/puzzle/column/020918.html

)) E.B. Lapointe posted So Where is My Canadian Ancestor, Eh?:
"The country has played a bit of a 'catch-up' game since then
with its records, and only over the past few years has the
country's genealogy societies deemed it necessary to index the
census returns."

)) Deanna Corbeil posted Digging Up Your Roots the "Write" Way:
"Contacting other family members by mail can be a great way to
get family history information. Learn how to write a letter
that'll get them to share what they know."

)) Philip Westwood posted Newspapers in Family History Research:
"Newspapers began to appear in the late Seventeenth Century and
became more widespread in the early Eighteenth Century. From
around 1750 onwards regional Newspapers started to report local
events and references to individuals became more common."

)) Andy Westmoreland posted Filling the Ancestral Void: "My
father had no knowledge of his family. No family history, no
grandparents, no Christmas cards from uncles or aunties."

)) Genealogy Today, in cooperation with Genealogy Works,
announced the release of a new instructional package aimed to
help genealogists with online and offline research. Genealogy,

resources.

)) Genealogy Surveys
We have developed the following anonymous surveys in an ongoing effort
to better understand the needs of genealogists. Please take a few
minutes and share your thoughts

)) Not Just Links! The New Symbol of Trust...
We developed a list and corresponding symbol to help researchers
identify genealogy sites where the majority of their pages contain
real content (e.g. transcribed cemeteries, census records, passenger
lists, etc). If you believe your site qualifies, visit this page.
