I'm converting my articles into longer articles available through Amazon.com. If you don't find one you recall being here, it has been incorporated into a Kindle article. You can obtain a Kindle app through Amazon for the PC, MAC, iPad and most phones.
Included here are a wide variety of topics and subjects to help you in your Genealogical search. The primary purpose was to provide resources and ideas to allow you to make your ancestors real people, rather than just a name and date on a chart. Please, let me know if they are useful!
Putting Flesh on the Bones: Bringing Your Ancestors to Life
Available on Amazon for the Kindle and Kindle Reader Applications.

Many of the following articles were originally written for Suite101 under a variety of Topic headings including North American Genealogy and Genealogical History. For some reason they ended my ability to edit and access, or even write new articles. I have modified and updated many of them since that publication.
