This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family’s ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.

Researching your female ancestors
Researching your female ancestors
I have mentioned here before that researching our female ancestors has been a priority my wife and I have each had through the years we have been doing family history and genealogy research. We hope you will too!
Today, I'm doing a double-dip with this post. I wanted to be sure you saw the article: "Three Ideas for Tracing Your Female Ancestors" by Gena Philibert-Ortega, Guest Writer, at 'The In-Depth Genealogist: a digi-mag for every genealogist' because it spells out very nicely the approaches we have used successfully over the years, and I recommend it to you, if you are not already doing so.
Secondly, as noted earlier, I've joined the team at The In-Depth Genealogist team as The Heritage Tourist where I will be contributing a monthly column to the digi-mag and two blog posts each month in the spot where Gena's fine article appears.
It is my pleasure to promote the digi-mag and blog, and urge you to sign up, free, to receive this useful and interesting information on a regular basis (if you have not already). You can sign up on the right sidebar on the page that opens at the link, above.
Families are Forever! ;-)

HI Bill,
ReplyDeleteI have been following the group and your stories. I just do not post comments daily. Sometimes I have more luck with females other times I am really mired in the muck. One is the MADISON ancestor I recently blogged about. Thanks for all your writing.
Thank you, Susi. I really appreciate your comments. You are a very loyal follower! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for mentioning my blog post. I really appreciate it.
I look forward to reading your posts on IDG.

Thank you, Gena. It was a pleasure. I like to recommend articles that are meaningful to me - and have it be in IDG was as nice bonus! ;-)
