#FamilyResearch update. I have just sat in my car with the windows down on this warm Spring morning listening to a CD of great-aunt Andy reading 21 of her own poems. Because in these modern times I've only so many options for listening to a CD and the car was the best one. The poem about Stratton is 16 minutes and 55 seconds long and is called "Where Were You? A Memoir of World War II" and it isn't just about Stratton. It is poem-memoir: vignettes of her memories of WW2 America punctuated with scraps of era-specific songs, sung in her octogenarian voice. It is an experience. Some of the other poems were very good, also.

Today in #FamilyResearch I'm reflecting on women in my family tree that had a third act.
In her 60's my great-great grandma Abbie started a Montessori preschool out of her home, educating her grandchildren as well as many other children. The Montessori method was still brand new and controversial.
My great-aunt Andy took up poetry in her 80's, joining a poetry society and performing poems on stage in at least one event I have discovered. -

When you're doing random research and find a newspaper article about your paternal grandfather being stabbed in the groin by his wife during an argument, and thus bleeding out....
Welp, guess he did die of heart failure in a way. Lack of blood will definitely stop a heart.

I made a listing of the online resources I use in my genealogical research, and more specifically in my research into my family history. I use mainly genealogical sources from Belgium, the Netherlands and France, since that is where my ancestors lived. Maybe it can help you further along in your genealogy!
Would you add another source? Please let me know!#genealogy #FamilyResearch #FamilyTree #GenealogicalSources #sources #archives #geneadons @geneadons

During my genealogy research, I stumbled upon a mystery: a girl who had died at age 3 marries 30 years later at age 33. This is not possible, of course. Discover how I try to solve the riddle of conflicting certificates.

25 Aug 1778 a letter was written by a lawyer named George Reed, agreeing to defend Lofland in his treason case, for $500.00, but reserved the right to deny representation in 'his other case, due to personal concerns and issues.'
Considering he remarried in 1788, his first wife having died in 1781, it appears that he was either acquitted or pardoned.
He died in 1792.

8 Jul 1777, a warrant for his arrest, w/ a $300 reward to any person(s) who could capture him & jail him, was signed by John McKinley & James Booth, Secretary.

Mark is in New Jersey, visiting with his dad.
They're visiting family at the cemetery and he's sending me photos of headstones, which makes me happy. Gives me definite names and dates to research to find out what happened with them.

THE RESULTS ARE IN:
What Software do you use as your main tool for #GenealogyThanks to the 83 people who responded.
It was very interesting to read all the responses. Who knew there were so many options?!
A side observation from this is that the vast majority of people use more than one app. Some are using four. I only recorded their first/primary app here.
