High Fives - October 20, 2017




High Fives are articles or blog posts I have read during the week that I find interesting, and perhaps are pertinent to my research. Sometimes there are only a couple and sometimes there are quite a few.

Pre-Confederation St. Lawrence maritime pilot certificates
~by Rebecca Murray at Library and Archives Canada Blog
Rebecca tells how to find the records at LAC for maritime pilots.  You may also find them listed in the Sessional Papers
Bosthoons, Looderamauns and Brehenies
~by John at John Grenham – Irish Roots

Track Your Genealogy Finds and Your Searches

More organization tips from DiAnn. I’ve been haphazardly doing something like this for a long time, but this is a better, simpler method to use.

Use the link at the bottom to go to the Glasgow Guardian archives, then choose a date in the left column.
British and Irish Furniture Makers Online
