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.

Indexing is one way everyone with a
computer can give back. It is easily done and no special skills are needed, other
than reading sometimes old script or faded records. It is fascinating to read
some of the records you come across. You get to choose what records you want to
index, and there is a good support team behind you if you run into a snag. Try
it!!

I like Anne’s style of writing. She is very
descriptive!
This goes to show that you can find information in unlikely places. Who’d have thought you can find a research guide for Guadeloupe on a blog from France?

Excellent reminder! If the heirloom was not made by an ancestor,
you can still write about how they came to possess it and why it was so precious to her/him.

This is one thing I have yet to do, since I live far from any archives I need.
It is time for me to dive in too, perhaps by email! These tips will come in handy.

John’s comment about the baptismal entries stuck with me as I read the entry for a cousin’s ancestor… instead of writing illegitimate as most do, the person wrote “base born”.
It can be anywhere from amusing to hilarious finding skeletons on the outlying branches of one’s tree, but what about when it hits closer to home?

I have never used the Task List on FTM, I
think I’ll start now.
DiAnn is new to blogging this year, check out her other posts with great tips for genealogy research. I especially like the one from September 19th for mapping where all your ancestors lived with My Maps on Google.
