Genealogy HowTo - LESSON 1 Solving Genealogy Problems Using Traditional, Internet and Computer
Sources/Methods
By Karen Clifford, AG, FUGA
The Olympics just ended in Salt Lake City, where we witnessed teamwork in motion -- a wonderful
thing to watch.
Teamwork in research can also be successful if family members (even internet families you meet
on the web) can divide
up the work according to their unique abilities, talents, tools, and experiences. Watch what
happens when our
"genealogy" family gets together.
Ask Us - What Do You Mean February 1752 Never Existed?
The fact is that January 1, 1752 through March 24, 1752 never existed in the calendar of Great Britian and its
possessions, including the American colonies. And even more bizarre the dates September 3, 1752 through Sept 13, 1752
didn't exist either.
