I just followed the instructions in this video, used the FS Wiki and found an index to a naturalization record I've been looking for the last two weeks!! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Jacquie ... I always figure "information overload" is better than too little! Can you ever have too many resources to explore? Fingers crossed for success in your genealogical journey.
Ladies, this is an EXCELLENT video on ways to find MORE places to look for your family information (especially while we're sidelined from going to archives & libraries by COVID) - I've learned a lot tonight! These "clearing-house" sources have opened a LOT of new "rabbit holes" for us to check out, too! Keep up the good work! And THANK YOU!!
Another thing I discovered was I had several generations and descendants in 1 county. I researched the history of that county and discovered a few of them were instrumental in the development of the township they were in. Another family there were 4 children who died in 1 yr and the mother the next. I discovered nothing about that but the father, my 4th great grandfather, was born the same yr in that town that the British destroyed the town in a last act at the end of the Revolutionary War. It was cool finding tid bits just researching the history of a place
As usual, I’ve learned sooo much about additional resources. Thank you, ladies! And I would watch that channel that you may or may not make together (😉) while remembering my aunts phone number from the sixties! 😆 God bless you both!
Thank you so much for this treasure trove of information! Coincidentally, my Quaker ancestors lived in that part of Virginia. I can't wait to do some research!
Twenty years ago I was researching for a book I was writing on a company founded by an ancestor which was based in Philadelphia. A library in Chicago (I think) had several issues of the company's in-house publication (about 1910 time period). I asked if they could photocopy them for me. They said if I paid to have them microfilmed, they would send me the originals! I did, and they did. ~~ This was a great video! Thanks.
Amazing information. I’ve been researching for some 50 years and some of this is totally new to me. Thanks sooo much. Question: if something is just type written and old in a library no copyright info in it can you post the entire book on a webpage
I'm looking for links for African american heritage. Do your information apply to african american research, we are desperately researching our heritage also.
Connie. My family last name is Knight, which is British. Where do I find forums where I can find others who research my family name and possibly ask them questions? Thank you for your helpful videos.
We have the same phone number at my Mom's house since 1942. She worked for Bell Telephone. It started with Li for Lincoln. Great video, I'm learning so much and getting father then I ever gotten with all the hints.
Great video! I read the comments to find others (and myself) could OPEN the handout to read it on screen but no service I have can open it to save it or print it. Not my printer driver, not PDF Reader Writer, not DropBox and not iFile. On one I could save the url but nothing else. I’m pretty techie but stumped on this one.
When you click on the link... in the upper right corner there is a down arrow that will allow you to download a PDF. From there you can open and print from your favorite PDF reader. It worked for me. Let me know if you're still having problems. Here is the link again. drive.google.com/file/d/1K3owaNlBnSham9fhMWY8CFhINTCWMri3/view?usp=sharing
Genealogy TV Hi and thanks. It worked fine clicking from your link. Not sure why it didn’t before but am thinking I didn’t see the little downward arrow. It seemed to be a Google drive pdf and they usually or often go to my Google cloud drive whereupon I print them. Whatever - it worked dandy this time. Really enjoyed this presentation because I wasn’t aware of a couple of the helpful sites. Thanks!
By the way, Linkpendium was created by the same couple who founded Rootsweb back in the day. They have a Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/50011266879. Karen has moved Roots-L to groups.io. :-)
We had a big down pour of rain today, so I decided to stay in and watch a video... thank you for this one... I remembered something I have done... I like to look online in local libraries to see if they have online resources I can look at... a lot have closed files, but some have open files, where you can look at various resources and copy interesting items from records and newspapers to add to your research.. you have to go in and look at each library website, but sometimes you win and there is some kind of payoff... Years ago I did this in the County seat where my father's family lived in Wisconsin and learned how to search on their website and copy items... later I tried to do it in their home town, but the newspaper was not digitized yet, but I did leave a note to say I hoped they do it eventually... well, a few years later, last year, I went looking at the newspapers there again and found an announcement that the town newspapers are now available for searching... it was such a neat gift that I found on or near my birthday, so I thanked them for a great birthday gift and eventually, I found over 100 newsy items about relatives and other topics of interest in Bloomer, Wisconsin area and Chippewa County, Wisconsin... I love the open libraries who let us easily look at local records and newspapers, without having to travel out there, find local lodging and meals to see their information! - Loren Fay in Albany, NY.

Hi Connie - Not sure this is the correct place to ask this since the video was made in 2020. I LOVE this video - it has fantastic info. I tried to find the handout (#160 with Diane Richard) but couldn't find it in the Community tab. Do you still offer this handout? If so, I'd love to have it. Thanks so much. I enjoy your videos, you do a great job always offering helpful, pertinent and relevant materials. Appreciate you and willingness to share your knowledge.
Hey Henri, sorry for the delay... you got caught in a TH-cam spam filter for some reason. When I have a guest, I typically give away the handouts since the guest created it. Diane was kind enough to have a handout for this one. When that happens you can find them in the description box, not the community tab. Here is the LINK TO HANDOUT: drive.google.com/file/d/1K3owaNlBnSham9fhMWY8CFhINTCWMri3/view?usp=sharing
Historical images are great to add some "seasoning" to your family history binder. I'm creating one now for my mother who will be 75 this year. I'm trying to add images where there are no photos. It's been interesting to see what you can find out there with just a simple internet search. Thanks for another great video!
I would start just by searching in Google for old maps of Belarus. See also www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Belarus_Maps. David Rumsey collection comes to mind.
Another, similar to your term Clearing Houses would be Repositories, where individuals collect information and submit or tag it to a site. Difference being who the information collector is.
I will try to answer brief questions here... otherwise I have coaching options if you want to try that. That way we can jump on a Zoom call, share computer screens and I can see what you family tree. Here is a link with more information. genealogytv.org/virtual-private-coaching/

Yay!
Hello! How are you?
Thanks so much for the handout! It's great for the training I do with beginners.
You're very welcome!
Absolutely another awesome video Connie & Diane! Thank you for information overload! I can't wait to start exploring these resources!
Thanks so much Jacquie ... I always figure "information overload" is better than too little! Can you ever have too many resources to explore? Fingers crossed for success in your genealogical journey.
Connie & Diane - this video is simply stated - A HOME RUN!! Thanks ever so much. I learned so much!! God Bless
Wow, thanks!

Yes! Researching by place if my first stop.
As usual, I’ve learned sooo much about additional resources. Thank you, ladies! And I would watch that channel that you may or may not make together (😉) while remembering my aunts phone number from the sixties! 😆 God bless you both!
LOL. Too funny. Thanks for the compliment.
My parent's phone number was the same from 1962 to the year my mom died in 2011. Hard to forget when it's been in your memory for that many years!
Excellent! I learned SO much. Lots of suggestions for new avenues of research!
Really appreciate all this information - will take a second or third look for me to absorb more than just a fraction of what is included.
Yes... there is a lot there to digest.
Thank you so much for this treasure trove of information! Coincidentally, my Quaker ancestors lived in that part of Virginia. I can't wait to do some research!
Fantastic. Thanks for your comment.
Lots of terrific information, thanks Diane and Connie... worth another watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, this'll be watched over & over!!! Thank you both so much!
Thank you

You would need to look at copyright laws for that specific document you’re talking about.
If it’s older than 1924, then I believe yes because the laws recently changed.
@@GenealogyTV Thanks for the quick answer.
Really 🙄
I'm looking for links for African american heritage. Do your information apply to african american research, we are desperately researching our heritage also.
Yes.
Oh my gosh, genealogical wandering! That's what I do all the time. But I'm beginning to utilize a research plan thanks to this channel.
Thank you Terri.
This is the best video you've ever done!!
Wow... thanks. I'll let Diane know.
@@GenealogyTV Wow seconded! Thanks so much for your kind words Paula. Glad to know we are doing something correctly!
Fantastic information!! Thank you so much!

I love it. The old phone. I remember RI 9. Not sure what the RI meant.
Can you make a video about AncestryDNA new update?, I saw that people was able to check their new updates. My new matches got the updated results.
Stay tuned.
Hi Connie this is ketsamone Rasphone I'm miss my one loved ok but no body tell me nothing so this is Mr thanome Siharath wife
Another wonderfully educational video! Thanks to you both
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Kathleen!
Hi Kathleen
What a fantastic video, excellent !
Thanks!
Great video, thanks for all your wonderful input. By the way, just fyi, Henrico County, VA is pronounc ed Hen REE co.
Thanks for that!
Thank you for sharing! Are there websites you can suggest for Mexico besides ancestry or family search?
Some yes. Go to the family search.org/wiki to learn more about what you can find for Mexican records and research.
This was sooo interesting. The only document that connected my Francis and Leonard Marbury as father and son was a store ledger in an archive!
Hi Linda
Can anyone get access to the digital public library of America? Is it free?
I believe so. Here is the link dp.la/

Orlando still has physical phone books! I still use it.
Good to know.

Most of my family is descended from Poland, I pre WW Russia, Belarus. Any special suggestions for this time period and place.. Maps of that time?
I would start just by searching in Google for old maps of Belarus. See also www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Belarus_Maps. David Rumsey collection comes to mind.

How do I find records of patients from a Tuberculosis Sanitorium in 1895-1899?
I'd check the state archives and the county library where this was located.
I am researching in Madeira and the Azores.
Good luck. Happy hunting.
Great video!
Great video thanks.
Glad you liked it!
What is Miss Diane's site again?
