What's New for May 2009
* Added information about the National Registration File of 1940 on NaturalizatonRecords.com Included are examples of the actual forms for men and women, plus typed list of questions asked on both (men and women) as well as links to some online certificates and forms. The forms for the National Registration File of 1940 contained questions about naturalization (when and where) and immigration year if not born in Canada
* Guest Genealogist - Brenda Dougall Merriman answers question on Ask Olive Tree Genealogy a Question
I discovered a new newspaper archive website last week. Maybe everyone but me knew about it but I was very impressed and thrilled by all the information I found on my ancestors in just a couple of days. I am still exploring this site whenever I can find a few minutes in the day
Fun Project to do with Children: One of the items I wrote about last week and which I'm still thinking about, is Making a Genealogy Time Capsule. I have a 3-part series on that idea on my Olive Tree Genealogy blog. To read all 3 parts, just click on the Topic "Genealogy Time Capsule"
At http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/ there is a 3-part series (complete with graphics) on Using Ireland Civil Registration Indexes to obtain Vital Stats Certificates. It's a rather intimidating process so I thought this might be helpful to those seeking their Irish roots. The series takes you step by step through the full process and should be easy to follow for your own Irish ancestors.
See the how-to article at http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/ (complete with graphics) on Ordering English Certificates of Birth, Marriage or Death online. This should help anyone with English ancestors, as the Certificates hold a great deal of valuable genealogical information and are quite reasonable in cost.
