Genealogy Jottings

A giant in the genealogy world, Colorado’s own Birdie Holsclaw, passed away yesterday after a year-long illness. She was the second Certified Genealogist ever in Colorado, and she knew so much! I served on the Board of the Colorado Genealogical Society for many years with Birdie.  She was highly interested in technology and even back then was the only one at our Board meetings with a Palm Pilot. She convinced me to begin using the complex Master Genealogist software after I had used Family Treemaker for many years. In many ways she was the Colorado Genealogical Society, and we have all missed her bright face over the past year. RIP, Birdie.
