Genealogy Jottings

We switched internet providers recently, and during the transition period we were without high speed service for about 3 weeks. Boy did that affect my research! So many records are now online, and I really missed being able to just sit at the computer and go, go, go. So far this year I have been able to dig through Norway’s online archives, to search the BLM’s lists of recipients of government land, to look at U.S. census records, and to contact librarians all over the U.S. for obituaries, all from home. None of this has cost me dime! And then abruptly, I was at a research standstill until our new internet service was installed. Okay, I did use the time to clean up some stuff in the office, but that is not nearly as fun. Now I am back online and back in the archives with even faster internet service than I had before.
