Genealogy Jottings

Seasoned genealogy researchers always advise spending time early in your search seeking out cousins for family information. A couple of weeks ago, my mother’s cousin contacted me after seeing information I had posted on this website. We are now enjoying updating each other after our families lost touch with one another over 20 years ago. This is not the first time this has happened over the years, and I love to get these requests. The more people we have working, the faster the search moves ahead. Cousins often have relevant material (photos, correspondence, Bibles) that passed down through their line. Until you contact those distant cousins, you do not know what treasures you will find.
