Genealogy Jottings

A week ago I attended the annual CGS seminar. This year D. Joshua Taylor from the New England Historic Genealogical Society spoke on various ways to find elusive ancestors. He discussed sources to use for American research 1780-1830, and he also talked about using old maps and pursuing family legends. We are lucky in the Denver area to be able to hear regularly such nationally-known speakers. Mr. Taylor, originally from Idaho, is a rising star in the genealogy world. I overheard more than one grey-haired researcher comment how enjoyable it was to get fresh ideas from someone who was young, dynamic, and very computer savvy.
