FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
While a directory can often in itself
be a source of interesting genealogical and biographical
information, its chief value lies in its use as an aid to
locating a person in place and time. One type of
directory groups people by a common residence. The
second groups them by a common association or attribute. In
addition, many directories cover organizations rather
than individuals and are sometimes called registers,
catalogs, annuals, yearbooks, or
guides. Whatever its title, contents, or method, a
directory will always list and locate members of a
group.
