Month: April 2020

We have added more cemetery records, particularly from Billion Graves and Cemetery Census. We also made some changes to our larger pages to make them easier to navigate. We are now up to 1,060,369 records in our directory!

We have recently added the following learning articles to our site:

• 10 Free Useful Websites for U.S. Genealogy Research There are many free and useful genealogy websites available for U.S. researchers. We are listing here a few of our favorites.
• Y-DNA Testing: The Useful DNA Test You Might Not Be Using Yet Basics of Y-DNA testing
• Brick Wall Ancestor Series #30: Finding the parents of an adopted child born in the 1870s in Ohio Emma was listed in the census in an adopted family and her marriage record listed her as having unknown parents. Birth records, studying the nearby families, and autosomal DNA evidence pointed to her biological family.
• Brick Wall Ancestor Series #31: Identifying the family of a man with a common name There were many men named Charles Miller so it was difficult to determine which one he was. A draft registration card gave clues to identify the correct man.

We added new records from Newspapers.com, the Internet Archive, and records from many public libraries in Massachusetts. We now have 1,015,348 records in our directory!
