Jock Brown’s Ghost

Some five or six miles from the circuit town in the North in which my son practices there is a village which I may name Heather Howe. As a matter of fact the commonty close to the village- a long piece of rocky ground covered with fine grass and furze - is so named by the inhabitants; and as it was on this lone common, and near the old quarry hole, that Jock Brown’s ghost appeared, the name is not so very far-fetched.

Cluster & Collateral Research

I want you all to stop and think for just a minute. Think about all the friends, coworkers, and neighbors you see each and every day. How many of those people will show up on your family tree one day? It's a good question, right. Something we don't often think about. And probably a few of those surnames might pop up in your tree. But, it's important to remember that you're part of a bigger community, one that shapes who you are and the decisions you make, just as much as your blood relatives.

HOW TO: Land Records & Genealogy Research

HOW TO: Land Records & Genealogy Research

Land records are one of the most underutilized resources in genealogy, believe it or not. What once brought immigrants to America, the ability to obtain land, is often completely forgotten in research. Established countries, like Europe, almost all land had been titled for years, even centuries. Laws of primogeniture (inheritance by only the FIRST SON) ensured that properties wouldn't be split up into smaller parcels, but that also meant that other children couldn't inherit the land.

Using U.S. Census Records With No Result Searches

Using U.S. Census Records With No Result Searches

US Federal Census reports are an important part of a Genealogist research. Census were taken every 10 years, providing the opportunity for genealogists to follow families back in time. They would provide locations of ancestors, age information, occupations and geographical data. They also hold clues about an ancestor's educational background, and even military status. So, with Census documents holding so much valuable information... it's so frustrating when you run a name search for an ancestor and you end up with NO RESULTS!
