What's New

These are the pages I've added or altered (altered considerably, not just corrected a typo or swapped out semi-colons for periods) in the last 6 months.

Added February 2009: Those Elusive Edes.
A detailed description of my search for some people named Ede, with nine lessons learned about finding people on the census. If you are a genealogist, you may find some lessons you can use. If you are not, you will probably find it as boring as a cast-by-cast description of an afternoon spent fly-fishing, to someone who isn't interested in fly-fishing.

Added November 2008: The V-8 Engine of Progress.
The United States is the most innovative nation in the world, pumping out the cotton gin, interchangeable musket parts, the vaccine for Yellow fever, the incandescent light bulb, the assembly line - and My God! In the V-8 engine of progress, we're only firing on four cylinders!
