Last night and today, tornadoes and severe weather tore through much of the middle of our country. States impacted were Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. Quad-State tornado I stop to pray for those affected, dead and still dealing with the aftermath of the storm. Please keep them safe.

Ancestry Terms of Service
Have you ever wondered about why Terms of Service, otherwise known as TOS, are a mile long and so confusing that even a lawyer might trip over themselves trying to explain them? I started with Ancestry over 20 years ago, back when they weren’t even a big player. Over the two decades, they’ve purchased multipleContinue reading “Ancestry Terms of Service”
It’s been a long time since I have blogged. If I told you that my first blog was actually a very successful one, viewed in 27 countries, I bet you’d laugh…. but it’s true! You would laugh even harder if you knew the context, or even how it got so big, but no I won’tContinue reading “Email”

Back in 1998 in Chickasaw County, MS I was overwhelmed when I walked into a local library and found books about MY family.

Useful Links
I’m not sure how this particular post will evolve, but I’m constantly looking for a way to organize links, especially with as many webpages as I can hit doing research. Sometimes my memory serves me well as to how to find that one place again and others, well, I am getting older, and my onceContinue reading “Useful Links”
Welcome to Club BLC…..
What makes us the people we are? Nature, nurture, genetics, environment? I’m not sure anyone really knows a definite answer, but I believe a combination of ‘all of the above’ is at play. One specific aspect I have come to know rather well is the genealogy paper trail that is left behinds builds a fascinatingContinue reading “Welcome to Club BLC…..”
