Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Plans to Travel for Onsite Genealogy Research

It's Saturday Night -

time for more Genealogy Fun!

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:

1) Do you have plans to travel to do onsite genealogy research? [Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for suggesting topics!]

2) Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.

I don't have many plans to travel to do onsite genealogy research in the near future.

If I could go anywhere, I would love to go to Illinois to meet Jennifer Holik. We made a connection and I see her as a mentor.

I would go to New York to research my NY ancestors and to solve mysteries. I would go to the National Archives in St. Louis and in Washington D.C. to gain military records for my ancestors.

On my mother’s side there are possible traces of English ancestry. If I can prove this, I would like to go to the ancestor’s homeland (town) in England.

These are all the trips that I would like to go at the time of writing this post. This list will likely change - the more discoveries I make.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's Saturday Night - time for more Genealogy Fun! Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to: 1) We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research. 2) Which ancestors would you like to talk to?
