The Genealogy Squad, a new Facebook group lead by Blaine Bettinger, Cindy Ingle, Drew
Smith, and George Morgan. The mission of the Genealogy Squad Facebook
group is to provide a positive space for the
sharing of appropriate and reliable methods and resources to assist
genealogists at all levels. We focus on answering questions and solving
problems, while demonstrating best practices in all aspects of genealogical
research. It’s a closed group to keep
out the riff-raff. You’ll need to answer
a few quick questions. https://www.facebook.com/groups/genealogysquad
Tip from Sylvia for UK Research: While looking
up some family history I found this interesting explanation about the UK 1841
census. It shows that over age 15, a birth date could easily be (and most
likely often was) 5-10 years off! Take into account illiteracy and those who
probably didn't know their correct age and I can see why dates varied so much
from presumed birth dates and from the 1851 census.
