Odds 'n Ends

Our Genies Research Group is forming up.  We might change the date to accommodate everyone.  If I haven't heard from you yet, now is the time to reply to this message.

Followup from our last meeting

From Jo:  Judith:  Wasn't there some discussion at a WGS meeting about there being free, volunteer translators through Western?  I thought of that when I read about Margie and her information written in another language.  I agree google translate is likely the quickest and easiest though.  Just adding another potential source, if you don't mind passing it along -- if indeed, I am remembering correctly.  Just an idea. 

Thanks for keeping things going!

 From Judy S:  Correction for the minutes:

I came across historical information on Facebook Group about Border Reivers clan which are not of Celtic/Norse descendants (Scots/English clans) but are what we call Gypsies:

a member of a people originating in South Asia and traditionally having an itinerant way of life, living widely dispersed across Europe and North and South America and speaking a language (Romani) that is related to Hindi; a Romani person.

I am not related to this clan but shared with this thought--if you are Irish/Scottish and your DNA shows a streak of South Asia, this might be the reason.

Today I want to remind you of Thomas MacEntee.  He sends an email just about every day and tries to balance between free stuff, discounts and paid products.  At this link you will find many free resources.  Many are 2-4 page handouts with lots of links.  https://abundantgenealogy.com/free-genealogy-resources/  You can also sign up for his free email at that link.  All of the titles below are links to free cheat sheets.

Please SHARE these 2-sided cheat sheets with your genealogy friends and fellow genealogy society members!
