The story this month has been one of big growth. As a matter of fact, so much material has been submitted that I am way behind on getting things posted. We would much rather get behind than run out of material. In addition, the number of subscribers to this newsletter more than doubled during that time. Your site has been chosen because of its great benefit to those doing genealogical research.
Poorhouses are a forgotten part of our history.
Ancestors of several genealogical researchers were part of these poorhouses. The Poorhouse Story web site does a wonderful job in educating everyone in the history of poorhouses and researching our ancestors through poorhouse records. The call for volunteers to expand the accessibility of poorhouse records online helps in locating these resources that adds to the real life of our ancestors. You may want to check that list periodically. We don t tell you ALL our secrets.
