Well, it's been a good couple of days for genealogy. First, MyFamily.com was featured in yesterday's New York Times:
Genealogy for the Living, the Dead, the Far Away
That's the third time genealogy has made the NYT in the last month, for those keeping score. And then today's Wall Street Journal (sorry, but a subscription is required to view the whole article):
Searching for Life's Connection with the Past
This article talks about making a living as a professional genealogist and features Laura Prescott, and also includes Kathy Hinckley, Lou Szucs, D. Joshua Taylor and yours truly. Personally, I vote for roots-oriented articles in every issue of every pub!

Hi Megan,
The WSJ article was pretty good. I quoted the paragraphs about you in my blog, but I left out the "number." Why in the world do they have to do that in news stories?
"History mysteries" is a great alliteration!
Cheers -- Randy

Hi Randy,
You know what makes the "number" worse? My birthday was the day before the article ran (I'm a Columbus Day baby), so had they run it last week, the "number" would have been smaller! Ah, well . . .
Take care,
Megan
