Tips for Today:
(These come from Joe Grandinetti’s
article in the Dec/Jan 2021 issue of InternetGENEAOGY.)
Of course,
all your ancestors were law-abiding sorts. But what if they were not? If you’ve not fully documented your roguish
relatives, then you might want to look at Ancestry’s worldwide collection of court, governmental and criminal records. Or click to Cyndi’s List and then the category
of Prisons, Prisoners & Outlaws
(501 links as of Oct 2020).
“We’re no
longer on our own deserted islands of research; the internet has become a
connective landmass for us. As I suspect many of your do, I use social media
(Facebook) for genealogical purposes via liking/following groups dealing with
my specific areas of interest. It’s a convenient platform for education and
information exchange. Expand on this by viewing or joining roots-themed blogs.”
