The new issue of The Genealogical Record (TGR) is now available to both HGF members and non-members to read and enjoy. In addition to two family stories and a research article (see below), the publication includes features to keep you abreast of what’s going on in the HGF, state, and national societies. The longtime HGF member, Alan Leeds, talks with Margie Elliott about his heritage and interest in genealogical research. Members. Kathleen Williams, Kyla Bayang, and Ginny Douglas, share creative ways to engage others in family history. Irene Walters from the Clayton Library guides us in finding information on American Territories before states were formed, and a podcast co-hosted by an HGF member is reviewed. For help with technical issues, part II of an article on online cemeteries adds to your search capabilities, and a step-by-step guide assists you with safely syncing your online and personal genealogical databases (i.e., family trees).
