Genealogy News April 18th-24th

Genealogy News

Last week I posted that it was a MARCH news week – March? Apparently these last few months have just flown by! And now here we are at the end of April. Here’s hoping that our last snow fall was it this past week! 🙂

I’m spending this weekend at the Indiana Genealogical Society conference! I am definitely looking forward to it and am currently at the society meeting typing this up. It’s hard to do this post ahead of time!

ALSO: Don’t forget about the book contest for Dear Mother, Love Daddy!!! Contest ends May 1st! These are two autographed copies as well! Even better!
