If you research
Newspapers are
always a great genealogical research tool, and they are fun to look at. Bowling
Green State University
U.S. Army Center of Military History has over 600 publications online,
covering most US conflicts, that you can access for FREE in PDF format. You can also order print versions of these
publications.
Surname index for The West Troy [NY]
Advocate, Marriages, Deaths &
Miscellany, 1837 - 1860 is online.
Researching
Catholics or Catholicism? Check out the
online Vatican Library: Catalogues –
Manuscripts page. Though an interface is available in English, the
results are in the native language of the documents found.
When
writing up our family histories, we sometimes seek synonyms or antonyms as we
find ourselves getting a bit repetitious. I stumbled upon Lexipedia, which provides
a neat visual representation of parts of speech and relationships. Image
is an example of the result for “death.”
To be honest, U.S.
Civil War military pensioners living abroad just never crossed my mind until I
read U.S.
Military Pensioners in 19th Century Ireland: A Listing and Appeal. See this list of “220 people who
were receiving money in Ireland as a result of services rendered to the United States military. Based on an 1883 List of Pensioners.
