Just about the time I think there is actually some spare time for extra genealogy, archive work, other hobbies, or just plain "nothng," I come up with a new project. Now is no exception.
In 2012, I was accepted as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution - something I had put off for many years, much to the disdain of family and DAR friends. At their insistence, I stuck with it, and I've never looked back. And of course the "told ya so" from one and all, remains an ongoing joke.
In recent days, among my many activities (and three other blogs) I began a blog for our chapter, Archibald D. Murphey. We're a small group compared to other chapters in large cities. However, we are a lively and enthused group of ladies, with a look to the future.
Please take a look at the new blog - and I invite you to check often, as I will be updating it regularly.

Free Genealogy Workshop to Discuss DNA
Larry Van Horn Explains DNA Matches
Free Genealogy Workshop to Discuss DNA Tests in Genealogy Research
Local Family Historian to Conduct Free Genealogy Seminar
Genealogists
trace family trees through vital records and historical documents. But most of
you, like most all genealogists, will find like that inevitably the paper trail
eventually ends in a “brick wall.”
Non-paternity
events, such as illegitimate births, adoptions, and name changes can also mean
that a branch you are tracing may not, in fact, be part of your biological
tree. There is a way to conduct genealogy research under such conditions and
thanks to genetic genealogy DNA testing, that break through brick walls and
find the truth.
If
you are interested in genealogy, genetic genealogy testing or have already
testing and looking for more information, then a free genetic DNA genealogy
workshop that will be held on December 8 is a must attend.
Larry
Van Horn, noted local family historian, syndicated genealogy newspaper
columnist, and genealogy instructor/lecturer will conduct this free genetic
genealogy seminar for genealogists on December 8 (Saturday morning) between
9:00-12:00 a.m. at the Moss Memorial Library, 26 Anderson Street in Hayesville,
North Carolina.
Larry,
who has been teaching genealogy classes at Tri-County Community College for the
last 14 years, will present material that will aid the newcomer in discovering
their family's past using this new high tech genealogy tool.
So
if you are interested in researching your past, and uncovering your family's
great American story, be sure to mark December 8 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at
the Moss Memorial Library on your calendar.
