Articles on Genealogy

 

 

Many of these articles are only some 200 words in length and cover a host of genealogical topics.  A few of the longer pieces may contain images. I am always glad to craft a new article if you have a suggested topic.  Also, I can expand on any of these topics to generate a longer, more detailed article.  You are welcome to use these in your newsletters or other publications.  I only ask that you provide some form of credit or acknowledgement.  Some of the articles are included on this website.  Click on the link to see the article.  For the others, contact me by email and I will send you an MS Word version of the article for your use.
