This will be my first genealogy conference/fair that I've ever been to and I'm looking forward to going. I picked it because a friend of mine is going, the sessions had a mix of online genealogy and offline records classes, I'm local to the area so I don't have to depend upon paying for lodging, and the fee ($50 for registration before April 21st.) was reasonable enough to be a birthday present. Anybody else planning on attending?

Records and Research: Edith Elizabeth Eckard (No. 5-9)

This series began with a randomly selected document that contains genealogical information. I will then take that information and outline what we can learn from the document and what I would do next to find more information on the person involved.


Previous parts in this series can be found here: No. 1, No. 2, and Part 3-4.

Resource: St. Louis Globe-Democrat Clipping File Collection

Since I'm still feeling pretty bad, I'm not going to be posting the Season 1 Episode 2 review today as I intended. I will get to it as soon as my head stops hurting so much. Hopefully somewhat normal service will resume soon.

St. Louis Mercantile Library

This is a searchable clipping collection that was compiled by the staff of the St. Louis Globe Democrat of their newspaper from the 1930s to 1986 and is made available through the St. Louis Mercantile Library at UMSL.
