223 Funeral Cards Added (1900-2000) - This week we added 223 images, ranging from 1900 to 2000, including another set from Canada and many from the 1920's. The Funeral Cards Online index is updated regularly, and now has over 21,100 listings.

Southern Claims Commission Records - Southerners who remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War and who suffered personal property losses, including supplies and livestock, could file a claim for damages with the Southern Claims researcher because they may prove to be one of the only records that can be found on a family when a county was "burned over" or may help you verify a location for an ancestor who died before the implementation of state wide vital registration (death records).

Love and Marriage - Valentine's Day is a time to remember those we love. It's also a good time to learn more about love as our ancestors celebrated it and document the marriages of our ancestors and their kin. The following resources will help you learn more about marriage from a historical prospective and find the records you need to document your ancestor's marriage

When Salt was Worth More than Gold - In 1862, the demand for SALT in the Confederate states reached critical levels and rationing was instituted in many states.

Don't Forget the Local News - Local newspapers may prove to be a genealogist's best friend. People often underestimate the type of information that may be gleaned from newspapers in the past. The papers need to be viewed a bit differently than those of today in order to utilize them effectively.
