Is all your genealogical research perfectly organized? If you're like most of us, you probably fall short of either what you know you ought to do or even knowing how to organize all those materials you've collected. Dear Myrtle will be posting a checklist for getting your materials organized each month. She's got a lot of great ideas in the January 2009 checklist which she is making available as a downloadable file.

OGS member Margaret Maulin was interviewed by KSMU, the NPR affiliate in Springfield, on Monday. Check out their website for the audio interview and photographs of Margaret's 6-foot ancestry chart. Hover the mouse on the right side of the photo to see the arrows that will allow you to view the other photos in the slide show. Margaret, who is a descendant of Captain Miles Standish, tells what a large number of Mayflower descendants there are. Perhaps with some searching, you might find your roots in Plymouth.

Via Harold Henderson of Midwestern Microhistory: A Genealogy Blog is this valuable link to online city directories:
DistantCousin.com has a bunch of city and county directories online
Most are scanned images, although I found one transcription. Very few places are represented more than once, which means that WHAT'S ON THE INTERNET IS JUST A TASTE, and hopefully it will inspire you to get out more... to actual libraries, that is. Like a census, any individual city directory entry (or non-entry) is subject to error; better to check a few adjoining years for consistency or surprises. One last point -- not all of these scans include the business sections (valuable additional evidence on employers), title pages (essential for proper citation), or the descriptive matter (sometimes useful background). (link to Harold's article)
