Google

Hi everyone. 
Becky Bennett and I were in John Bray's Google class yesterday.  Found out about two options in Google you might want to explore:  Books and Utube.  If you log into Google from your browser and click on the last option across the top "More".  At the bottom of the list is another "more" option. Choose Utube or Books and type genealogy in the search box at the top.  There are lots of choices under each. Utube videos are free; some books are free some have a cost.

Worth exploring (if you have some time)

Several people were talking about naturalization records today.  Here is a link to a list of searchable  naturalization records-not all are free.  Some are free to search, but not to see the actual document.

Just wanted to let you know, that recently, I attended the Slavic Roots Seminar with Mary Osborne, Jim Gitney, and Bill Adreavich.  Thanks to the Genealogy at Newark Senior Center blog.
     If it wasn't for the blog, I would not have known about the program and that several of our members were planning to attend.  Just one of the advantages of having such a wonderful resource.
     In case anyone is interested, I converted the handouts to PDF files to share with all.
     I will send a series of e-mails, each containing one file, just in case your e-mail client has limitations on the size of files that can be sent.
     Take care and have a good weekend.

Thanks for doing this.
I'm currently working on my father's family.
Locations are Manhattan and maybe Queens in New York City.
Also northern New Jersey.
Is anyone else working on those locations?
