I get several links from TSGS members, SAR/DAR members and from various email lists that I subscribe. I like to share as many as I can on this blog.
Bill Cook had sent me this one of some great Civil War photos in the spring of 2009 and were posted on this blog at that time. My good friend Carol Lantaff just sent the same link to that web site and since it has been almost a year and a half since it was posted, I will post it here again: http://www.mikelynaugh.com/VirtualCivilWar/New/Originals2/index.html This collection of photos are about 150 years old and are quite interesting (see the 19 Apr 2009 blog "For Our Civil War Buffs!").
Past TSGS President Virginia Aldridge sent an update to the Vanderburgh County, Indiana email list for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church Records on her site "The Tie That Binds". This is her links page that has some great research links and other very good links of genealogical/historical interest.
Recently, Jamal Masood (aka CuriousJM), a retired Chief Engineer, asked permission to use a couple of photos I had taken of New Harmony's Roofless Church that was posted on this blog on 18 Feb 2009: From the FIRST MATE's PHOTO ALBUM... CuriousJM has a very neat site "Travelogue of An Armchair Traveller" Visit his site and do some traveling in your armchair via your computer.

From My Email Box - "Links & Other News!"
'
Ohio Valley SAR Chapter member John Van Zandt sent me this info: "This email came to me from the Mississippi Society President on 7-13-2010." Hopefully by this time next year, you will be able to view SAR applications on Ancestry.com. The SAR has signed a contract with Ancestry which provides that Ancestry will digitize and index ALL SAR applications, and will post on their website those applications that were approved through 1970. - Joseph W. Dooley, NSSAR Genealogist General
This is a neat photo gallery that Don Counts forwarded to me: Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog... These images (70), by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color. This is on the DenverPost.com site.
Virginia L. Aldridge sent this via the invander@rootsweb.com email list: Subject: Re: [INVANDER] Browning Funeral Home Records [Her message was in response to people posting that they could not get the Browning Online Genealogical Database to upload.] "I had a similar experience recently. I believe they might have changed the name for the web page, as when I did a Google search I had no trouble locating it. Here is the link I put on my Resources Online page: http://browning.evpl.org/ "
This from TSGS Program Chair Becky West: "Remind everyone that starting at our 14 Sep 2010 meeting, we will begin the meetings at 7:00 PM this is one half hour earlier than it used to be... this is the new time as voted into practice by the TSGS members."
Deborah Hull sent this via the MyFamily.com site - Our Breckinridge, Hancock and Ohio County Cousins: "Found this at Access Genealogy." http://www.accessgenealogy.com/worldwar/kentucky/breckinridge.htm
Access Genealogy claims to be the largest free genealogy web site not owned by Ancestry.com! And it has some great data... check it out.

Brief Genealogical Notes
How many of you knew that Ancestry.com was actually The Generations Network? Well, that was the name of the parent company, but they have decided to go back to the name Ancestry.com since that is the name most people know this company. They, of course, have the largest commercial databases of genealogical data on the Internet. They are the latest & current owner of the leading genealogical software - Family Tree Maker. MyFamily.com is a very popular private (password only) Internet family site. Ancestry.com is a lot more... read about them and the name change on Eastman's Newsletter at: The Generations Network Becomes Ancestry.com
Last month Virginia Aldridge announced that she had over half of the Vanderburgh Co.,IN Marriage Applications - index to Volume 26 and images. Here is a link to her site: Marriage Applications, Vol. 26.
Not too long back, one of my sosn talked me into signing on to FaceBook to share information, photos and whatever else. You accept "Friends" to include in your FaceBook and you post items to your profile page that they can see and post comments (if they wish), you can upload photos to show to everyone on your "Friends" list. What has become neat about this is that you communicate with friends, family and associates in a different kind of environment then email, letters, or phone calls. I have been accepting a lot of my second & third cousins that I kind of know their names all of my life... since they live close by in the immediate area. Many have stated that they are very interested in their family history & have begun research. Now I have researched their ancestry for nearly 50 years and they do not know I have documented history done quite a way back, but need help going back further. I think I have some new contacts to join with me to research our common family lines! And it is kind of neat to get to know my cousins on an informal basis. It might be something for genealogists to add to their "tools" to research their family. You can visit their profile at: Facebook.

Virginia L. Aldridge, a former TSGS President, has done a very significant job of posting the images of Volume 25 of the Vanderburgh Co., Indiana marriage applications beginning on 18 April 1905 which has the parents' names and more. She has the images of the volume's index and pages 1 thru 206. This site is worth looking at even if you do not have anyone marrying in Vanderburgh County in 1905! A lot of hard work & time went into this project. Here is the link: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thetiethatbindsour/van_mar/vol_25_index.htm
TSGS is becoming known around the world through our regular web site:
[http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~intsgs/index.html] Since 14 Dec 2008 (less than 2 months) we have had over 670 unique visits by people all over the United States and, now, from 21 countries outside of the USA with six Continents represented. Six countries have recorded visits more than once according to our ClustrMaps Counter. Ireland has visited 11 times! We got a visit from one of the seven or so states that had not visited the last update I gave... welcome aboard, Wyoming! We still have not had visits from Mississippi, Maine, West Virginia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, North Dakota. If you know someone from any of these states ask them to come visit our TSGS regular web site and then check out this TSGS Cruiser Blog!

Brief Genealogical Notes
The Photo Album on the TSGS Web Site has a new page for the 14 Jun 2005 Flag Day TSGS Monthly Meeting. The program was “Flags Over America” presented by John G. West and assisted by Becky West & Don Counts. The above photo shows some of the fun at a TSGS meeting. Becky pokes the flint lock musket at John surprising John while Bettie Cook laughs on the left. There are several photos of the program with photos of the Color Guard presenting the Colors for the Pledge of Allegiance and the installation of the 2005-2006 TSGS Officers. Take a look at the officers and see all the flags at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~intsgs/photos3.html
Former TSGS President Virginia Aldridge released last night that there are now 100 images from Vanderburgh Co., IN Marriage Applications Volume 25 online.
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thetiethatbindsour/van_mar/vol_25_index.htm
Former TSGS President Don Counts suggests that when reading old records this might help to know what the definition of words and terms were during that period of time. Entire 1828 dictionary online at:
