Week 10 - Wrap Up
This has been a very fun and educational experience for me - thank you Jane and Julie! My biggest discovery I must say that the Ancestry Database is my new favorite - I looked up one of co-workers dad and found him in the Manuscript Census Report - totally cool - I am going to have to spend some more time checking this one out....

Week 9 History and Genealogy Resources—Ancestry Library, Heritage Quest and Sanborn Maps
1. Under quick Links I clicked on pictures then Passenger ships and images - I did a keyword search for Titanic and I got 6 results - several were from the Star Line. I also used the browse function and came up with many more pictures.
2. I clicked on newspapers then on newspapers and publications - I did a keyword search for Hindenburg and came up with 437 newspapers and 4 periodicals and magazines.
3. I used the county I grew up in Gogebic County which is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I searched Stories, Memories, and Histories and came up with a lot of cool stuff about the county including pictures!!
