Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

"Online Newspapers" Talk at SCCHGS
On Tuesday evening I gave a presentation on using online newspapers for genealogy research to the Santa Clara County Historical and Genealogical Society. It was the largest group I've spoken to so far -- 75 people! Everyone was enthusiastic about the information, and many people were optimistic they would be able to use it to help find their relatives in the paper. I had a wonderful time, and the cookies made with peanut butter cups were especially delicious. Many thanks to Richard Ferman for inviting me to speak!
