Now blogger has made it so I can keep you all updated on my genealogy adventures anywhere I go with my iPhone...provided I have service and a signal.
Although I haven't been up to much lately I have been checking out the 1896/1897 newspapers from Bloomsberg PA that are online at the Bloomsberg University library. Haven't found anything yet but I will continue my search. Thank you BLoomsber u for another free resource online.

1940 US Census
The buzz this year in genealogy is the release of the 1940 US Census. Now the census is 100% indexed online! Thank you to all the people and all the hours they put in pouring over these old documents to make them more user friendly for people like me and you!
So I've been just "playing" around with the 1940 US Census. I've found all but one of my Grandparents. It's been a fun way for me to check out the census and get a feel for what is there. My parternal grandpa is the only one who is currently MIA. And after a phone conversation with my dad last night and a few more details on my Grandpa's life I wasn't aware of, I'm still unable to find him. So my search goes on. It's always a possibility that he was missed in the enumeration.
