I am back with some websites I have read this week<\/p>\n

\"\"Some of my ancestors who lived on an island in Tr\u00f8ndelag were supposed to be descendants of a spanish sailor who wrecked on the coast. The reason? They all had dark hair and looked “mediterranean”. \u00a0Having researched this branch of the family, the most “exotic” I find is a Swede.\u00a0Dawne\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0ACPL Genealogy Center<\/strong>\u00a0talks about this in his article\u00a0Family Lore – Truth, Fiction or Something in Between?<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"In his Genealogy Tip of the Day,<\/strong>\u00a0 Michael John Neill\u00a0<\/strong>talks about how to be sure that what we remember is correct. I am sorry to say that I often find myself remembering things wrong. Read his article\u00a0How Do You Know?<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"If you are going to Norway this summer, you might want to visit the church your ancestors attended. This article from OnGenealogy tells you how to search for information about these churches: Kirkes\u00f8k Norwegian church database.<\/a>\u00a0Note; You should use the textlink “Norwegian church” if you click the flag in the top right corner of the searchpage, you get the text in English.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"I admit it, I am not the world’s most well organized person. Whenever I come across information on how to get better organized I stop to read, like this article by\u00a0Sara O’Connor<\/strong> in the\u00a0geneartist<\/strong> blog;\u00a0Organizing Your Genealogy Documents<\/a>.\u00a0

<\/div>\n

\"\"Marian B. Wood\u00a0<\/strong>has an interesting series of articles in her blog\u00a0Climbing My Family Tree.\u00a0<\/strong>In this series she looks at how to obtain various vital records for your ancestors. The series has now 8 installments and you find the overview on this page \u00a0Genealogy–Free or Fee?<\/a>\u00a0

\"\"If you are new to genealogy or in the processs of considering taking up genealogy, this article from the\u00a0FamilySearch<\/strong> blog might be the place to start\u00a0New to Genealogy – Beginners First Step<\/a>.\u00a0

\"\"I can say as\u00a0Jancie Brown<\/strong>; “Nurses run in my family”. That’s why this article found in the\u00a0New Hamshire’s history blog<\/strong>100 Years Ago: “Gold Star Women” Nurses in World War I<\/a> caught my attention.\u00a0
