Here are some websites I have visited this week<\/p>\n

This week the whole family has been down with the flu. A lot of time to reade, but not all that much energy to do so. Nevertheless, I have done some surfing.

\"\"Many families have skeletons in the closet.\u00a0Megan,\u00a0<\/strong>in the blog\u00a0Walking the genes<\/strong>, tells about her\u00a0great-great-grandfather, Charles Newman.

At\u00a0Ancestral findings.com\u00a0<\/strong>I found the article\u00a0\u00a0Death Certificates: Your Doorway to Your Ancestor\u2019s Life<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"I find it very interesting to move out of my normal field of research and look at other histories. This story presented on the\u00a0History channel blog<\/strong> is truly fascinating\u00a0Meet Stagecoach Mary, the Daring Black Pioneer Who Protected Wild West Stagecoaches<\/a><\/p>\n
