Here are some articles I have read this week<\/p>\n

I have recently worked on a case where I had to look at siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins in order to solve\u00a0 it. This is what we call “cluster genealogy”<\/p>\n

“We all have times when traditional genealogy research methods yield nothing but brick wall after brick wall. It\u2019s at this point that you have to step back and take a different approach, and that\u2019s when cluster and collateral research comes into play. ”\u00a0<\/em>This is the opening of the\u00a0Family tree magazine <\/strong>article\u00a0<\/strong>Cluster and Collateral Research to Find Ancestors<\/a>

<\/div>\n

\"\"The same topic is covered at\u00a0Ancestral Findings.com\u00a0<\/strong>How to Use Cluster Research to Find Those Hidden Ancestors<\/a>\u00a0

<\/div>\n

In the blog\u00a0Roots Revealed<\/strong> we find an article with a somewhat provocing headline. I am sorry to say that I agree with\u00a0Melvin J Collier.<\/strong>\u00a0Read\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Genealogy Has Become a Name Collection Game<\/a>\u00a0

<\/div>\n

Chiara<\/strong> in the blog\u00a0Decoding the family tree<\/strong> takes part in the “52 ancestors in 52 weeks” challenge. She writes about\u00a0WHERE THERE\u2019S A\u00a0WILL\u2026<\/a>\u00a0By the way; This gives me the opportunity to mention that old wills are few and far between in Norway. The reason for this is that the inheritance laws were fonsidered to be very fair.

\"\"“He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn.” -Shaikh Zayed<\/em>\u00a0James Tanner<\/strong>\u00a0in the blog\u00a0Genealogy’s Star\u00a0<\/strong>asks\u00a0Do You Know Your Past?<\/a>

I read a lot of different blogs. One blogger I always make sure to check out is\u00a0Amy Johnson Crow.<\/strong> She provide interesting and valuable information every week. This week it is\u00a05 Hidden Clues in the US Census<\/a>\u00a0

<\/div>\n

\"\"From the\u00a0Library and Archives Canada Blog\u00a0<\/strong>I found an interesting article about a type of old photos that I have never heard of before\u00a0The case of the patent leather photograph: a Library and Archives Canada pannotype\u00a0mystery<\/a>\u00a0Photo: Nordic Museum [CC0<\/a>], via Wikimedia Commons
