Estacaille Genealogy

Just wanted to take a moment to wish my site visitors a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! My semester of college courses finished last week, freeing up some time to increase to full-time hours at work, and in the evenings enjoy a little of the holidays. Got another semester of courses starting the [...]

How’s it going? Well it’s been awhile since I’ve updated this site. I had a busy spring with a full slate of business courses at the college while job hunting. The courses are done until fall and I’ve started a new job which is full-time during the summer, then 4 days a week starting sometime [...]

i was reading an interesting article in the April/May 2011 issue of Internet Genealogy magazine. “Five ways to use social media to find your family”There’s several good tips, here’s my favorites: – use Twitter to ask short questions about people/items your looking for. Add a hashtag like #surnames or #SurnameSaturday to help tag your tweet [...]

Happy spring everyone! I’ve been busy with college courses, web design clients & job hunting.  The little bit of genealogy research I’ve collected is Estacaille, maybe a tiny bit of Braniff and Judas.I’ve been fortunate the last couple of months to have received a CD of old Judas/Baker photos collected by a researching cousin who [...]

I haven’t used this site in a long while, but when I first started out in this adventure this site helped me a lot with discovering the genealogy treasures on the ‘net.  www.cyndislist.com is an organized directory of genealogy websites around the world. It links to databases, forms, software, libraries, societies, government sources, how-tos – [...]

I’ve started to use Clooz software to help transcribe/organize the source data I’ve been collecting. I love the fact that this software comes with pre-built templates for US/Canada census records. The database records can be indexed for multiple individuals.  These individuals can be sorted/viewed by last name, first name, ID #… You can also link [...]

One of my favorite sites for trying to find new possible records in Canada & the US. It’s been years since I’ve had any paid subscription to this site. But that’s mainly because I haven’t found new records that I need to see, or I can find the record for less cost once I know [...]

The Mormon church is very much into genealogy, tracing/recording families from around the world, not just their members.  While this fact has not been popular with some people/religions it has proven to be a valuable resource for genealogists.  It’s been a few years but I’ve used the tiny local family centre to order/view microfilms from [...]
