Case File Clues

I've been writing for Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter since the end of 2008. To help keep me organized and to assist readers find old articles, I've starting post brief information on each article on a new website:

Case File Clues-- http://www.casefileclues.com

Articles will be blogged about on this site briefly about a week after they run in Eastman's Newsletter. I always had difficulty finding older material on Ancestry's site when I wrote for them and thought this would be a way for me and readers to easily locate material.

Suggestions for article ideas are always welcome.

Another "Casefile Clues" column has been published in Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. This one focuses on a series of quitclaim deeds, what they were and what they meant. The article can be viewed by "plus" viewers of the newsletter.

Columns for Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter

The following are my columns for Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter that have gone "live" since I started writing for Eastman's in late December. We have now given my column a tagline: "Casefile Clues." This will be the new heading for all material.

• In Context
• Poor Farms and State Hospitals
• Wrong Names and Early Babies-Working with an 1880 Census Entry
• Casefile Clues: Working With Directories
• Casefile Clues: Off the Map Migration Chains

I'm looking forward to putting together more columns. I'll be focusing on actual research case studies and welcome suggestions for topics and content (mjnrootdig@gmail.com). However, I am unable to research for others.
