==> Virginia Family Histories #2, 1600s-1800s
======================================================================
Although an especially valuable resource for tracing your family tree,
family histories such as these are often difficult to locate since they
are usually not published for wide distribution. A family history is a
written account of a family's immediate and extended relationships.
Often, a family history begins with an explanation how a family's
surname was derived. Then, beginning with the oldest known ancestor,
family lines are traced up to the time of publication. Along with
biographical information on each family member, this often includes
illustrations or photographs of individuals or places significant to
the family.

======================================================================
==> Index to Griffith's Valuation of Ireland, 1848-1864
======================================================================
This database is an index to one of Ireland's premier genealogical
resources, Griffith's Valuation. It references more than one million
individuals who owned property in Ireland between 1848 and 1864. Since
no Irish census of the nineteenth century has survived, Griffith's
Valuation is a record of extreme importance. It is, essentially, the
only detailed guide to where in Ireland people lived during the
mid-nineteenth century and what property they possessed. In effect,
Griffith's Valuation can be used as a census substitute for the years
before, during, and after the Great Famine.

==> The New Jersey Biographical Index, 1800s
======================================================================
Throughout the 1800s, with the development of canals, railroads and
eventually roadways, New Jersey secured itself as a major
transportation corridor between the Northeast and South. With the
creation of the nation's first factory town, workers from throughout
the East coast settled in New Jersey. It continues to be a strong
industrial state with links to New York City, Philadelphia, and other
key cities in the region.

======================================================================
==> Research Results that Touch You
======================================================================
Have you ever shed a tear or had goose-bumps when reading through an
old record? Seasoned researchers know what I mean and those more
recently interested in family history have much to look forward to.

Did the item make your eyes teary, solve a family mystery, or give
a sought-after breakthrough?

======================================================================
==> Finding Treasures in Interesting Places
======================================================================
My mother decided to move into a retirement complex in 1988. As a
result, my brother, my sister-in-law, and I were recruited to help
her select the things she would take with her from a three-bedroom
home into essentially an efficiency apartment. In the process, my
brother happened to lift the corner of her bedroom carpet which
happened not to be tacked down. Imagine his (and our) amazement
when he found two $100 bills! Further searches under the rug, in
books, and inside antique covered casserole bowls in the china
cabinet yielded a whopping $4,200! This is certainly a lesson to
those of us who have to clean out a parent’s or other relative’s
home...

======================================================================
==> Thoughts from the BMV
======================================================================
I’ve had plenty of time to think about this article these past couple
days. I realized that we hadn’t received our new registration for the
car in the mail, and when I went out to check when it expired, I found
that we needed to get it real quick. Instead of renewing it online like
I usually do, I would have to brave the long lines at the Bureau of
Motor Vehicles. Noooooooooooo! Not the BMV!

Once I recovered from the horror of it all, I decided that there must
at least be a column in it for me. So without further ado, here are
some random thoughts from the BMV:

1) Using Online Tools and Phone First.
2) Bureaucracy Has Its Perks.
3) Bring Reading Materials.
4) Keep a Notepad Handy.
5) Be Kind to Them, and They'll Be Kind to You.
