I Remember the Days My Kids Had Genealogy Projects...


Each one of my five kids had at least 2 'Genealogy' assignments for English class throughout their elementary school years... I loved it because it introduced them to the world of genealogy through an 'everyday' school project. :)

This article from NGS and written by Sara Bieda, made me smile....

Uencounter.me, The New Virtual Pin Map Introduces New Genealogy Pin ~ news from PRWeb

Article from PRWeb, about an interesting new visual aid tool being introduced by uencounter.me.  As for genealogy research,  it looks like it can help with an ancestral map as it displays the migration patterns of your ancestors by pinning the locations they were born, lived and died.  The basic membership is free, if you do not mind seeing ads as you use the site, other options include no ads but require a fee.
I would be interested in any thoughts or comments on your experience if you use this mapping site in the future.
