I absolutely believe in genealogical serendipity. Every now
and then, that thing you’ve been looking for, that record you wanted, or maybe
even something that hadn’t even crossed your mind in a while – it’ll just pop
up in front of you! I think it’s because – and I truly believe this – our ancestors
want to be found.
Well this morning, I woke up and, like I do every day, started
tooling around on the interwebs, visiting some of my favorite sites. At least
once a week, I check out Dick Eastman’s super useful blog, Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter, for the news, notes and updates he is always posting. So today, as
I’m scrolling through, I come across an announcement about the newest updates
to FamilySearch.org’s collections. Top of the list: Alabama County Marriages
1809 – 1950.
Well, hey, I know my
paternal roots are in Alabama,
let me just go check this out. Cool, calm, and collected. Used to being
disappointed.
