Come on April 2012!!! Ancestry has announced they will have the 1940 Census available for free through the end of 2013!! Here is the news release...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://corporate.ancestry.com/press/press-releases/2011/08/1940-u.s.-census-to-be-free-on-ancestry.com/">1940 Census Release</a><br />
<br />
<h2 class="press_details">1940 U.S. Census to be Free on Ancestry.com</h2><strong>PROVO, UTAH (August 17, 2011)</strong>- Ancestry.com, the world’s largest online family history resource, today announced that both the images and indexes to the 1940 U.S. Federal Census will be made free to search, browse, and explore in the United States when this important collection commences streaming onto the website in mid-April 2012.<br />
<br />
When complete, more than 3.8 million original document images containing 130 million plus records will be available to search by more than 45 fields, including name, gender, race, street address, county and state. It will be Ancestry.com’s most comprehensively indexed set of historical records to date. <br />
Ancestry.com is committing to make the 1940 Census free from release through to the end of 2013, and by doing so hopes to help more people get started exploring their family history. As this census will be the most recent to be made publicly available, it represents the best chance for those new to family history to make that all-important first discovery.<br />
<br />
<em>“The release of the 1940 U.S. Census will be an exciting event for any American interested in learning more about their family history,” </em>said Ancestry.com CEO Tim Sullivan. <em>“By making this hugely important collection free to the public for an extended period, we hope to inspire a whole new generation of Americans to start researching their family history.” </em><br />
<em>“Ancestry.com is working to make the 1940 Census a truly unique interactive search experience...as well as the starting point to help new users easily get started on the world’s leading online family history resource. After finding that first family connection in the 1940 Census, we believe new users will be able to make amazing discoveries by searching our 7 billion digitized historical records, exploring the 26 million family trees created on Ancestry, and collaborating with our nearly 1.7 million subscribing members. We think that 2012 is going to be a great year of discovery for all family historians.</em>”LL Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02942520613369363730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781868494919077801.post-55303947866142180742011-07-14T19:13:00.000-05:002011-07-14T19:13:58.153-05:00WCGS July Meeting Info<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7t0hDiEWngBMFxcOuz02GNV2TIl4_TA9Qljp_l7EhUS4Rihnoc_omWB5Hbow0ieb27TmZyka0o9cuQZAcOx5o3Ui-TZ0Lwacw8JZrp6VG611RZJPOsbS6FESh5CYnT5eptxXqSTfzhE/s1600/july+wcgs+flyer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7t0hDiEWngBMFxcOuz02GNV2TIl4_TA9Qljp_l7EhUS4Rihnoc_omWB5Hbow0ieb27TmZyka0o9cuQZAcOx5o3Ui-TZ0Lwacw8JZrp6VG611RZJPOsbS6FESh5CYnT5eptxXqSTfzhE/s640/july+wcgs+flyer.jpg" width="494" /></a></div>LL Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02942520613369363730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781868494919077801.post-33986822228736509162011-06-02T19:02:00.000-05:002011-06-02T19:02:19.178-05:00WCGS June Meeting Iniformation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5RzixNDWvjnl9YESG23Ns4GqcIfM7T6l5LfcgG-N4r8mCovfDgWhrrvPpHQaaWjyIE0ZspNzZjLe8YbLTBZump7Eat6LQO7tWvAaY1BxVjdvrvOCpRNFzDjmDQ-ax-NtgNChR8xgLRq0/s1600/june+flyer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5RzixNDWvjnl9YESG23Ns4GqcIfM7T6l5LfcgG-N4r8mCovfDgWhrrvPpHQaaWjyIE0ZspNzZjLe8YbLTBZump7Eat6LQO7tWvAaY1BxVjdvrvOCpRNFzDjmDQ-ax-NtgNChR8xgLRq0/s640/june+flyer.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>LL Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02942520613369363730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781868494919077801.post-27643309959197530872011-05-17T17:08:00.000-05:002011-05-17T17:08:05.346-05:00Texas Resource Page UPDATED!<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

A webinar is a seminar online!! And it is usually FREE! I discovered a link today where there are several free webinars being offered in the next few weeks. Everything from learning how to blog about your genealogy, building a research toolbox, preserving photos and much more. There are also archived webinars you can view.<br />
<br />
This is a great resource to enhance your genealogy skills. <br />
<br />
Is there a genealogy skill you would like to know more about? Leave a comment here and I will see if we can find a class or two for you.<br />
<br />
This caught my eye, because my ole friend Thomas MacEntee is teaching the class on backing up your genealogy data. Thomas is very knowledgeable and this is a great reminder for all of us. Here is the link to the Legacy Family Tree Webinars:<br />
