Another Library Burned….

On December 29, 2011, a library burned to the ground.  No, it isn’t a library just anyone could visit.  This library was a wealth of information, available to anyone in the family who had the desire to reach out and get it. My grandmother, Juanita F. (Brown) Dooley passed away that day.  She was the [...]

Giving of time to help other genealogists….

We all take many things for granted: the sun coming up in the morning, the water coming out of the faucet in the morning when we go to make our much needed coffee, our genealogy records being available…wait, what? Yes…we do sometimes take that for granted, as well. I have donated quite a bit of [...]

Took a break..

Sometimes life requires you take a break from the hobby you love.  This has been the case for GenLady.  I hope my readers will continue to visit and bear with me while I get back in to the swing of things here at the site. In the coming weeks I will be attempting to do [...]

A Library Burned June 15th, 2010

Last week, on June 15th 2010, a library burned. No, it wasn’t a brick structured filled with books. It wasn’t a gathering place for researchers of long gone families.

No Personal Genealogy For Me Right Now…

I’m a little busy right now with some other issues…which is why I haven’t had time to blog very much…or do my own genealogy research. If you’d like to find out what I’ve been busy with take a look at my personal genealogy blog: Dee’s Genealogical Journeys

Internet

We all use it, we all depend on it to some extent. What happens when your internet goes out?  Do you have a back-up plan?  Do you even really need a back-up plan? Well, I have determined that I need a back up plan.  My internet went out, and is still out.  They say they’ll [...]

My Personal Genealogy Blog

I have decided to start blogging on my own personal genealogy.  Please take a minute to check it out.  I have only just started it, so it’s bare bones right now…but I will update as often as possible!  I did post many of the surnames in my tree. GenLady

Storms

I want everyone in the southern States to know that my prayers are with them during this time of clean up and recovery. I live close to a community in KY that was torn apart by a tornado, so I have seen the devastation. GenLady

Dinner With Four Ancestors

I have found a great blog carnival called the Carnival of Genealogy.  This edition involves us writing about having dinner with four ancestors…my story: (fiction to follow) I’m searching through documents in the courthouse basement and realize I’m starting to get a little hungry.  My dad, who always goes with me, says he isn’t the least [...]
