Welcome back to the Ancestral Findings newsletter!
September is shaping up to be a great month for genealogy projects! If you’re looking for new ways to explore your family history, I have some fun ideas. Over at Ancestral Findings, we’re still deep in our Australian genealogy
series. We’ve already uncovered a lot—from early convict records and their impact on Australian ancestry to the pioneers and settlers who shaped the land. We’ve also explored the Gold Rush, post-war immigration, and the role of women in Australian history—plenty to discover! This week’s free genealogy lookups
focus on military and church records. They feature Confederate soldier files, Connecticut officers and soldiers, Virginia’s Revolutionary War records, and church records from Pennsylvania, including German church records. With the weekend ahead, it’s the perfect time to start a new genealogy project. Happy Searching! Will Support Ancestral Findings through Paypal or Patreon.
