Welcome back to the Ancestral Findings newsletter!
Well, it’s another Friday, and I have some great ideas to keep you busy this October. If you’re looking for genealogy projects this month, I’ll share six must-do projects to help you build your family tree and uncover new information. These are excellent ways to maximize your research time in October! On top of that, this week’s Free Genealogy Lookups include records from the Mayflower vital records, Pennsylvania vital records, the genealogy of Long Island families, and Virginia vital records covering the 1600s to the 1800s. There’s plenty to explore and discover. And we’re continuing our
series on South African genealogy, where we dig deeper into the rich history and records available for tracing your roots in that region. I hope these lookups and articles help you in your research! Happy Searching! Will 🎧 Listening to the Podcast on YouTube or iTunes.
