Photograph of the week

This photograph was taken of the grand jurors for the October 1914 term of the Hancock County Illinois Circuit Court. 

I recently purchased it on Ebay and discussed it in a recent blog post.

Genealogy Tip of the Day
X is for Extant

It's not really "x," but we are going to use it. A record is said to be extant if it is still in existence. .

Tombstone of the Week-Sort Of

This receipt for the tombstone of Melinda Newman appeared in her probate packet from Linn County, Iowa. It described her stone including the size and the inscription.

If you'd like to continue to receive the blog update....
If you didn't subscribe to the weekly update, this is the last free one we're sending out.I'm going to have to bite the bullet and restrict distribution to subscribers--we appreciate everyone's understanding and support.

There are items in the weekly update that are not published in our blogs.

We're only asking $5 a year to get the weekly update. 

If you don't want to receive the weekly update after that---do nothing. If you'd like to keep getting the weekly update, use one of our two options:
  • auto renewal--your payment option will be charged automatically in a year. You can always stop the payment beforehand.
  • non-auto renewal--you will be billed and not automatically charged
Either way--you do not need a PayPal account. Just click on "pay with debit or credit card." This is the easiest and cheapest way for me to accept credit cards as a small merchant.

Thanks for your support!
