Follow Friday–Fab Finds for August 3, 2012

My regular readers may have noticed that I didn't post a Fab Finds list for last week.

No, I wasn't slacking off, haha. I was enjoying a week-long vacation with my family. I did a little write-up about it in my post titled I'm Back!!

Our family had a great time together on our vacation.  Now, it’s time to get back to our regular routine.

So, without further delay…

My Fab Finds for this week are (in no particular order) -

1. Is your data obsolete? and My Online Nightmare by Genealogy’s Star

FYI ~ For those of you who have indexed and/or arbitrated the 1940 Census, make sure you check out #2 on this list, "Nearing the End of the Marathon."  In the third paragraph of the section "The Victor's Crown" you will see a link to get the new "victor's laurel" badges.  If you want to see what they look like, check out the left side of my blog.
