Hello my wonderful readers! As promised, Fab Finds is back from its two-week hiatus. I was able to finish and order my blog book by the March 31st deadline so I could take advantage of the 20% off sale. My book has already arrived and I'm very pleased with it. Blurb did a great job. I was also able to complete my syllabus for the upcoming class I'm teaching at our local Family Discovery Day in May.
This week's Fab Finds post contains blog posts from previous weeks as well as from this week.
My Fab Finds for this week are (in no particular order)

Thank you for including my posts on researching deaf ancestors, Jana!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Miriam! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteJana, the two week wait was worth it! So many helpful items in your post today! Thanks especially for mentioning the articles on researching deaf ancestors--since I am researching a deaf in-law from the late 1800s, this is exactly what I need to do: check the school records.
ReplyDeleteI was also saddened and concerned to read about Cheri Hudson Passey's son. Thank you for including the link for a way to make our concern and care tangible.
And, of course, thank you for the shout out about my post on the remake at GenForum.
You're so very welcome for the mention Jacqi! And thanks for your kind comments.
DeleteYes, Cheri's news is so heartbreaking. I hope she knows how much we all feel for her and her family at this difficult time.
Jana, Thanks so much for including me!

ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Lisa!
DeleteThanks so much for the mention - the #AtoZChallenge is a fun and interesting way to write about our genealogy and family history during April. Writing about Swedish records (the post you mention) and my finds was a treat!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Tessa! I have a special interest in Swedish research. :)
DeleteJana, thanks for including my post on OCR software I use. Plus sorry the thanks is a little delayed. I am just working through the blogs I follow and comments on my blog as I was back at work this week. Fran
