Here is just another reason to get yourself logged into the New FamilySearch program (www.new.FamilySearch.org) Brigham Young University is working on a new website called Historic Journals (http://journals.byu.edu) where actual journals are being digitized and posted online. If you have registered for the New FamilySearch program, you can sign in to the Historical Journals website, and, using your New FamilySearch sign in and password, your pedigree chart is automatically compared to the names that have been identified in the journals, and if there are any matches, you can read those journals online, for free!
The site also invites folks to submit journals of their own ancestors that they might have in their possession as well, in order to be able to connect with other possible relatives of the same ancestors.
And REMEMBER! Next Thursday, August 13th at 7 pm is the next informal meeting of the FamilySearching interest group, in the Family History room right next to Primary.
