Noua Zece

My great-grandmother was French. She was born approximately in 1899, in France. My great-grandfather was Romanian like me. He worked for almost 30 years for Romanian Crown Estate being a wealthy man, having business and traveling a lot in the West of Europe. It is said about him that he spoke besides Romanian, French, English, Latin and German.

Connecting Cultures: Researching Your Roots Online

By Susan Hopkins

I stood in a small Irish cemetery. The weather was unusually warm for Ireland. The sun shone brightly, and there was not a trace of the common soft Irish rain in the air. The grass grew very high, uncut for months, a traditional Irish custom I later found out, to help preserve the natural feel of the setting. The tombstone listed the names of distant relatives I had only discovered a year earlier.

Bittersweet Memories, a Tribute to My Daddy

Editor Genealogy Corner

When growing up all holidays were special ones. The family would always gather at our home, all of dad’s children present and accounted for. It was just a special time for him to take a break from his busy schedule and make time for his family. BBQs and watermelon, I can almost remember the smell of my dad cooking London broil on the grill.

A Background on Older “Burying Grounds”

By Linnea Travis Miller

Churches maintained the earlier cemeteries; public grounds did not come into their own until the late 1800’s. Many families had a burying place on their farms, oft-times within site of the main house. You sometimes can find many generations on this plot of ground. Farm cemeteries were still used into the early 1900’s in central Pennsylvania.
