FamilySearch is continually adding new online offerings. Classes on how to read English handwritten records are currently in development. All of the classes can be accessed on www.familysearch.org by clicking on Free Online Classes on the home page. FOOTNOTE Unlike any other historical collection on the web, the Interactive Census Collection has the unique ability to connect people related to ancestors found on the historical documents. Simply by clicking the Im Related button for a name on the document will identify you as a descendent and also list others that have done the same. Never before has it been as easy to connect with distant relatives through historical documents. Finding a record featuring an ancestors name provides not only an emotional experience but also a connection with the past. On Footnote.com it's more than just finding a name on a census record. Interactive tools allow people to enhance the documents by adding their own contributions including: Photos Stories Comments Other related documentCheck out the Interactive Census at Footnote - Free for a limited time. Who Do You Think You Are? Do you belong to a genealogy society? Perhaps nows a good time to hold some beginning genealogy classes like the San Antonio Genealogical and Historical Society has done.

The next time I go hunting for a homestead, I'm going to do it this way. It's much easier than getting the old state highway maps that also show the township, range, info!

Genealogy Questions: Long time listeners Richard Yehle has a question about adoption research He writes: "An ex-brother–in-law's father had two brothers born in 1914 and 1916 who were placed in an orphanage in Stockton CA in an unknown year (I'd guess between 1920 and 1930). The family is looking for information on these two brothers but don't know where to start. I can't find either of them in the 1920 or 1930 census, nor their parents for that matter. They moved from New Mexico to Bakersfield CA by 1910 and apparently to Stockton CA at some point later, again my guess is after the death of the mother – but we don't have that date. The location of the two orphans are not known. I suppose it's possible that they took the name of their adoptive parents which could be a problem. The original surname is Torres which is also reasonably common. Any suggestions on where to start looking for these two?" Do a search on Google Books - here's one on San Joaquin County orphanages Here's a Benevolent Institutions publication from 1910. Full text of "Benevolent institutions. 1910" The San Joaquin County US Gen Web site is currently under construction but it looks like they plan on providing information about adoptions in the county.
