Friday Finds – 03/12/10

Weekly column sharing genealogy-related things that I’ve learned or found.

Website – At About.com Genealogy, there is a wonderful resource, Glossary of Old Occupations & Trades.

Article – An informative article by Emily McMackin, entitled “Pride of the Irish,” in the March/April 2010 issue of American Spirit (a publication of the DAR).  It was interesting to see the role the Irish played in the formation of America, from politics to culture.  This is a good read for anyone with Irish heritage or an interest in early American history.

Carnival – The first edition of the Carnival of Genealogical Societies was posted the other day.  There are 15 articles in this debut issue, highlighting a project or publication of a particular genealogical society.
