Rural (Franco-)America New research suggests that rural Franco-Americans' ability to sustain themselves culturally was related to their economic autonomy.

🚨 NEW! 🚨

French Canadians who immigrated to rural areas of the United States—from Vermont to Illinois—were not fated to disappear culturally. But their community life may have become an expression of access to property.

From Rapidan to Andersonville This biography of Washington Marion Crawford was reconstructed from careful transcriptions of his compiled military service record and his Civil War pension file. Rather than relying on secondary summaries, I worked directly from the original documents — muster rolls, prisoner-of-war memoranda, hospital records, medical certificates, pay accounts, and pension applications. Each page was transcribed in archival form, preserving original wording, dates, and remarks.

Civil War pension files tell powerful stories. I’ve completed a full transcription of Sgt. Washington Marion Crawford’s pension file, revealing his capture, imprisonment, illness, and the lasting impact of war.

Do we share every last morsel with everyone? What does it change?
I write out those stories, but choose not to share them with older relatives who knew the subject. Maybe it's just me.

Genealogists and family historians discover and uncover many stories the details of which are sometimes scandalous.

We know stuff.

For instance, there are at least 27 variations of Thibodeau. (yes, really) #genealogy

"Every genealogist has at least one moment when something finally *clicks*. It could be breaking down a brick wall, discovering a long sought-after record, or seeing an ancestor in a new light. This is a good week to write about this discovery."

What a great opening salvo. Well done.
