Comment.
Unlike Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, who “started at the very beginning, a very fine place to start”, in perusing the magazine I usually start at Dave Obee’s Back Page. This time he Searches for Genealogical Gold with a great-grandfather who dissappeared while heading to the Yukon Gold Rush.
That reminded me of my 2xgreat-grandfather who dissappeared from England. He was eventually found in the US Army in Texas during the Red River War, a period covered in the David A. Norris article, Genealogical Records for Buffalo Soldiers and Their Families. It covers some of the same records I used in exploring my ancestor’s service.
In reading Julie Cahill Tarr’s article Watch YouTube Videos to Grow Your Genealogy Skills you may reflect of the value of the advice available there on almost any topic, not just genealogy. YouTube is another rabbit hole too!
I found this issue to be particularly good for me, well worth the $19.95 for an annual subscription.
