Arlene’s webmaster Kathryn posting today. If you have recently emailed Arlene and not received an answer, she’s not ignoring you. The computer she used for email has recently been giving her more and more problems, to the point she can’t download email. Her grandson is going to update the computer soon, hopefully by the end of the month, and then she will start catching up. So please be patient.<\/p>\n
Today, at the Family History Expo, Arlene was speaking on documenting your common ancestors in Congressional Records. She talked about Peter Force’s “American Archives”, a Documentary History of the early days of the United States. The set is comprised of 6 volumes in the Fourth Series, and 3 volumes in the Fifth Series for a total of 9 volumes. She has access to one of the volumes in physical format and said that because of the computer problem, she hadn’t yet Googled to see if they had been digitized. So I did that while she was talking and found that all 9 volumes are available at http:\/\/www.archive.org\/search.php?query=%22Peter%20Force%22<\/a> for free, and can be read online or downloaded in a variety of formats (PDF, text, Kindle, etc).<\/p>\n With the computer problem, she won’t be blogging either. I’ll keep you posted if it looks like it will take longer than the end of the month.<\/p>\n Kathryn Bassett, webmaster for our favorite genealogist, Arlene Eakle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arlene’s webmaster Kathryn posting today.
