I ...Thanks so much for this whole series, Melissa!<br /><br />I have learned a great deal. I've been at this for a long time, but I started about four decades ago, and then there was a *very* long hiatus. Really got back to genealogy when I got a computer in the late 90s. The world had changed....<br /><br />You have not only taught me things I didn't know, but you also have reminded me of some things that *used* to be normal practices in my research that I had long forgotten....<br /><br />Can't remember the last time I asked an archive or library, via email, if they had a vertical file on a subject, as just one example. That used to be pretty much the *first* question I asked in my letter or phone call, or when I walked in the door!<br /><br />It is not all online. It will *never* all be online. And much of the most interesting, problem-solving, confusion-resolving, and plain old coolest stuff is in that "never online" category.<br /><br />Thanks again!Linda Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858967138913513166noreply@blogger.com
