My computer died a final death last week.
In the process of setting up the family lap top for me to work on I discovered a cool feature on chrome...the "Find" bar. I am so excited with how this works. I really needed it last week.
Here is the skinny.
When you are looking at a web page in Google Chrome, you can push control F which will bring up a "find bar". Type in the word you are looking for on that page and Viola! Google chrome highlights the word for you. I love this feature!
I was looking for an individual on an old newspaper page last week, skimming line by line. I went back to it today and tried the "find bar" trick and it worked beautifully!
Thank you Google!

Hooked into a British Royal Line? Really?
I had a very nice gentleman in England contact me and tell me he had been working on my Grand mother Beulah Menlove Lichfield line. Through the IGI, he connected her line back to the 4th century. It went through many royal lines which I assume are from published genealogies. I am also skeptical.
This morning as I was working on my home study class on English Research I came across a reference to a book Ancient Families in the British Isle by Jeannette Holland Austin. It looks like this book is available on-line through a membership to a Virginia Historical Society at Virginia Pioneers.net
It might be worth checking out if I ever get to this project.
Another source to check is Burke's Peerage and Gentry an on-line source http://www.burkespeerage.com/
This was mentioned in my text book as well. The introduction to the web site follows:
