Digital Library of Georgia has online copies of Sanborn Fire Insurance maps of Georgia between 1884-1922. Coverage varies by location.

The download service I use for the webinars only allows me so much space and I’m at the limit. I need to decide which ones to keep selling, which ones to no longer offer, and–I need a change of pace for a while.

So…effective 11 May 2016, I’ll no longer be selling the recorded copies of old webinars as shown below (we’ll still have our scheduled ones in May and will have downloads for those who register and happen to miss those). But we will be stopping the sales for a while so that I can regroup and focus.

Now’s a great time to order. Our prices are low and orders over $50 can receive an additional discount by using coupon code 2016over50.

GeoGen can create several maps showing modern concentrations of German surnames. While it certainly is not proof that your family came from the area where the name is concentrated today, it may give you a little general direction.

This site was one of several I discovered recently in Jim Beidler’s Trace Your German Roots Online: A Complete Guide to German Genealogy Websites.

A variety of newspapers from Moline, Illinois, between 1854 and 1969 are available online through this site “The Digital Archives of the Moline, Illinois, Public Library.“
