The author at a very young age–before he discovered genealogy.

Search Tips get posted here for one of two reasons:

• FamilySearch updates–generally I post United States material, Canadian material and Western Europe.
• Other things that cross my desk.

Readers are encouraged to submit suggestions to me at michael.john.neill@gmail.com, but they will be used at my discretion.

These Search Tips are not generated from press releases and I don’t make any claims to being a “genealogy news” site. There are enough of those and that’s simply not how I roll.

“Other things that cross” my desk are, generally speaking, related to where my children have ancestors or where I have a research interest.  I’m always open to ideas from readers of sites they’d like to see mentioned, but “other things that cross my desk” are ones I encounter when doing actual research.

And…thanks for listening…and for reading.
