Hey, y’all, This is different than the one from the last couple of days. The 150th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Monitor is next Monday, which is why I’m writing so much about it right now. This one features Welsh and Scottish heroes of the Monitor. And again, no clue what’s up with the irrelevant image of old letters, but there are a couple of interesting images (including an old letter) in the article itself.

OK, this is rather bizarre. For some reason, a video review of my very first book, In Search of Our Ancestors, was just published last October. This is a book of 101 tales of genealogical serendipty, and while it’s out of print, I’ve been considering reprinting it myself. What do you think? Should I do it?
