Greetings Fellow Family History Sleuths,

Well, I’m just back from the Legacy Family Tree genealogy cruise of the Panama Canal, and have to say that it was a blast!  Almost 400 genealogists at sea for two weeks – and toss in a little zip-lining in Costa Rica! Rumor has it that they're heading to Asia next year, so keep your ears open!  If you haven’t already, you might want to check out Legacy Family Tree software and/or their webinars (including a few by yours truly).

I’m also tickled that Unclaimed Persons was featured in the Wall Street Journal (see below) and that the good folks at CostCo were kind enough to include me in October’s CostCo Connection!

I hope to see lots of you in Pensacola, Florida in November as it’s my last speaking event for quite a while. After 14 years of crisscrossing 40 states and six countries, I’m taking a bit of a breather from the road, but I’ll be back!

Wishing you and yours lots of October discoveries!
