walkitoutSince I noticed this journal shows up in a blogroll for someone else who blogs about genealogical stuff, I thought I'd try to make this a slightly better experience for visitors who are here for the genealogy. That is, I caught up on tagging a bunch of genealogical posts. I'm very, very bad about tagging posts, but I will make an effort (I seem to have let about 8 months slide by. Whups!).
If you are here for the genealogy, try this:
http://walkitout.livejournal.com/tag/genealogy
You should however be aware that I do not regard myself as a professional genealogist nor do I aspire to be one (altho I do admire quite a few professional genealogists and make use of their fine work) or to acquire any kind of accreditation or credentials.
Here's a brief summary of some of my genealogical interests:
Prussian/Russian/Canadian Mennonites
the following places:
the Pacific Northwest, especially Skagit and Whatcom counties in Washington State
the Netherlands, especially Friesland
Exira, Iowa (Hamlins and associated families)
Mohawk Valley, New York State (especially the area around Amsterdam, especially Fonda)
My husband is particularly interested in French-Canadians (he could supply the village names) and New Jersey, especially places like Little Falls and Newark.
But we both go wherever our trees take us. We go up ancestors, out along collaterals wherever possible, we trace mothers as well as fathers, sisters and brothers and siblings and their children, down to present day cousins whenever we can.

Where
Date: 2012-02-15 02:41 am (UTC)Berlin, NH and Lewiston, ME have others.
NH is particularly difficult as little is on-line.
I think Compton, QC is also interesting.
But given that my father's father was one of 17 children,
I think I must have over 100 second cousins to track down.
I'm wondering how many of them I've already met.
