AFRICAN AMERICAN FUNERAL PROGRAMS

The Center for Family History at the International African American Museum has added hundreds of newly donated African American funeral programs to their Digital Archive. These include collections from Freestone County and the surrounding area in Texas, as well as Shelby and Knox Counties in Tennessee. You can search and view images of this collection, and check out their other digitized collections, at  https://iaamcfh.omeka.net/s/IAAM_CFH/page/collections

MICHIGAN NATURALIZATION RECORDS

Thanks to the Eaton County Genealogical Society for this tip from their newsletter: The Archives of Michigan is currently working on digitizing Michigan naturalization records. These records may be searched, viewed, and downloaded for free on the Michiganology website. They currently have just a few counties online, but adding more regularly.

FREE COURSE ON THE GREAT IRISH FAMINE

IrelandXO is offering a free, self-paced, online course on “The Great Irish Famine: History, Diaspora, and Global Legacy.” Taught by “museum-based expert historians,” the course covers both the history as well as accessing related records for genealogy research. (Since this is a self-paced course, it is not posted on the ConferenceKeeper calendar). Details at https://alison.com/course/the-great-irish-famine-history-diaspora-and-global-legacy

FREE ADVERTISING!
