A cousin recently contacted me to ask about our family’s medical history…cancer occurrence within our aunts, uncles, and cousins. As I was compiling a list, it made me think how this disease impacted so many lives. As medicine advances, more people can beat the odds, but it is still a dreaded disease. As genealogists, we seem to be the keepers of family information, including those related to illnesses and death. Let’s look at ways that we can capture this information for others.
Fall! It’s that time of the year where school starts and I start thinking about ways to hone my genealogy skills. If you are near the Fargo-Moorhead area, you too have an opportunity to gain more knowledge. The annual Family History Workshop 2024 is slated for September 21, 2024. If you register by September 15th, your lunch is included in the reasonable price of $49 for a day of family history learning. This year the featured speaker is Dana Kelly, the Executive Director of the Norwegian American Cultural Center & Naeseth Library. The focus this year is on Scandinavian countries but there are additional speakers on a variety of topics. Check here to learn more.
It is great to keep building our skills. No matter the topic, there are great opportunities to learn. Happy Learning! We tend to celebrate everything in the twenty-first century, including birthdays and anniversaries. Friends are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary soon and I wondered how and if our ancestors celebrated these milestones. Let’s look.
