GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 18 March 2016

Some weeks I feel like an errant schoolgirl who has to find excuses for not doing her homework. While this week I have managed to keep up with Australian blogs I have fallen behind in reading those from overseas. Participating in two online family history courses has seriously eaten into my blog reading time. I still, however, have several gems to offer.


1. Alona reminds us of the value of obituaries.

2. Marg gets close to a family plot.
