Mrs. Leathy West: Analysis of a Death Certificate

January Genealogy To-Dos
I began blogging my genealogy to-dos last month and I’m pleased with the results. Having the list out here for all to see keeps me accountable, plus I don’t feel like I’m tearing off in a hundred directions at once. I can stay focused on what I want to accomplish this month and as I […]
