GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 28 August 2015

I'm fearful of looking in my GAGs folder on Evernote because I know that I have saved so many posts to consider for this week's GeniAus' Gems post. While Mr GeniAus is watching the football I'll review, select and prepare my post for publishing tomorrow.


My selections are:

1. I learnt about a Welsh resource from Karen Ball in the US.

2. Sue suggests how we should ask questions

3.  An Aussie post from The National Archives in the UK

4. Carmel writes about National Family History Month (read right to the end of her post)

5. Because I learnt about Sister Kenny when I was at school I was pleased to see this post

Thank you, Jill, for including Just One More Time in your list. Coming from a family with a long history of involvement in the forces, the sadness of lost loves has alwaysbeen close to my heart.
