This week has been so hectic for me that I have resorted to blogging in bulk!! At least I'm blogging though. This worked out well for Thursday and Friday because I am going to write about the same topic for both. I am teaching a new class this morning on Basic Military Records and I just was thinking about how lucky I am to have such a "treasure trove" of information at my finger tips. I am referring to the Midwest Genealogy Center. Yes I work here, but I started working here because I was here so much that I applied and got a page position. I worked my way up from there and I absolutely love it. I NEVER would have thought I would be teaching classes on anything, working so closely with people doing detective work and just overall enjoying my job! I have learned so much about people and history by researching and it is so wonderful! If you are researching your genealogy and have never been to MGC, I highly recommend taking a trip. It is the largest free standing public genealogy library in the nation!

I probably won't get to the library because it's several states away but I like their website and I especially like the census transcription forms. Thanks for the heads up!
