Follow Friday: This Week’s Favorite Finds

Another week, another list of my favorite finds…

• How cool would it be to have an ancestor who fought at Waterloo?  Head over to Caro’s Family Chronicles to read about her son-in-law’s 4th great grandfather.
• Linda Gartz at Family Archaeologist has such a neat post entitled The Train Journey-Part 1.  Don’t we all wish that we had books full of notes, addresses, and recipes from our ancestors?  What a treasure!
• My friend Cherie at Have You Seen My Roots? knows that I’m insanely jealous of her funeral card collection.  She is very lucky to have been given a book full of beautiful cards.
• You absolutely have to read Amy Coffin’s post “If Genealogists Ran Hollywood“.  Hilarious.
• Heather, of Leaves for Trees, had a great second post about the Brides Book she found in a local antique store.
• Genealogy Games for a Family Reunion.  How cool!  Head over to Olive Tree Genealogy to read some cool ideas!
• Go over and congratulate Bill West of West in New England.  He has hit ONE THOUSAND posts and deserves a pat on the back.

And now I’m off to clean the house and prepare food for our BBQ tomorrow.  We’ve invited 20-30 people over – a few of them from different countries.  I’m excited about being able to use my Russian with my new Kazakh friend.  It should be a lot of fun!
