Most journals are regional or very local and can be associated with the places where events occurred in your ancestors' lives. I never said it would be easy :-)James Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989059644120454647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-6794362267852133122015-09-01T06:22:17.866-07:002015-09-01T06:22:17.866-07:00I certainly agree.

I've found some Bible records and loose courthouse records in them. Some journals, like the NEHGR, date back many years. Another gem to be found in them are gravestone epitaphs from stones that have been lost to time. Maybe the FindMyPast project will bring in a new audience to PERSI and they will find out what they have been missing.
