One of the many volunteers from Find-A-Grave fulfilled a request for pictures of headstones for Jedediah Tuttle and Lydia (nee Porter) Tuttle. Jedediah's site can be found here while Lydia's can be found here.

Keeping your computer skills up-to-date can be difficult when you spend the majority of your spare time looking for your ancestors. Lynda.com makes computer training extremely easy and fun. They have a wide array of topics, lots of classes and training is very affordable.

Ever want to walk around in your ancestors' shoes? Well, now you can, kind of. There is a new service at http://www.fotowoosh.com that takes a 2D image and turns it into 3D. You'll have to wait a week or so before you can upload pictures but you can see some of the samples on the website now.

I reached out to the reference librarian at the Brookline (Massachusetts) in search of a genealogical society or group in Brookline that can help me find more information on Willard Wheeler and Emily (nee Stanford) Wheeler, my second great grandparents. Anne Clark, the reference librarian, was very helpful but unfortunately wasn't able to locate any information on Willard or Emily. However, she was able to find their Son Otis Dwight Wheeler through 1949.

Come to find out that Otis was a furniture mover first with 'Lord & Wheeler' and later with 'Otis D. Wheeler & Co.'.

Anne was kind enough to provide the name of the Town Clerk to see if she can help me find the death certificates of Willard, Emily, Otis and Harriet.

It's been a while since I've done an entry (you know, getting married and all) so I thought I better do some catching up. Google recently released Google MyMaps. It allows you to create maps of favorite restaurants, places you've been, places you would like to go, etc. However, these maps can easily be used for genealogical purposes whether it is places you would like to research, cousins, or tombstones.

Enjoy!
