I began watching the Genealogy How-To Videos on NARA's YouTube channel after several geneabloggers pointed them out this week. While watching the video on immigration records the presenter discussed a record for Henry Vogt. This got me wondering, what would I do if Henry Vogt was my man? What if Henry was my Great Great Grandfather I had been tirelessly searching for over the past five years? Of course I would be doing the happy dance! But who has that happened to? Surely it's happened to someone? Listen later in the video and she will mention that somebody did recognize another individual they were discussing at a NARA workshop. THAT would be exciting!

Another genealogy series is about to be launched on television in the U.S. "Finding Your Roots" with historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. will launch on March 25. That will be the first episode of a 10-part series on PBS stations.
The new series will feature two people in each one-hour episode, including husband-and-wife actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who jokes she's afraid they might turn out to be cousins. "They are indeed distant cousins," revealed Gates. "Talk about six degrees of separation, right?"

Happy New Year 2012
Wishing all my followers the happiest and healthiest of New Years!
While you may have been expecting a New Year's graphic, I have chosen not to create one. Instead I will let my new blog header be my graphic. New year, new look!
Happy New Year!
