October 2007
Imagine if you could go back in time two hundred years and ask your ancestors questions.
How amazing would that be? Join us as we explore ways to give your descendants that
privilege in our article "An Obligation to Future Generations".
Next, do you know where the name of the place where you live came from?
This month we start a series on place name origins by examining North American place
names with native language origins. First take the fun quiz and then read the article.
Our "Handy Sites of the Month" are two of the titans of internet genealogy.
Join us as we explore familysearch.org and Cyndi's List. This article is a must
read for anyone who isn't already familiar with both of these sites. Our Book Review
is on "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" by Elizabeth Shown Mills.
Finally, we conclude our two part series on using search engines more effectively.
This month we discuss more advanced material such as Google Advanced Search and using
search operators.

What's New?
Work on the new familyhistoryplace.net continues. At this point we don't have an exact time for the launch of the new version. We're likely targeting fall 2008. Additionally, no new newsletters will be released during this time as we continue to dedicate our resources towards the development of the new version of our site.
