LEGACY TIPS
1) How to print Legacy News articles from within Legacy Home - Question from
Kimberly: "How do you print your articles from Legacy home view?" Viewing
these Legacy News articles from within Legacy Home (version 6 feature), is
very convenient - just click on the article's link and you're there.
Printing the articles from within Legacy Home is almost as convenient. While
there is no print button (yet) in Legacy Home, when you're viewing the
actual article, simply . . . Read the complete article at

2) Brick wall solutions - When researching a brick-wall ancestor, any new
information provides renewed hope. One of the proven brick-wall
recommendations is to create a timeline of the ancestor. Timelines provide a
unique perspective of the ancestor's life and may help you pick up on
something that you've missed before. I've been stuck on John McCALL's
origins for quite some time now. Yesterday I decided to review his timeline
again. . . . Read the complete article at

4) The Ancestry Card Catalog Feature is Here - The Ancestry Card Catalog is
a way to search all of Ancestry's 25,000+ database titles. Now it is even
easier to find the database you are looking for. Search by title and/or
keyword to narrow a search or focus on a particular record type.
Additionally, searches can be limited to a particular time period or
geographic region you're researching. There is even an option to search by
the date that the database was last updated to see what new additions exist.

TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS
1) Top 10 Search Tips for Census Success - We all have ancestors we would
swear were somehow skipped or overlooked by the census taker. It's more than
likely that some of them were. More often, however, it's an indexing error
that has us running in circles. When online census indexes leave you pulling
out your hair in frustration, try these census search tips for locating your
'misplaced' ancestor. . . . Read the complete article at
http://legacynews.typepad.com/legacy_news/2006/05/top_10_search_t.html
2) Cardinal rule when working with census records - One of the cardinal
rules that most new genealogists are given when working with census records
is, "Make note of surrounding families on the census population schedules."
While you may have been told to note a different number of families on
either side of your family, such as two, four, six, or some other number, I
heartily agree with this strategy. . . . Read the complete article at

TECHNOLOGY TIPS
1) Converting & Preserving Old Movies: What to do and what to avoid - If you
have old video recordings on VHS tapes, it's time to start thinking about
converting them to today's technology. Unfortunately, each time you play a
VHS tape it wears out a little more. Your old celluloid movies are becoming
more brittle and silently fading away more each day. It's time to think
about breathing some new life into your video collection. . . . Read the

2) In case you missed the recent Family History Technology Workshop - Each
year, Brigham Young University sponsors a Family History Technology
Workshop. This year's workshop featured Peter Norvig, Director of Research
at Google. Lectures discussed emerging technology that will impact our
genealogy research. In case you missed the conference, BYU has now published
abstracts and slides of the lectures. Take a look at some of the lecture
