This is one of those finds that can certainly help with genealogical research…and it has.  It’s the Sons of the American Revolution membership card for my great-granduncle, Joseph Webster GARRISON. I write about this today because I just received his application in the mail.  A quick glance seems to indicated that it may be adding 3 more generations to this line!  Not bad for $10.  After I have time to digest the information, I’ll post more.

There was an article in the November 2008 issue of Chicago previewing a new book entitled The Chicagoan: A Lost Magazine of the Jazz Age, by Neil Harris.  I thought anyone who’s interested in Chicago history might enjoy it. The Chicagoan, inspired by The New Yorker, was in publication from 1926 to 1935.  Harris, a history professor at the University of Chicago, found the rare publication and compiled a sampling of the content into this interesting book. Visit Amazon for the product details and raving reviews.

I saw this over at Life With a Scrappin’ Mama.  SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 240 films on this list. Copy this list, then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, and contemplate if you have a life or not. Have fun.

I am an organization freak.  Prior to the GeneaBlogger Games back in August, I had already started to organize my photos.  While participating in the games, I finished the task and have since been busy scanning them.
