Tag Archives: Theme: Genealogy By the States

No connections to Maine for me.  I do have some Maine resources bookmarked at Diigo though…maybe they’ll be helpful to someone with Maine roots. Genealogy By the States is a theme created by Jim Sanders over at the Hidden Genealogy Nuggets blog.

Not much connection to Alabama, other than two of my stepsisters and their families currently living there.  But I did decide to check out the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH) Digital Collections.

Between me and my husband, there are many relatives associated with many places Illinois.  My mind was spiraling out of control with the many things I could write about for this post. Ultimately I decided to share my growing list of online resources.

Not one person in my database has ties to Mississippi.  So off to my Diigo bookmarks to see what resources I had for Mississippi.  Only a few, but one seemed pretty interesting.  It’s called Mississippi History Now, which is an online publication of the Mississippi Historical Society.

I actually do have several people in my database associated with Indiana.  Most of them are very distant relatives or related to my husband.  But one family is that of a great-grandaunt, who left Illinois and lived in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.  It’s a very tangled web, one with multiple marriages and questions of paternity.  While I think I have most of the story figured out, there is still some work to be done.

Unfortunately I have absolutely no connection to Louisiana (except for some friends who moved there last year, fitting since they’re huge Saints fans!).  So this week, I implore you to check out a post that Miriam Robbins put together back in 2010 entitled 52 Weeks of Online American Digital Archives and Databases: Louisiana.  There are a lot of great resources to peruse! Genealogy By the States is a theme created by Jim Sanders over at the Hidden Genealogy Nuggets blog.

I do have a few ties to Ohio, and thanks to the various record collections available through FamilySearch, I was able to make this discovery. If you have family in Ohio, I highly recommend using the record collections at FamilySearch.  There are so many wonderful records for Ohio including death records, birth records, and marriage records.  I even came across Interment Registers for Cleveland, which helped me with a pre-1908 death.  They’re even adding probate records, although not all counties are available yet.

No major ties to Tennessee except for one of my husband’s families that lived in Tennessee for a few years after the Civil War.  So for this post, all I really have to offer is a few links to some online Tennessee resources.
