again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blog<\/strong> \u2013 One of my new favorite blogs is <a href=\"http:\/\/genealogist-in-training.blogspot.com\/\">Blog of a Genealogist in Training<\/a>.\u00a0 Right now, the main focus of the blog is the author&#8217;s work on completing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ngsgenealogy.org\/cs\/homestudy_course_cd\">NGS Home Study Course<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Revolutionary War Pension File<\/strong> \u2013 This week, I found (by accident) the pension file for my sixth great-grandfather Solomon NORTON (aka NAUGHTON) on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.footnote.com\/\">Footnote<\/a>.\u00a0 What was more interesting than the pension papers, were the varied query letters in the file.\u00a0 One letter\u2019s author I recognized immediately.\u00a0 But there are letters from two other individuals who are apparently Solomon\u2019s heirs, but I do not have them in my tree as of yet, so I\u2019m curious to know how they are related.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Irish Records<\/strong> \u2013 I\u2019m just about finished reading the book <a

Edition<\/a>, by John Grenham.\u00a0 So far I\u2019ve learned about what records exist, where they exist, and how to obtain them.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to dive into my Irish heritage, and this book is a huge stepping stone to doing so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article<\/strong> \u2013 From Kimberly Powell\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/genealogy.about.com\/\">About.com Genealogy Blog<\/a>, is a good primer
