Genealogy Page Complete

By Jim Hagarty

Over the past few weeks, I have being writing (almost) daily tips on how to do genealogical research and family history projects. Today, I wrote tip number 25 and I think I will leave it at that for now. They are arranged from last to first but tomorrow I will reverse the order. The tips are located by clicking on Genealogy. My credentials are this: I have published a 400-page, hardcover book of family history and through my research I was able to find my family’s long-lost farm in Ireland in 1994. The house they lived in till the early 1850s was (and is) still standing. It can be done.

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
