Thoughts from the Genealogy Convention

Posted on February 11th, 2010 by Margie Schwieterman

Immediately after I arrived home from the convention in Arizona, I headed to Alabama for a two month stay.  Settling in took longer than I anticipated,  but I should now be able to answer some of the posts and also share some of the tips I learned in Arizona.  The one that hit closest to me was the one about naturalization papers.  I had found the naturalization paper of my great grandfather and great uncle who were born in Germany.  However nothing surfaced for my great grandmother.  Chauvanistic, I thought.  Not true!  Whenever the male head of the family was naturalized so were all of his dependents.  A lesson learned!
