AmericanAncestors Adds Images of The Boston Transcript's Genealogy Column

AmericanAncestors.org the website of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) has added images of The Boston Transcript's Genealogy column.

Currently covering 1911 to 1941 (the column ran from 1906 to 1941) the collection is browsable only not searchable. The tip is to use the American Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI) on Ancestry.com as a search aid to find the newspaper year/month/date that an ancestral surname (ancestor) appeared. Also many issue from the 1850s to 1910s are on Google News Archive.

The genealogy column consisted of queries from across the country dealing with ancestral questions regarding ancestors in many places and time periods -- not just New England. These queries were answered by readers and others too.

If you are not a member of NEHGS or a subscriber to Ancestry.com, just visit the Mount Clemens Public Library's Genealogy and Local History Room where both subscriptions are available for library patron use.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
