Red Deer (Alberta) Residents in 1913

I know this project is over, but the Red Deer Branch of the Alberta Genealogical Society has put online the names of people who lived in that city in 1913, so that is why I decided to spotlight it today.

The project is the Centennial Family Project, and it asks the question - Are you a descendant of a person who lived in Red Deer (area) in 1913?

If you check the Surnames and Families of 1913 website at http://rdgensoc.ab.ca/SurnamesFamiliesof1913.pdf you may be able to find your ancestors.

The website of the Red Deer Branch is at http://rdgensoc.ab.ca

RootsTech 2015 - Day 1

So far, there has been two live videos from RootsTech 2015 at Salt Lake City, and they were -

Dear Myrt’s Mondays with Myrt – This was a 2-hour long video hosted on Monday by Dear Myrt from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Some of her guests were Hilary Gadsby from Wales, who blogs at The Edge of Snowdonia; Jill Ball from Australia, who blogs at GeniAus; and Michael Leclerc, who works and blogs for Mocavo. She also interviews David Pugmire from FamilySearch, who directs this year's Innovator Summit, which is to be held today at RootsTech 2015.

The second video was from Jill Ball, recapping Mondays With Myrt with her pictures that she took at the Family History Library. She provided a good synopsis of the meeting, and at the end of the video, said that she would be reporting on Tuesday’s supper with her friends from Australia and other Commonwealth countries.

RootsTech 2015 is on at Salt Lake City until Saturday, 14 February 2015.
