Umps

Argusleader.com (the website of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, newspaper) is featuring a story on Amanda Clement of Hudson, South Dakota, who was the first woman paid to umpire a baseball game.  What a great story!

TV for Genealogists: Heir Hunters

I stumbled upon this BBC program on YouTube last night, and its website notes that it airs on the History Channel in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.  (Some episodes are up on the official website, but they're not available for US viewers.  BBC America, you fail me again!  ::sigh::)  It profiles cases in which researchers search for rightful heirs to estates, which requires them to hunt backwards and forwards.  It might have some interesting info on how to find cousins.

Well said.

I felt I must come out of blogger hibernation to say that I LOVE this post:  The Genealogy Police.
