Are you curious about your Family History and want to know more, but just don't have the ability or time to do the research yourself? Would you like to discover what interesting things might have happened to your Ancestors?

How much do you know about your ancestors? Were they pioneers, entrepreneurs, immigrants looking for a better life or just for religious freedom? What challenges did they face, what was their day-to-day life like? Do you know what motivated them to come to America?

Do you look like your ancestors? What characteristics or traits have you inherited from your ancestors? And what can they teach you about yourself and about your own life patterns and choices?

These are some of the questions that encourage us to gain more knowledge about our ancestors. Are there additional questions that have motivated you to explore your family history?

If you are curious about who your ancestors are and what places and events shaped their lives, then you have come to the right place. Genealogy research can help you learn about your family's unique history, traditions, origins, and how those things led to your life.

Allow The Genealogy Assistant be your guide on a voyage into the past. The Genealogy Assistant offers a number of genealogical and historical research services that can be tailored to meet your needs to can help you in the search for your ancestors. For us the reward is in the journey, whether we are researching your ancestors or our own.

Reunion 10 Released

The long awaited release of Reunion 10 Genealogy Data management software for MAC finally was released last week. Most Reunion users love the platform, but had seen the need for some changes and upgrades and now it has finally happened.

I have been a user of Reunion for many years now and I also could see there was places for some improvements to an already great product. Yesterday I downloaded this latest version. As always the conversion of old files to the new version were quick and painless, and lets face it a file with only 14,000 people listed in it does not take very long.

My first impression was WOW this interface looks so much more user friendly. Almost everything is at your fingertips and it is much easier to maneuver around the family tree. I cn see getting a lot more data entry done in a shorter amount of time with this new interface. Of course with any new major software upgrade there is going to be some learning curve, but if you have used Reunion before I do not think it will take much adjusting.

Used Bookstore - What a Goldmine

I was returni

ng from running errands the other day and for some unknown reason, my thoughts went to the used bookstore that is in the town I live in. I had not been there in many years and decided to stop by.

Old Number Six Book Depot is not far from the center of Henniker, NH. It boasts having one of New England's largest collection of reading material. You will believe their claim to 165,000 volumes the moment you walk in. It is wall-to-wall & floor-to-ceiling books and literature, with narrow walkways between shelves with some isles having books on the floor as there is no room on the shelf. The pleasant pungent odor of old paper fills your nostrils as you walk around. Everything is very well organized & the owner, Ian Morrison knows where everything is.

A Surprise in the Wrocław Cemetery

I was visiting my cousin Adam in Wroclaw at the end of August during my stay in Poland this summer. Adam took me to the Wroclaw Community Cemetery to show me graves of some family members. Adam prepared ahead of time by calling the cemetery office and found out the location of the graves we were interested in. A smart move!

The person in the office surprised both of us with some information we were not expecting. There were two children that had the family name, but neither of us were aware of these children.

The Community Cemetery in Wrocław is VERY Beautiful, and also very large. This is not a cemetery that you want to just wander through to locate graves of your ancestors.
