Shaking the tree

Summer time is a superb time to get together with kin. The beach, the mountains, the backyard...all places to 'be' with one another. Sometimes you want to share stories about those relatives who no longer can join you in person. Yet, you've told all the stories you know!

Have you looked at someones WWI draft registration card?
Or read a death certificate or marriage license?

These primary source documents can be found in Ancestry Library Edition through GALILEO on campus. ProQuest has been working on making navigating within Ancestry just a tad easier....

We are excited to announce the launch of the new site-wide navigation at the top of every Ancestry.com page. This change came about after a lot of research and gathering feedback from people who use the site every day.

You will find that it is quicker and easier for you to get where you want to go on the site. read more

So before the living get together, find something new to talk about when you mention old Uncle Sam - check out Ancestry on campus!
