Only in the Storm

Only in the storm can you see the art of the real sailor; only on the battlefield can you see the bravery of a soldier. The courage of a simple person can be seen in how he copes with the difficult and dangerous situations in life. (Daniel Achinsky in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 28 October)

I'm enjoying looking at, and reading, blogs and genealogy websites that other people have created.

Some folks working on genealogy caution that it is not wise to count on funeral home or newspaper obituaries to always be available online. They suggest that it is a good idea to capture our own copies.
