NoteWorthy Reads #14

Climbing My Family Tree: NoteWorthy Reads #14

For me, Noteworthy Reads are articles, websites, or blog posts I found this week which are fascinating, interesting and/or helpful, and occasionally “wacky” or “wonderful” will likely sneak in as well. It’s not going to be a “best of” post because I don’t have the knowledge to make that determination. I don’t even promise that the articles & blog posts will be written that week – just that I found them that week. At the end of each trimester I’ll review the posts to determine which entries should be put in my Resource pages; the rest will still be available through the blog's search function.

Note: Just because I list an article does not mean I endorse its contents. It just means I want to be able to find it easily in the future when I may want to consider the issue in more depth.

I’m still behind in my reading as I went on a mini-vacation, and then things went haywire. Moreso for others than for me, but I was not exempt from some of the stress. Hopefully, things are on their way to working out.

On my mini-vacation, I went to the South Carolina Book Festival, which was great fun, and at which I bought so many books I couldn’t pack them on the plane with me and had to have them all mailed home instead!

In this post, I caught up on the articles I emailed to myself; next week I intend to catch up on my Feedly backlog.

Study Reveals “Extraordinary” DNA of People in Scotland from the BBC.com (… since I’ve discovered I’m probably mostly Scottish!).

Hello! Thanks for stopping by and choosing to leave a message. I read every message and I usually reply via the comment thread. [I recently discovered that I've been having technical difficulties with receiving notification of comments for the last year (2019 through Jan 2020). I think I've fixed that now. I hope. My apologies if you were caught up in that. I think I"ve caught up with, and replied to, all the comments now. EDIT: I continue to have problems. I will respond as soon as I find out there's been a comment.]
