As found on ResearchBuzz:
Gregory O’Malley has gotten a grant to expand his slave trade database. http://news.ucsc.edu/2016/05/greg-omalley-slavetrade.html“Now with the help of a $220,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a project titled Final Passages: The Intra-American Slave Trade Database, O’Malley plans to add his research to the Voyages database. The project will create an interactive, free Web-based database about the slave trade within the Americas and integrate it into the Voyages site.”
The saga of being a family researcher. Or as other family members say: a full time non-paying job.

I just realized I can put my past newsletters that I published 1993+ online.
Here they are. My only intent is to share the information.
If they are available elsewhere let me know.

I edited the post from 15 April; mistakes fixed!
I've added a new project; damn. I'm writing an index to the book Voices From the Field by Eddie L Smith and Ben Patrick and should have it done within the week. The book is about families moved from Camp Butner.
How long it will take will depend on my secretary staying off the keyboard.

Here we are, April 2016 and I haven't written in a long time.
I have now linked a webpage http://www.comet-lines.com to my blog; the webpage includes a list of the books I had published with Edie Eader on Frederick County, Maryland records. Next will be to figure out how to get payments, I'm thinking PayPal, and get the sales here and not through Amazon.
I now also have a subscription to TNG and hope to soon attach family research groups to the page.
And now for more education about using the website though WordPress.
The Estate records project for Granville County, thank you, Heritage Books, was completed and I am now working on Land and Property records project for Granville County from the same transcriber.

Published 2013 found at Carroll Co, MD public library for the cost of a hardback book. "A disease in the public mind; a new understanding of why we fought the civil war" by Thomas Fleming. Published for $27, I thought it odd that it would be shunted out of the collection [thank you for my collection] so soon after publication.

Book of the day, which I am trying to catalog. "State of North Dakota
Dept of Public health statistical desk reference 1930-1935 Vol 2". This
is an original from the state, with hand written statistics in pen [red
and black] and pencil. For instance in 1930 they had 10 deaths from
Airplane accidents. As topic, state, public health, census? Suggestions
appreciated.

Book of the day [and this does have Memorial Day attribution] published
by the Maryland Commission on the publication of the histories of the
Maryland volunteers during the civil war. History and roster of Maryland
volunteers, war of 1861-5. Vol 2, Press of Guggenheimer, Weil &
co., 1898-99, 285 pages. It was a discard of the Historical Society of
Frederick County and I bought it at Wonder Book and Video [Thanks!]
years ago. Now the impressive facts about this book. As volume 2 in the
set, it includes a listing of all personnel of the Navy, Marines and
the United States Colored Troops. It was interesting to read the names
of those in the USCT who were transferred to the Navy, but only the
Navy. Thanks to them and the descendants of those that served.
