Several years ago FRECOGs had Ronald BREMER as a speaker.  Among other things, he is editor of Genealogy Digest. I was going through some files and found my notes on records references he discussed.  He broke sources into 2 groups-Bad and Good.  The Bad list first: family tradition, printed family history, DAR lineage books, census, tombstone, death certificate, obituaries, general reference works, family groups sheets, and Adamic lineages.
    I can hear you mumbling, "What else is there?"  The good list:  Judicial court records, property transfer records, probate records, qualified vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce, sexton records, adoption, founding, orphan court, and bastardy bonds), church records-denominational yearbooks, fraternal societies-Mason, alliances-as in immigrant, life insurance companies, military-adjunct general office and militia lists, and stories in newspapers-but not obituaries.
    Woe to you who use poor references-document your sources.

I am currently working on indexing

Heritage and homesteads : the history and architecture of Granville County, North Carolina.

Author:	Patricia A Esperon; Andrew J Carlson; Marvin A Brown; Granville County Historical Society.

Publisher:	Oxford, N.C. (P.O. Box 1433, Oxford 27565) : Granville Historical Society, 1988.

      New in my world, I got an article written up and sent off to the president of GCGS [Granville County Genealogical Society] relating a ca 1900 letter in a vertical file on the Dorsey family to a article in the Baltimore Sun with the letter writer in the Sun giving information of the descendents of the same family. Unfortunately the author of the article in the Sun was listed with one of those names that they give you the first name and in the last name is just an initial.

In this day and age, information from research can come from many different sources.
    As a paralegal student, I found that my previous experience doing research enhanced my ability to obtain my paralegal certificate.
    Books I have helped compile were bought by the State Law Library in Maryland where formerly  resided.
    This previous research experience deals with family research, and to use a word that makes law librarians shudder-genealogy.
    I hope to change this perception. Those who do family research, for the most part are on the same page as most paralegal research requests.
    Explanations of Bard v Poe, beyond a reasonable doubt vs Preponderance  of evidence and the genealogy standard of evidence can be found explained in several places on the internet.
    This is the standard required by many authorities for publication. Few discussions of research results can match those published with poor documentation...
    Which professions work as certified genealogists? Private investigators, lawyers, teachers, college professors. What kind of records to they access and what sites do they use on the internet? Think big.

    So next time you need a record checked, but don’t know how to access it, ask a family researcher.
    My research does not require that I know the answer, but that I know how to research and find the answer[s].

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.”

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.
