looking for women
WorldVitalRecords.com - Family History Bulletin: "Researching your elusive female ancestor can be difficult. Surname changes at marriage and the seemingly lack of records documenting the lives of women can make it difficult to conduct research in the same way you would for a male ancestor.
Newspapers are a rich source of genealogical information. They document a community on a daily or weekly basis. While they do contain the old genealogical standby, the obituary, they also contain so much more. Women can be found in all parts of the newspaper including feature articles, the society pages, advertisements, and more. Newspapers record weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and other celebrations. They also document the tougher times like divorces, court cases, crime and deaths."

Thank you, Hugh. I hope people don't get the wrong idea about ShoeStringGenealogy.com thinking it is a dating site! LOL Female genealogical research requires more attention on the part of the researcher because of marriages, divorces, additional marriages, reversion to maiden names, etc. Also, the further from the 20th Century we go, the less documentation we find for women.
Happy Dae·
yes Dae - my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I chose the blog title
only users confusing gynaecology and genealogy might be disappointed
