We continue with the trial of Wesley Johnson, the murderer of George Williams and his wife, Isabella Williams, hearing his account of what happened, witness accounts, as well as learning the details of his execution. Buckle up, this case is not for the weak, as it has twist and turns of a twisted individual with little to no remorse for his actions. Join me in the conclusion of the Double Murder Near Wauseon.

Cluster & Collateral Research

I want you all to stop and think for just a minute. Think about all the friends, coworkers, and neighbors you see each and every day. How many of those people will show up on your family tree one day? It's a good question, right. Something we don't often think about. And probably a few of those surnames might pop up in your tree. But, it's important to remember that you're part of a bigger community, one that shapes who you are and the decisions you make, just as much as your blood relatives.

HOW TO: Land Records & Genealogy Research

Land records are one of the most underutilized resources in genealogy, believe it or not. What once brought immigrants to America, the ability to obtain land, is often completely forgotten in research. Established countries, like Europe, almost all land had been titled for years, even centuries. Laws of primogeniture (inheritance by only the FIRST SON) ensured that properties wouldn't be split up into smaller parcels, but that also meant that other children couldn't inherit the land.

10 Brick Walls And How To (Possibly) Break Them Down

As a Genealogist... you've probably already discovered that the term "Brick Wall" is discussed almost regularly! We love to chat about the brick walls that are blocking our search into families' pasts. Usually, these brick walls are only detours that we can find our way around by stepping back and taking a fresh look at our research.... seeking out different record types... or doing some cluster research to find a clue buried in the overload of information.
