Pay attention to locations! I stumbled upon a documentary video about Fort Knox that included a photo of my great grandfather who was a guard in the gold bullion depository. #genchat

So true and scary! #genchat Around my neck of the woods a lot of the public libraries have digitization stations where you can convert old movies (and other things) to digital for free.

Perhaps ask an archivist at the local diocese if they were produced, and if so, is there a copy you can access.

#genchat I'm finding that myself. The genealogical and historical societies in NH are really good. I have just been picking up the phone and asking stupid questions and people will help you! I just joined the NH Genealogical Society because they have an excellent publication among other offerings.

DNA is a certainly a bunny trail...one new match could lead to a lot of discovery #genchat

I like BSO language too. I've been doing a lot of research in New Hampshire. The local historical societies are full of these too. Pick up the phone and talk to a local historian at one and the next thing you know...you're headed down multiple trails. #genchat
