Having just got off a Crowdcast virtual meeting of the Rhode Island Genealogical Society (RIGS) and needing to complete some projects before dark, here are a few suggested reads for this weekend.
1. National Geographic published an article today by Bill Newcott titled, "400 years on, the Pilgrims get a reality check." You can access the article here.
2. And speaking of the Pilgrims, this week (Wednesday, November 11–coinciding with Veterans Day) marked the 400th Anniversary of the signing of the Mayflower Compact. Those with Mayflower ancestry might be interested in reading more about the Compact and can do so by going here, here and here.
3. Continuing the Mayflower theme, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower The Weekly Genealogist of American Ancestors/NEHGS announced this week the release of the world's largest Mayflower lineage database. The database contains the authenticated lineages of all the Mayflower passengers. You can read more and search the database by going here, but note that you must be a member to access images and transcripts.
4. James Tanner, of Genealogy's Star blog, posted part 3 of his series on reading handwritten documents. You can read the post here.
5. I am nowhere near ready to do any writing and publishing of a proof argument relying on DNA, but for those of you who are and are wondering what the process would involve, you can get some insight by going to this piece by Nicole Dyer at Family Locket –"How to Write and Publish a Proof Argument with DNA Evidence."
