IN THIS EDITION
FROM THE EDITOR We've all known someone who lost all their family tree information in a hard drive crash or worse, a disaster that destroyed even more than electronic information. So I'm happy to bring you news of a free service that will let you back up family tree files stored in your genealogy software—read more below.
Also this week, we bring you guidance for tracing Hispanic roots, our Photo Detective's analysis of a family farm photo, a tip for interpreting relationship words such as "nephew" in old records, and more.
