It's been a busy month in GenealogyLand! This issue covers the new Pope's roots, the soon-to-be new owner of 23andMe, several soldier homecomings (both WWII & Korean War), a cool Irish research tool, and a piece on what grandparents really think of their grandkids' first names. And then there's the fun chat I had with Damian Shiels and Fin Dwyer about all things Annie Moore (of Ellis Island)! Here's hoping there's a little something for everyone.
Until next time, stay cool!
Annie Moore: The First Immigrant through Ellis Island
On January 1, 1892, Annie Moore of Ireland tripped into the pages of history and became the poster child of immigration by being the first to arrive at Ellis Island. And then she disappeared. Adding insult to injury, a different Annie Moore usurped her place in history decades later. Now – 150 years after her birth and 100 years after her death – a determined genealogist finally sets the record straight and reveals the true story of Ellis Island’s first.
