For those who read my recent post on the Legacy Family Tree blog I have published a second post which looks tips and hints for researching in Italy.
You can read Starting Your Italian Research Journey over on the Legacy blog.
The first part, Pathway to my Sicilian Heritage is also available at the Legacy blog.
My post, Pathway to my Sicilian Heritage was published on the Legacy blog a little earlier this week. You can read it HERE
The idea for the image came from fellow genealogical blogger, Miriam Robbins in the US who writes at AnceStories: The Stories of my Ancestors and thought it was a great way to illustrate some of my Sicilian surnames, all of which are relevant to Sutera the predominant location for my Sicilian families, although a number did leave Sicily for the United States, more on that another time.

Oh my, it has been a long time since I sat and wrote here. A variety of domestic, personal and health issues have been an energy and brain drain. I am sure that you all know what I mean.
Yesterday evening we met up with some friends who are visiting from Australia. It was a lovely evening and just what I needed.
In the last year I have had a serious health issue, and whilst I have kept some balls in the air, many I dropped. If I have learnt anything from that is it this. You only live once and remove those people and things from your life that are toxic. I did the second one with reasonable ease and do not feel guilty for doing so. I am still here and taking each day as it comes.
One thing I have been doing is re-reading the book by Marie Kondo, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying” the poor recycling chap earlier this week could barely lift the bag of paper and genealogical magazines. There is no let up as next week there will be another full and over brimming bag!
Anyway, this was just a quick post to say that I am still here and will be back on a more frequent basis. I have lots to share and I still need to categories many posts that I imported from the blogspot site.
Until next time!
A few years ago I bought this newspaper which dates from 5 August 1939, The Market Traders’ Review
On the last page there is the following article about the market in North Street
The Anglers Rest blog first went online at Blogger in 2002. At the time of transfer, the counter was at 349,463.
It was moved to this site on 18th December 2015 when the counter was reset -:(
