So the FGS and RootsTech conferences are merging in 2015. What say ye?
Barbara Conner of Michigan really took the Lucky 13 challenge to heart! Though she had never stepped foot in a pawn star before, she took the opportunity to do so during a Michigan to Mississippi road trip, and purchased a cigar box filled with letters a Tennessee serviceman had written to his new wife back home during WWII. Not one to let moss grow under her feet, she’s already located the family and will return this family treasure shortly. Next up? A bed-warmer dated 1895 with part of a name inscribed on it. This month’s grant, representing the second in the Lucky 13 series, was made in support of this and other orphan heirloom rescues planned by Barbara.
Those interested in joining the Lucky 13 initiative and rescuing family treasures can apply here.

The good folks at the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and the National Archives have teamed up for Preserve the Pensions, an initiative designed to fund the digitization of War of 1812 pension files. If you've ever been fortunate enough to come across pension files of any sort for your ancestors, you know how incredibly valuable they can be. If circumstances permit, I hope you'll consider possibly supporting this undertaking yourself.
