Last week I announced a new, free online service for genealogists, called the Encyclopedia of Genealogy. This is a project I have been working on for a few weeks. While I'm the person who created the "shell" of this new service, much of the information within it is written by newsletter readers, such as yourself. If you missed last week's announcement, you can read it here.
I must admit that I am quite pleased with the first week of operation. A couple dozen newsletter readers have offered new content or have corrected existing information within the Encyclopedia of Genealogy. Here is a partial list of some of the articles added or updated by newsletter readers and myself within the past week:
