Are you new to genealogy? When researching do you sometimes come across genealogy terms and wonder what they mean? This "Family History & Genealogy Glossary" link is your solution. https://www.polishcitizenshipbydescent.org/family-history-and-genealogy-glossary/
This link came to CVGS from Rachael, a student working on a family history research project, during an afterschool program. During her internet research, Rachael came across the CVGS website, which she says was a great find! She was able to get some excellent info from our website and really enjoyed the project. Rachael told afterschool volunteer Diane, that they should reach out to say thanks. “To pay back the favor,” Rachael and Diane picked out this glossary of basic genealogical terms for beginners to share with CVGS and for us to put on our website. Best wishes to Rachael, a new genealogist.

In August 1955, in a barn in the Mississippi Delta, men tortured and murdered a 14-year-old named Emmett Till. Author Wright Thompson, who grew up in nearby Clarksdale, MS, only recently learned about the barn. To uncover the forces that culminated in the murder of a Black child, Thompson reports the history of the new United States, Mississippi and Township 22 North where the barn stands, in essence doing a genealogy of the location and those who populated the forest and later the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, “The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi” is a must-read to learn the how and why of a racially motivated murder. It is also a book that shows us how vast research can fill in the color and times of our own family histories.
