Fold 3 Free Access to Civil War Records 1 April 2016 Through 15 April 2016
The title says it all. Read more at the Fold3 Blog Here
If your ancestors were in the US in the 1860's then there is a good chance that the males served in the Civil War.
Definitely worth a FREE look! I have 5 relatives serve in the Civil War to include my paternal GG-Grandfather. His military record is a treasure I shall for ever cherish.

Today; 31 March 2016 is World Backup Day
It really only takes a minute! It may take longer to backup every file you have, but it can only be an instant and everything is gone to cyber heaven (or hell... you decide)
An interesting web link about World Backup Day
http://www.worldbackupday.com/en/
I have my files backed up continuously through Dropbox but I also bought a 1TB (Terra byte) external hard drive that plugs into my PC and I just do a simple copy/ paste of my files, though they do include software to automate the process. Not such a bad idea is it?
My files are important and losing them? Not an option!
Happy World Backup Day 2016!
