		<title>18th Century Deller</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve hit pay dirt, digging up the first direct ancestor on my main line in the 18th century.  Born in August of 1791, Johannes Deller was the child of Anton and Anna Maria Külbs.  I would have posted this a few hours ago, but it took that long to figure out how to type an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Horse of a different color</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I decided to scan every image on a microfilm that included Deller over in the page margin. It was towards the end of a trip to the Family History Library, and I did it on a whim. The film was of church records, written by a German speaking priest &#8230; in Latin. [...]]]></description>

		<title>You&#8217;re no Altar Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I had a $1.00 for every time I accused my father of not being an angel &#8230; well, I would still be broke.  But nevertheless, there is now photographic proof. Special thanks to Ellen.  And also, please send more.]]></description>

		<title>Got Spyware?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been asked by three separate people this week how to get rid of Spyware from their computers.  If you don&#8217;t have the extra cash to buy a new Macintosh, I have the following four  suggestions: Get rid of whatever expired AntiVirus or Internet Security software you are running (Norton, McAfee &#8230; etc) and switch [...]]]></description>

		<title>FamilySearch Pilot Kicks Ass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m really digging the updated FamilySearch Pilot.  It&#8217;s got a few quirks, such as the mouse wheel and tab key not always behaving like you might expect, but &#8230; who cares.  It&#8217;s FREE and more and more stuff keeps getting added. If you haven&#8217;t used it yet, imagine Ancestry.com but without 800 ads for &#8220;Who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small Town Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just pulled an obit for Jack Pennockof Longmont, who died in 1993.  I received the request from the RAOGK website.  There was also a 2nd article about Mr. Pennock in a 1988 newspaper: By Kaye Bache-Snyder Times-Call Corresponent Out on east ninth Avenue past Fox Hill Country Club golf course, a black, wrought-iron arch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a recent visit with my amazing Aunt Pat on Long Island, we sat down and browsed thru some old family photographs.  What an absolute treasure.  Most of the pictures were not labeled at all, and some had partial information.  Together, we played detective for a few hours and filled in as many of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worst seat in the house</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Family History Library has 2.4 million rolls of microfilm, 3 quarters of a million microfiche, a couple hundred thousand books and a bunch of other cool stuff.  Then why is it that the majority of the people here are sitting in front of computers looking at Ancestry.com and other online databases? I want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now with hidden advertisements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a handful of blogs.  I&#8217;ve noticed that a few of the genealogy blogs seem to hash the same news as each other, making it a little bit dry.  They&#8217;ll actually post other companies press releases and junk.  As an example, if Ancestry.com had a new feature, the bloggers would share it: PODUNK, IA [...]]]></description>
