Genealogy According to Jeff

A while back I was talking about creating a book based upon my articles with a friend at an FGS Conference and was trying to think of a title. I mentioned that the articles all have a slightly different approach since there were going to be several articles on the same topic in each issue. I said that it was going to be genealogy according to Jeff, when he said that should be the title.

Many of the articles that I wrote for Heritage Quest Magazine and the Everton's Genealogical Helper over the years are being posted here. Newer comments and observations are also being added

Some of the articles will be posted in their entirety while others may be posted in sections, revised, or have comments added.
Many have become Lecture Topics.
