It is always exciting to see that little green leaf on Ancestry or to stumble upon a record but be warned: always double check and verify sources.
This morning I was doing a random search for an obituary to feature here today. I entered the search parameters of last name Still and place of death Pennsylvania. I found this:
Kentucky? Now, the obituary was actually correct. It was simply the preview that gave the wrong state. However, had I not known him personally - this is my mom's brother, my Uncle Tom - I would have been confused. Always verify!
Sunday's Obituary is a genealogical prompt of GeneaBloggers.
