- FamilySearch has announced its US Immigration and Naturalization
community indexing project is halfway to its goal of creating a free
online collection of US passenger lists, border crossing records,
naturalization records, and other immigration documents. Two months
into the project, 85,000 volunteers have indexed more than 15
million records.
FamilySearch hopes to have 30 million records
indexed by the end of the year. You can see what's
been indexed so far and register to help out at
FamilySearch.org/immigration.

According to Ancestry.com, actor George Clooney is Abraham Lincoln's
half-first cousin five times removed through Lincoln's maternal
grandmother, Nancy Hanks. Then men also share a home state of
Kentucky: Clooney was born in Lexington; Lincoln, in Hardin County.
Most genealogists understand such connections aren't really big
news—with every generation, each of us has exponentially more cousins, and some of them are bound to be famous (others are bound to
be deadbeats)—but writing this little blurb let me gaze at photos of George
Clooney.
- Speaking of making money doing genealogy, the Board for
Certification of Genealogists is offering new video
testimonials from professional researchers to help you decide
if certification is right for you. The site also has posted an hour-long
seminar about what you can expect from the certification
process (and what's expected of you).
