Ask Ancestry Anne: How is Cousin Bait Working for You?

I did a Livestream,  Cousin Bait: Blogging to Find Your Family in January.  The video and slides are available if you are interested.

I was fortunate to make a connection, not with a cousin, but with a lovely lady, Martha, who went to high school with my father. She sent me relevant yearbook pages for both my father and my grandfather.  My grandfather is in the upper left corner: Most Dependable.

I talk about it on my blog in The Gift of Yearbook Pages.

I’m curious to hear if anyone else has had some success with blogging and finding new connections.


Happy Searching!

— Ancestry Anne

You can browse this rich collection for a glimpse into relatives’, friends’ and celebrities’ past, from more formal class portraits to team photos and fun, candid shots. In total, the collection now stands at 53,000 yearbooks and approximately seven million images.
