July was a busy month.Ā After wrapping up the latest issue of Digging History Magazine, featuring the Prairie State of Illinois, I tackled a number of client projects ā genealogical research, writing family stories and designing family history charts.Ā Here are some examples.

Digging History Magazine - Illinois: The Prairie State
The third issue of 2026 features articles on Illinois, āThe Prairie Stateā. Digging History Magazine is a bi-monthly digital publication which combines the disciplines of history and genealogy, our philosophy being that in order to be adept at one discipline (genealogy) one must be well-versed in the other (history).Ā The latest issue is available by individual purchase here or by subscriptionā¦

What's In a Name: Wartime Baby Names
American humorist Evan Esar once said, āa signature always reveals a manās character ā and sometimes even his nameā.Ā In the case of those highlighted in this article, their names more likely spoke volumes about the political leanings of the family they were born into. I came across these years ago when I was writing āTombstone Tuesdayā articles for the Digging History blog. The more I researchedā¦
Pedigree Collapse: Are We All Cousins?
Have you ever thought about how many ancestors one person could possibly have? Mathematically speaking, taking oneās family tree out thirty generations would result in about a BILLION ancestors. Taking it out forty to fifty generations would result in approximately a TRILLION ancestors ā more people than have EVER lived on the earth! Of course, that has never happened (or ever will), but why isā¦
Obsolete Occupations: Getting Knocked Up (a queer English custom)
If you regularly research family history, youāve probably come across occupations which you donāt recognize.Ā Technology has steadily replaced, and made obsolete, many common jobs our ancestors performed.Ā Even things which we find quite common today, werenāt at all common back then (if they even existed at all).Ā For instance, not everyone in eighteenth century England had a clock or watch.
