Want to carry your family tree in your pocket? There's an app for that! Ancestry.com has released "Tree To G0" for the iPhone and iTouch, and it's exactly what I've been looking for. The app allows you to log in to your Ancestry.com account and access the family trees you have created on their site. As a FREE app, that alone would be a reason to rejoice; but it gets better...

It's a real fluff piece with a couple shots of the new interior. No mention of what the renovation means for the library. sighMitch Clendeninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618943480018222847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947015.post-79287201035484452692009-03-02T08:25:00.004-06:002009-03-02T08:53:01.916-06:00Clayton Renovation Hilighted in Chron There's an nice writeup in The Houston Chronicle this morning about the renovation of the original William L. Clayton home. The Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research is located on the grounds of the home. The article wraps the hard news of the renovation around a feature of Maurice Allen, from Detroit, who flys in to use the library (he works for Continental).

Kevin Brady discuss what he's seen in his district in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. One of the things he mentioned was seeing bodies lying in the street. The bodies were from a nearby cemetery. I guess it shows two things... that nature is no respecter of the dead, and don't count on finding your ancestors where you left them.Mitch Clendeninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618943480018222847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947015.post-8579551619858444292008-02-05T06:48:00.000-06:002008-02-05T07:08:01.503-06:00Return to Blogging/Andrew P. ClendeningAfter a long pause, I'll try to update my research on a more timely basis. Keeping in that vein....I've finally found a photo of the headstone for Andrew P. Clendening. Andrew was the only son of my great-great-great grandfather Robert W. Clendening to serve in the Civil War. Andrew died 8 Apr 1865, far from home.. at the Union Army hospital on David's Island, near Staten Island.

John was the brother of my great-great-great grandfather Robert Clendening. They were both born in Ireland, and came to the US with their mother Ann and several sisters (not sure if it was 2 or 3 sisters) sometime before 1833. They came before the Potato Famine migration, and seemed to arrive with money for land.John married Cassandra Mitch Clendeninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618943480018222847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947015.post-1161863552972042002006-10-26T06:52:00.000-05:002006-10-26T07:02:08.683-05:00History of the Baptists, Thomas Armitage | The Reformed ReaderGreat information on the early settlement of Providence.
