Tips for a First Time Trip to New York City

By Jody Halsted June 9, 2010

New York City

Finding My Story at The Genealogy Center in Fort Wayne

By Jody Halsted July 13, 2016

Piles of books hide genealogists at The Genealogy Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

What would become the Allen County Library was begun by the Fort Wayne Woman’s Reading Club in 1895. I’m sure they never imagined their project, designed […]
