The Missouri State Genealogical Association sponsored the 30th Genealogy Conference which attracted 170 family-history enthusiasts. Chairwoman Nancy Thomas clarified the goals of the conference by saying that it helps attendees to navigate genealogical records and the pitfalls involved. The lineup was composed of a variety of courses covering many topics including newspaper research, how to separate fact from fiction, accessing military records and online databases. Participants of the conference also had the chance to speak to experts via the conference’s new program “Ancestry Roadshow”.
Hank Jones, the genealogy expert featured on “Unsolved Mysteries” was the keynote speaker for the conference. Jones spoke about the common misconceptions and hurdles one has to overcome when researching family history.
Jones warned conference attendees not to put all of their effort into one document since sources can be deceiving. Even though he has had multiple success stories, he outlined some common errors in his presentation, When Sources Are Wrong. “I wish I didn’t have to give this talk, but it happens all the time,” he said. “Erroneous sources are part of the territory.”
When one engages in the world of online dating, a certain number of little white lies are almost always involved. After all, what’s an inch, or pound or two, among two people who are destined **cough** to become life partners? According to the majority of online daters, these slight untruths are trivial. At least, that is the logical conclusion one must draw in considering the fact that more than half of all online daters lie about their weight. Height and annual income are also squarely on the list of most-modified truths, and with details like these already on the line, can greater online treachery be just a stone’s throw away?
This, in fact, seems true as a growing number of scammers have taken to the field of online dating as the next, great cash-rich territory to conquer. After months or even years of building a trusted relationship, these significant others-slash-fraudsters will brazenly make a request for money – for a sick relative in need, to make a trip for the long awaited union, or for any other crisis or situation that is likely to tug on your heart strings and open your wallet. What’s more, online daters make even more attractive victims because they are less likely than victims of other scams to report such activity after suffering the embarrassment, heartache and emotional turmoil of having taken part in a relationship forged on fakery.
The biggest question floating around the Internet this weekend, is most certainly, is Hatmanncara for reals?? Well, it’s not far fetched that somebody could actually be this way — heck, I can name off at least three people I know right now, but the part that’s hard to believe and that makes this whole video unbelievable to begin with is that somebody would openly admit it!
Online dating is a billion dollar industry that is growing by the day. Time is short, life is busy, and sometimes it’s just not that easy to get out there and meet the person of your dreams. Thanks to a comprehensive list of online dating statistics research put together by ManVsDate, we know that in the United States alone approximately 40 million people use a service, and the average age of the online dater is 48. By gender, slightly more males (52.4%) date online than females (47.6%), and the average time spent on a single visit to a site is just over 22 minutes.
Here we go again, they wanted to be more than friends… Following in the footsteps of infamous unfaithfuls Tiger Woods and Jesse James (husband of actress Sandra Bullock), in the latest celebrity news, big screen mega star and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a love child with former housekeeper Mildred Baena, who worked for power couple Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver for two decades before retiring in January. Arnold and Mildred’s son is now 14 years old, and was conceived before Arnold became governor of California.
