Genealogy is about family. It is about reaching out and connecting with people around the world. Today, the world reaches out to mourn with the families in France who are suffering tremendous loss.
My sincere condolences to all who lost a loved one during last night’s horrific attacks in Paris. Toutes mes sympathies à Paris et la France.
The following are some of the genealogy blog posts and articles I discovered this week before tragedy struck Paris.

Hello,
Thank you for posting a link to my article, Letters to My Children, on your post. I want to make a slight correction. The author of the article is me, Deborah Sweeney, not Andrea Reese. Andrea is the photographer who took my headshot picture.
