About archivecookie

I'm a Researcher, Archivist and Genealogist. I started researching my family tree in the mid-1970's before the internet made it so much easier, and more complicated.

I hope to blog about what I've found in my own research - maybe you'll find your missing link here! ;-) Follow Me on Mastodon Follow Me on Twitter Follow Me on Post Social Follow Me on CounterSocial
