Goodwill Genealogists search for family bibles, photographs, genealogies, letters, and other documents that give richer meaning to our family histories.
Once acquired, we carefully digitize each piece by hand, catalogue and upload them so they can be found by you!
Yes, it takes a lot of time to do this but we delight in making connections between family members and these ancestral artifacts.
If you find family treasure here, you can copy the pages directly from the posts in the Family Pages . Sometimes, the originals are available for purchase. Contact us info@goodwillgenealogists.com.
What do we ask if you copy and share materials from our collections?

Very great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve truly loved surfing around your weblog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and
I hope you write once more very soon!
Just wish to say your article is as astounding. The clarity in your post is
just spectacular and i could assume you are an expert on this subject.

At this time it sounds like Movable Type is the preferred blogging
platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

We’re always very happy when there’s a match for someone! Did you discover new information?
Very moving—-beautiful–
The ultimate “lost” and then “found”
what a gift!
This is such a great idea! I’ve had the experience myself (I was the giver) and it felt really wonderful to find a descendant via Ancestry.com and send her the originals of the ancestor’s book notes!
Thanks so much for doing this!
Thank you! You’re right, it is a terrific feeling to be the giver! In some ways, being a genealogist is the ultimate social networker–we work in the present to touch the past and connect to the future.
