Links to the Past

WIRoots.org is undergoing a redo. That is my site I have for Wisconsin Genealogy. I will be further partnering with the WisNetwork.com and enhancing the resources on each county page.

If you have any Wisconsin links such as family tree links, resources, Genealogical Societies, Historical Societies or Musuems…anything of historical value that might be helpful to genealogists, please let me know and I will tell you how you can get the link added to the WisRoots.org.

Some of you have reported a problem with pages loading since I redesigned the site.  I spent the last two weekends redoing the code on the pages that were a problem.  Pages should fully load for you now.

If you continue to experience a problem please shoot me an email and let me know what page you were on and I will fix it.

To view a page that is a problem, hold down the shift key and hit the refresh button on the top of your page (that looks like green arrows that go in a circle)  That should help load you page completely.

Ellen suggested I get a Google search engine, so I did. I got a site specific one.

I hope it works good for you.

US scientists at Carnegie Mellon university have developed a 3D scan technology which is aiding in revealing who is buried in a 200 year old cemetery.

Moss, debris, dirt and wear often make it difficult to read many older tombstones. This new technology scans the object and aids in distinguish the hidden inscriptions and carvings. They plan to use this same technology to aid archaeologists in deciphering ancient runes.

It also fascinated me when Christina Jimenez reported this same technology can be used to scan one’s tongue and determine illnesses.

You can read more here (including a photo of the tombstone before and what they were able to enhance with the scan):
