Art - Free Clip Art

For the last few days I've been exploring the exciting world of Clip Art. In particular, Free Clip Art. Someone suggested I could "pretty up" my blog with clip art instead of drawing my own art all the time. I've been looking at some of what is out there. To be honest, a lot of it is sad. I've seen better artwork fluttering in a tiny first grader fist at the end of the day. On the other side, I have found a couple of sites where the work is very interesting. One if them is -

http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/


The Graphics Fairy has some beautiful work. She posts often with great clips of antique postcards, interesting font types, and some very colorful clips of assorted things. It's a great site.

Some of the work is from the mid 1800's to the early 1900's. Before any of you young whipper-snappers out there make the comment, I was not around when this was brand new. That is not why I like it. <smile>.

I do have a picture, very similar to this one, of my Great-grandmother and a group of ladies.


This is only a tiny sample of what she has. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Genealogy Sites

I have discovered two sites that are new to me. I hope you will check them out, if you are interested.

1 - http://members.tripod.com/~L_Alfano/immig.htm  

- it's called The Immigration Experience  - This isn't a page for someone just searching for names and dates. It's a site for someone looking for a more complete picture of what your Immigrant Ancestors went through. It is a very good page at painting a picture of their experiences as they entered this country. Be sure and click on all the red words to get a more complete picture -  with other articles linked to the main page. This includes articles of other places the immigrants came in, a fire at Ellis Island, and articles about Angel Island in California where they came into, too. Relax, take a little while, and get a better picture of the past. This is an old site and a few of the links are no longer working, but most do. There is even a link to a page of old post cards of Ellis Island. Did you know they sold food to the immigrants at Ellis Island? They include a list of what they sold and how much it cost.

2- For anyone who has played with genealogy for long, the name "Dear Myrtle" is familiar. She writes a column about genealogy and teaches all kinds of things in them. I found a site where all her old messages are kept - starting from 1999. Once again, these are old emails, so some of the links are broken. Weed through the pile and a lot of them are still interesting and useful. I found them very educational when I was just starting out. Looking at them now, there are still sites and info in there I can use. Find the old stuff at -

Have fun with these. I am.
