This month on the podcast, Jenkintown Library ditches Ancestry.com! I'll let you know where I'm getting my Ancestry fix now. It turned up some 18th century baptism records from Switzerland. Also, the second "Special Interest Group" at the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania was a success! I networked with a pair of interesting people there this month, and shared my own family history "brick wall" involving some 19th century Pickersgills. Links are in the show notes.

JENKINTOWN, Pennsylvania (GBT) — The Jenkintown Library canceled its subscription to Ancestry.com Library Edition earlier this month. A library official confirmed that budgetary considerations prompted the change. Jenkintown Library's subscription to Ancestry.com has been one of Tim G.'s primary research vehicles since he moved to Jenkintown from Northeast Philadelphia in January of 2020.
