About Olive Tree Genealogy
February 1996 saw Olive Tree Genealogy move to Rootsweb.com as the OTE site. In 1998 I was only able to return to work on a part-time basis, and my enforced and unexpected "free time" allowed me to continue developing and working on Olive Tree Genealogy site.
OliveTreeGenealogy.com was among the first to bring primary sources to the Internet with its Ships passenger lists from the Netherlands to New Yorkin the 17th Century. Immigration is a special love of mine and I have published hundreds of ships passenger lists on Olive Tree Genealogy
Over the past 13 years, Olive Tree Genealogy has grown to encompass more than 1500 pages of free genealogy information. You can read more about Lorine and Olive Tree Genealogy

My Pinterest Boards THE ISSUE A Pinterest user is repinning photos from other genealogists' pins (absolutely ok) BUT the links to the original blog post or website are gone and have been replaced with a link to this person's own website (not ok) HOW PINTEREST WORKS (AND THIS IS A GOOD THING) A user creates genealogy boards and pins to their boards with an article or a page from a blogMore Issues With Passing on Family Heirlooms and Preserving Their Provenance
Some of my family heirlooms My blog post Documenting and Passing on Family Treasures generated a lot of discussion. Comments left made me think about other possible problems that might arise when trying to decide what to do with family heirlooms.
