Welcome to WNY Roots

I created this site back in 2007 as an outlet for blogging on genealogy and related content for the Western New York region. One thing led to another and I didn't have an opportunity to get it off the ground. I relaunched this website on 7 Mar 2009 and its my hope to possibly tie in a weekly genealogy talkcast. I'm looking for feedback on this idea... please visit the discussion board and let me know what you think. Note: I rebuilt the site from scratch. If you were a registered user before, you will need to re-register. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Mom and Grandma are sisters???

A couple weeks when I was reading Randy Seaver's blog he asked bloggers to look up their "#21". On an Ahnentafel report, you're #21 would represent one of your great great grandmothers. In my case it was woman named Evelyn (Stach?) Finch. Her maiden name was always a mystery to me. The only clue I had was the 1880 Census which listed her husband's mother-in-law living with the family and her name was Catharine Stach?

What is a talkcast?

Are you familiar with a podcast? If not, follow this link to Wikipedia's article about podcasts.
A talkcast is similar to a podcast but it is produced live and hosted by a company called TalkShoe. It is basically a live radio show broadcast over the internet where listeners have two options available to them to call into the show.

So I finally relaunch this site yesterday after almost a year and as soon I get to the point where I like how the site is looking... all of my websites get attacked by hackers!!! Let's try this again!
