Cash paid for your pre-owned zeppelin, dirigible, or impellers. Tour our boneyard–if we don’t have it, no one does.

Posts are organized into self-explanatory categories. Clicking on the categories listed to the right of the first post will access all posts in that category. A post may appear in more than one category.
If you want a precise search, use the Search box beneath the headline banner. If you want to access posts by month, click on that month under Archives.
At the present time, the WordPress software only allows moving posts around by adjusting the “Published on” date, so explore the categories or sail through the posts to see everything. “Pages” remain in the order shown. I’ve recently transferred several POSTS into the PAGE section, where they will remain in order. There’s no way to put a permanent list of all the material in the right-hand column.
I often revise posts (especially for a few days after first appearance) as additional material suggests itself. Periodically check a post of interest to see if anything’s been added. I’ve combined several posts of related material into single posts.
Links to websites noted in individual posts or pages also appear in the “LINKS TO FURTHER INFORMATION” widget in the sidebar.
The evidence of slavery in deeds, court records, and wills can be disturbing, but they’re often the only place where names of slaves are given and relationships among them stated. By following the paper trail, sometimes an African-American pedigree can be extended into the antebellum period.

___________________________________________________
ACME NUKLEAR BLIMP represents my contribution to family history and the genealogical community. I publish columns to encourage genealogists to explore records groups and research strategies of which they may be unaware. I’m not a professional genealogist and I don’t solicit clients or accept research assignments.
My family was offered an arrangement that would have kept this records collection within the family, with no restriction on use, but we were unable to reach an agreement. The records collection (housed in a 4-drawer file cabinet) will be donated to a library in 2010.
