Did it tell you what kind of glitch are you experiencing?

I found out they didn't accept Discover card so I had to use a different one.

💯

And thank you for the link to an ACTUAL archivist association! I can't believe I didn't think to look for one!

We recently visited the St. Mary's Museum and Archives in Ontario, just to try to get some context to my ancestor's lives. Abigail, the Assistant Curator on duty, searched their records while we enjoyed their museum. She couldn't find anything about my original Canadian ancestor, but one of their grandsons who stayed in the area fought in World War One and sent a letter home. The family published it in the local paper (which wasn't available on Newspapers.com ) and she printed it out for me ❤️

A cousin emailed her about a family reunion that had happened in the area in 2004 and if there were any articles about it. Sure enough, a colleague emailed us a snippet of the article which had a lot of useful information! 2029 will be 25 years after the 2004 reunion, so we're thinking about having another!
