This week I started working on converting my (messy) craft room into a genealogy room/office. I have piles and piles of papers, notebooks, and books to sort through. It’s kind of overwhelming, but I’m sure I’ll make some neat discoveries that I’d forgotten!
Today I came across some old microfilm order slips from when I first started doing genealogy. Back then, we didn’t order the microfilm online. We went to our local family history center and filled out an order card. Then we waited for notification that our film had arrived via snail mail.
The oldest card I found was from the year I started doing genealogy in 1998. Today, films cost $7.50, but back then they were only $3.25. It sure is nice to be able to order online!
