Follow Friday - Favorites

I am to the point in my blog reading career where I find a ton of great links that I'm sure you all will like. So I've decided to start a Favorites feature. I'll post the links I've found that either have great genealogy tips or are of historical interest. Enjoy!

Even Lincoln had love problems: Abraham Lincoln to Mary Owens: "It's Not You, It's Me."
