South Pole Expedition II - Admiral Richard Byrd 1933-34

I've built a board on Pinterest (see the box below for the link and a sample of the images) to collect all the images, writings and anything else related to Admiral Byrd's Second South Pole Expedition from 1933 to 1934. My grandfather, Francis S "Duke" Dane II was a member of the expedition (the highlight of his life, really). He kept a multitude of things, including equipment from the trip, which I have stored at my house.

The photos also have their own set at Flickr here: Admiral Byrd's South Pole Expedition II

Dane Family History Board on Pinterest

One of my latest projects is to set up family history bulletin boards on Pinterest as a one-stop-shop to collect my family history images. The one below is the Dane Family Board.

The photo at right that goes along with this post is of my great aunt, Marcia Winter Anderson Dane. Probably taken in the 1920's when she was a teen or young woman.

The nifty box below is Pinterest's way of displaying just the Dane Family Board on this or any other website.  Pretty cool. 

Family Tree Bloggers Board on Pinterest open to all Genealogy Bloggers

I have set up a board on Pinterest for all Family Tree and Genealogy bloggers to post links to their genealogy blogs, posts, resources, photos, etc. The board is a community bulletin board for all like-minded genealogists to share and comment and help each other with our passion for family history.  Follow this link to the Family Tree Bloggers Board or click on the board in the embedded Pinterest gadget below and you will see the board.

If you would like an invite to post to the Family Tree Bloggers Board, please follow the board, or comment on this blog post or repin or comment on any of my pins to the board and I will invite you to join the board.

I also have a companion Google Plus community called Family Tree Bloggers. Let me know if you'd like an invite. As of right now, it's not very busy at all, but hoping to gain some active members to build it up.
