One binder trick I love: census originals on one side, my transcription on the other. Quick, clear, and easy to revisit. #GenealogyTips #CensusRecords #FamilyHistory

I just backed Saye Family Stories on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/pkg... Consider pledging to support high quality genealogy!

I’m revisiting my early genealogy work and bringing my binders up to today’s research standards—citations, organization, and all. My future self will thank me (instead of cursing me) later! #GenealogyJourney #FutureSelfThanksYou

"Every genealogy journey starts somewhere—I began as a ‘baby genealogist’ 25 years ago. Today, I’m revisiting that work with new skills and fresh perspective. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #ResearchTips #KeepLearning"

Revisiting my earliest genealogy research with 25 years of experience has been humbling—and a little anxiety-inducing. I’m fixing old flaws and catching what I missed. #GenealogyJourney #FamilyHistory #RevisitingResearch

Guess when I need to look for a death record? #GenealogistLife

A card said my George Long served in the War of 1812. The timeline—and the records—say otherwise. Resolving conflicting evidence isn’t optional. It’s necessary. Here’s how I tackled a classic case of mistaken identity. #GenealogyResearch #WarOf1812 #GenealogyTips #ConflictingEvidence #FamilyHistory

I chased 12 men named George Long in Ohio. One Civil War pension card was for the wrong George Long—but everywhere online. Here’s why examining original records matter. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #GenealogicalProofStandard

Said goodbye to two pets within a week of each other. Our cat Holly was almost 17 and our Dog Buddy was almost 16, quite an old age for a large breed. They were both loved and brought us joy. Hard saying goodbye x 2. And they loved cuddling.

So my Threads account got suspended because their “technology” detected that my account activity doesn’t follow community standards. Ummm… I don’t post a thing. I read and like. I think their “technology” is messed up. We’ll see how long it takes my appeal to go through.

Getting detailed about Samuel Cook Dimick's timeline.

In and out tables are fun!

Comparative timelines...one person or two?

Think about your goal when setting up a timeline.

This was a long Tuesday. I led two amazing NGSQ study groups. But also worked my “day job” with one difficult client call and one nice client call. That’s just a lot of being “on” for one day. #extrovertedintrovert #exhausted

Full-Text Search Finds: Sharing some examples of records I found with Full-Text Search that I probably wouldn't have found otherwise.

They need to rename it “Squirrel Buddy.”

Am I the only one that thinks about what to name a new pet someday? It takes up an amazing amount of my daily thoughts.
