With the 250th approaching, it's time to revisit this question. And no, we still haven't found the tax records in question. #Connecticut #ancestry #genealogy charteroakgenealogy.com/2020/08/23/d...

Although it lacks citations, this pamphlet entitled "Migrations from Connecticut Prior to 1800" can help give you a starting point on migration from #Connecticut in the pre-1800 period. Link is to the edition available through FamilySearch. #genealogy #familyhistory #history #ancestry

Working on Canadian citizenship by descent and need help locating records? Did you know that, if allowed by state law, professional genealogists can help "pull" or obtain copies of certified birth, death, and marriage certificates. #genealogy #familyhistory

A huge thank you (yet again) to the French departemental archives for their digitization efforts! The rescan is much better than the earlier versions available through other websites. #genealogy #translation

Trying to research rural Nova Scotia from the United States always poses some unique challenges, although I'm glad for the crash course it gives in local museums.Challenges of first lineage society applicants and now citizenship by descent! #genealogy #ancestry #familyhistory

I just did a test run on the MyHeritage ScribeAI tool. The record is straightforward and largely boilerplate. It's not a bad output. But who is Romeo? #genealogy #translation #ancestry

The Connecticut Archives collection is one of the hidden secrets of Revolutionary War research in Connecticut. The collection can include militia appointments, donations of goods to the cause, and more. libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/hg/ctarchives #genealogy #Connecticut

The Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia just relaunched the New England Planters Database. #genealogy #Connecticut planters.nsgenconference.ca?fbclid=IwY2x...

The argument in that only #translation for legal cases requires a profession #translator in #genealogy is an incredibly problematic one, but it's unfortunately also becoming increasingly common.

#genealogy #Connecticut

This is a hot topic in New England research, although surprisingly, #Connecticut hasn't come up yet! #genealogy #ancestry #familyhistory

The launch of a new #AI tool from MyHeritage (blog.myheritage.com/2026/03/intr...) has me cringing. (I will give them credit for saying "caution is advised.") Why? #genealogy

Okay, at some point is #genealogy going to have a conversation about the ethics of #AI #translation? It's being used by genealogists, including professionals. There are implications. Discussions need to happen.
