I recently saw The Breakthrough on Netflix, a mini-series about a double-murder in Sweden which was solved using Investigative Genetic Genealogy. I made a review video discussing what they got right, what they got wrong, and breaking down some of the information in more depth.

If you were suddenly transported back 100 years to 1925, how far would you have to travel to find your closest ancestor? In 1925, I had 16 ancestors who were alive. My closest ancestors would be about 450 miles/724km away in Philadelphia, PA, where my grandfather Simon lived.

I was looking through the lineup of talks for this coming year of Legacy Family Tree Webinars and was surprised not to see a single Jewish topic. I also realized they only have 15 Jewish talks out of their entire catalog. I think I realize why I've barely watched their webinars.

Looking through old emails, I apparently missed an email a cousin sent me years ago which included a 1908 wedding photograph of my Great Grandparents Harry Rosenberg and Pearl Waxman. This is by far the best photograph I have of them at a young age. Harry was 21 and Pearl was 18.

Working on the script for my next Youtuber Family Trees episode. I had to give up on getting the original court records for this case - an archive, a historical society, a library, and multiple court clerks are claiming the others have the original records. Good thing the newspapers were detailed!
