Coming in just a few hours (8 am GMT / midnight PST) a special post sharing my plans for a "Ride Along" to #RootsTech2026. I'd love to hear what you think. I'll catch ya when our sun's up here in California. projectkin.substack.com/p/intro-ride... #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #GenHour

I was distracted by WikiTree content injections when my Zarabeth threatened to step in and take over the #RootsTech #RideAlong. Oh my, can’t have that. Stay tuned for a post tomorrow. #Caturday #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

A little late for #OnePlace Wednesday, but I thought this piece from our American NYTimes introduced a Millennials stalker’s eye to house history. Fun! 👀 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/m...

In case you missed it, yesterday, I had a delightful discussion with Diane Burley @dburley.bsky.social in Projectkin's Stories250 series about the American #RevWar that centered on the lives of #Women in her family. projectkin.substack.com/p/projectkin... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Storytelling

\Thirty years from now, will my great-grandchildren be able to ask a search assistant, “Who’s my third great-grandmother?”… I think so. “Find me a picture…” yep. Capture stories for these third great-grandchildren, now. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #GenHour open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Another clip from today's extraordinary Projectkin Speakers' Corner event with Jennifer Jones @jennifer-jones.bsky.social.

I just posted the recording for today's extraordinary Speakers' Corner program with Jennifer Jones @jennifer-jones.bsky.social. You won't want to miss these incredible stories of family secrets: projectkin.substack.com/p/speakers-c... #FamilyHistory #Storytelling #Genealogy

Each of these Speakers' Corner programs with @jennifer-jones.bsky.social shares the stories of two speakers. Earlier, I shared Xanthe Hall's story. Here is a clip of Marian Beaman's story about her Mennonite upbringing and her relationship with her father. projectkin.substack.com/p/projectkin...

When Projectkin first launched on Substack, #familyhistorians and #genealogists were rare finds. It's now time to stretch beyond our roots and build “Skybridges!” Learn more in my new post for Projectkin: “Skybridges Connect Communities Across Platforms” open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Oh my goodness, @genealcymru.bsky.social you have such a remarkable family! That simple question of whether you CAN find the signatures of women in your family is now incredibly compelling. I love this. #familyhistory #genealogy

There are patterns in the signatures of our ancestors: curiosities and… bits of delight. Join us TOMORROW to talk next about how to find them — and what to do with them when you have, as Emma Explores for Projectkin. See ya! 👋 #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #GenHour tockify.com/eventscalend...

In anticipation of Thursday's Emma Explores episode, Emma Cox and I chatted live this morning. In this last program for the year, Emma will focus on Signatures. Can you collect the signatures of all 8 of your great-grandparents? tockify.com/eventscalend... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Signatures

Yay, so the recording is out and what fun it was. You can see the full recording here. All free, not even a subscribe-me harassment popup. (At least, I don't think so. 🤭) What fun, Thank you @tadmaster.bsky.social (Sorry to goof-up the name below.) open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Wow, what fun in my conversation with @mighterAcorns Tad Callin. Nothing is ever clear cut. Family History shows us how. “People are still making the arguments.” Well put, Tad! Watch for my update to the notes in an hour or two. Projectkin.org/live #familyhistory #genealogy #SubstackLive

Honestly, that sounds like a project for the folks at @familysearch.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy … it’s a database analysis problem for a new Developer in their advanced tech group that brought us Relativefinder.org. (Sneak: I’ve created a RootsTech Ride Along Group, join us!)

Yesterday, @jennifer-jones.bsky.social and I celebrated the holidays as Projectkin with our Speakers’ Corner speakers, each sharing a holiday memory and inspiring each other. What fun. The recording is now live: open.substack.com/pub/projectk... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Storytelling #Holidays

The power of memoir and storytelling may take generations, but it is real. Rest in peace, Viola Fletcher. #FamilyHistory #memoir #tulsa #ViolaFletcher www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

This morning Tami Mize reported on #Ancestry ‘s ToS change re Law enforcement in her weekly ConfKeeper newsletter. Thoughts? I’m guessing the issue is a defense against the Homeland security’s anti-immigration campaign. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #ConfKeeper

I was disappointed to miss #GenHour, but it was a good cause as I compiled the notes from Projectkin's Emma Explores program. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy Always a fun one, you can see the recording (and the series) for free here: open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

I grew up as an ex-pat American. I represented my country before I knew what it was. For all we’re going through today, I hope this anniversary can remind us who we are, and why. 🥹 @pbs.org #kenburns www.pbs.org/video/the-am... #FamilyHistory #genealogy #Storytelling

As we wrap up #GenHour... I don't know who it was that sent me to stevemorse.org/census/unifi... But thank you, wow... I fell down the rabbit hole again, exploring the residents of my block in 1950. Our home was owned by a custodian. His wife was a housewife. The neighbor was a barber. #1950s

Adding to #GenHour was this delightful moment when Crystal Lorimor told me about a new county-based initiative to map land records to... well, maps. An old-fashioned #OnePlace FAN study meets the magic of GIS at #BelmontCounty #Ohio. youtube.com/shorts/4urh0... open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

As America, our 250th has had me thinking about better highlighting the extraordinary array of posts added to the Projectkin’s #Stories250 effort. Why not roll all posts and talk recordings into a new page: Projectkin.org/stories250 Stories: Around the world 👀 #GenHour #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Bravo, @manchesterhistory.uk! I only wish I could come along on one of your tours virtually... 🤔 could happen.

A surprising — and remarkable — project that highlights the potential of storytelling to heal, one stone, one place at a time. “Say their names.” #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Storytelling #OnePlace www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

My follow-up discussion with Crystal Lorimor today was inspiring. What started as curiosity about townships in their #BelmontOH county has become an extraordinary research tool: open.substack.com/pub/projectk... Also, a fine example #Genealogy #OnePlace #FamilyHistory or more. #OhioGenealogy #Ohio

The extraordinary team at Belmont County, OH have turned the historic 1787 Seven Ranges Survey project into a web app linking a GIS map to land patents and FamilySearch data. See the talk at Projectkin, then join us live at 10 am / 1 / 6 pm PT/ET/GMT. projectkin.substack.com/p/special-st...

Come on in and explore to see what the excitement is all about for GIS Mapping in Belmont County, Ohio, documenting the 7 Ranges, the first US land survey in 1787. Many thanks to the team at #BelmontOH #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Storytelling #OnePlace open.substack.com/pub/projectk...
