As #AATP25 gets rolling, I'm delighted to welcome my first Livestream guest for our Projectkin series: Karen de Bruyne who returns to talk about researching the records of ancestors in India. (This time at a more civilized hour for the UK, 😉 6 pm BST) Join us: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

As #AATP25 kicks off today, I'm delighted to announce that Jude Rhodes, @juderhodes.bsky.social, will join us in a Livestreamed session on the last day of the 10-day run to help me close out the series. Learn more: 👉 projectkin.substack.com/p/mini-aatp2...

And #AATP25 is underway. Such a lovely way to share the joy of research, exploration, and maybe a story or two from history. If you’re one place curious, THIS #OnePlaceWednesday is the day to get started. Learn more 👇 It’s an honor to join in on this project.

#AATP25 is very much *not* the event in its usual format, more a look back at some of the fab things from the two events held so far—with a theme for each day. 👇🏻 However, @projectkin.bsky.social and ourselves will be contributing new material: keep your eyes peeled for details! #OnePlaceWednesday

Since it was already a help to me, I thought others tracking #AATP25 for the @sogorg.bsky.social, @oneplacestudies.bsky.social and @balhnews.bsky.social might appreciate a nifty short code for our schedule of LIVE #FamilyHistory events All About That Place: projectkin.org/aatp25-live

We’re visiting The Wallace Collection today! I’ll also be going back next month to visit the library to view documents related to my #OnePlaceStudy. But for today, we’ll admire the artworks & artefacts, & visit the Grayson Perry exhibition. Very excited!

We’re finding non-political ways to share #familystories of our ancestors around the world at the time of the American Revolution. #Stories250 join us! We have a shared, interactive timeline and map. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

I can’t think of a better example to share of the generous #genealogy community blooming over on Substack. Think of it as a long form complement to what we have here. Helene’s Letters from Labelle celebrated her one-year anniversary last month: 🥹 substack.com/@helenelette...

What have #FamilyHistory records revealed about the contributions of women in your family? See the full recording of Sunday's preview for @jennifer-jones.bsky.social Speakers' Corner episode (Projectkin.org/events) Recording plus resources linked below: open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

From yesterday’s talk with author Shell Norman about her new book “My Father’s Daughter” — the hard stories. #FamilyStories substack.com/@shellnorman...

In case you missed it, I had a fascinating conversation today with Shell Norman, author of a new memoir, “My Father’s Daughter.” It was a great opportunity to talk about the writer’s experience with the hard topics. It’s a great book club piece. #FamilyHistory substack.com/@shellnorman...

@yycphoto.bsky.social and I had a fun time with a preview today for Thursday's Kathy's Corner. Our collections of photos, documents and artifacts are foundational to family history work. Learn more about protecting and preserving them: projectkin.substack.com/p/projectkin...

With family stories, it’s easy to expand on details to appeal to an audience. Family historians may have to rein in the enthusiasm to find the extraordinary stories that lie dormant. #Stories250 open.substack.com/pub/projectk... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #AmericanRevolution #BetsyRoss

This is why we created the Atlas of Surveillance: so journalists and other community members could easily discover what kinds of technology local police are using to spy on them. Kudos to @forwardky.bsky.social for shining a light on it! forwardky.com/are-you-bei...

As merely a public service announcement: Today might be a good day to slip this back out there: ssd.eff.org My view: Friends don't let friends say on Facebook. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory.

It started with the writers Linda Stufflebean was following based on the weekly @genstack.bsky.social #FamilyHistory summary on Substack. Then, she was frustrated that she couldn't add the posts to Feedly. It turns out, there's a simple solution: Use the Publication link! youtu.be/cu9rlLgR_r4

Too much fun. Sharing with my #foodculture friends on #substack. Lots of crossover with #familyhistory.

This may be Of interest to my #oneplacestudies friends here on #GenHour. We’re thrilled here at Projectkin. All events are free. 🥰 open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Does look like great fun!

Oh my, what a fun project. #genhour #foodculture #victorian

In #FamilyHistory, it's tempting to treat the first-person testimonials as valued evidence of historical fact. In our talk today, Diane Burley added a reporter’s warning to that which resonates today more than ever. It's the “Bloviator” problem. Sound familiar? open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

I spent time looking for information on my 2nd gg grandfather only to find my mother had the story all written down already. #genealogy #family

So this is fun: Projectkin.org/stories250 You see, I wasn’t comfortable focusing storytelling about our revolution only on the men who fought. There’s a much larger story here that crosses borders and includes freemen, First Nations women, families and more. Join us? #familyHistory #GenHour

What a fun discussion with @yycphoto.bsky.social at today’s Kathy’s Corner event. The full recording was just shared in email with subscribers, but here's a little taste. We all get overwhelmed. Here's a pro talking us through our #FamilyHistory photo archives.

As if to underscore that discovery, my new cousin in Switzerland took the time to pen a parallel story from his vantage point in the Alps: www.glarusfamilytree.com/post/seo-ser...

It's been a remarkable 24 hours over here in Projectkin land. This morning I dropped this post about my journey of discovery riding a 🚀 of SEO that took me from a new cousin in Minnesota to the Alps of Switzerland to unearth 400 years of history... in 30 days. open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Projects & Family Storytelling. Those cool pieces you put together to get the grandkids engaged with your shared history... yeah, that's storytelling too. See full recording. Postcard included in the full video post at: projectkin.substack.com/p/projectkin... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Stories
