It's an honor to be chosen as an official speaker for this year's All About That Place series. Projectkin is also thrilled to be a co-sponsor again this year, celebrating All About Those Places on the Pacific side of the planet! 🎉 #AATP2026 #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #OnePlaceWednesday.

As Projectkin, our #Stories250 series has us reflecting globally on where our ancestors were 250 years ago. Here in the US, a lot of places, says the @nytimes.com data. It's both humbling and inspiring all at once. #Ancestry #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #GenHour www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/b...

The very last of our Stories250 livestreamed programs just concluded with the recording posted. My guest, Helene McClanahan, just knocked it out of the park with her story of the legendary Pennsylvania and Kentucky Frontiersman, John Hinkson (1729-1789) open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Just dropped: The recording for today's Kathy's Corner. A tremendous episode as our own Kathy Stone @yycphoto.bsky.social stepped up to building on last month's episode with Lori Olson White: #BetterAncestor #familyhistory #genealogy #Storytelling projectkin.substack.com/p/kathys-cor...

Today's Speakers' Corner was quite extraordinary as @jennifer-jones.bsky.social guests, Jill Swenson and Katherine Brodt took on stories of "place." Well worth a listen. See the full program at Projectkin: projectkin.substack.com/p/speakers-c... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #OnePlace

Each month, Emma Cox of Journeys into Genealogy gives me a tip about what her theme is going to be for Emma Explores. This month, it's the influential women in her family tree. You won't want to miss this: #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #UKHistory #WomensHistory #GenHour tockify.com/eventscalend...

Today's Speakers' Corner livestream with @jennifer-jones.bsky.social turned quickly to our family connections with place. Not quite one-place studies, but connected at heart. See the full recording at open.substack.com/pub/projectk... #Familyhistory #storytelling #History #Genealogy #OnePlace

Hey, there... it was a long day yesterday, and I'm afraid I forgot to share the recording from our Kathy's Corner Livestream with @yycphoto.bsky.social. Great stuff on preserving media: Home movies, VHS taps? #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Preservation #Photos projectkin.substack.com/p/projectkin...

The topic of truth and the burden of #Genealogy secrets has come up in our discussions over on Substack based on a recent post from @chiddickstree.bsky.social, chiddickstree.substack.com/p/whose-trut... That had me thinking about this piece in the @nytimes.com — www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

DAH! It seems every month, just after our Emma Explores program, I'm on a mad dash to get to #GenHour with our Projectkin recording. Like a kid racing to the deadline, here I am. Such a fun program. Enjoy: #Genealogy #FamilyHistory open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

Woohoo! @kylabayang.bsky.social and I as #Geneabloggers and #Projectkin are headed to Fort Wayne, Indiana, home of the legendary #ACPLGenealogy Center (and a few ancestors) for the NGS #FamilyHistory Conference. The #RideAlong rides again! #Genealogy: a team sport open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

So, I’ve been working on a story. My #FamilyHistory fascination with #MigrationStories is personal. Watch for it, projectkin.substack.com/publish/post... And wouldn't you know it, they arrived in Fort Wayne, IN, exactly where I'm headed for #NGS26 in two weeks. #Genealogy isn't luck, it's work.

Such a fantastic conversation this afternoon with Lisa Maguire of @ancestory.bsky.social about how compelling our #Familystories of migration are when combined. See the full conversation at open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

We're about 20 minutes in right now and gosh, Rhonda Lauritzen never disappoints. So inspiring. "You can't steer a parked car." What a wonderful dose of encouragement. 🥹

#GenHour I knew @lisamag13.bsky.social would be the perfect person to explore a new series to share #FamilyHistory Migration Stories. 🧳 Join us in the livestream on Sunday (Monday in Asia/Pac) Here's the link to join from any web browser, no registration needed: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Okay, I'm smitten! Bring on 𞻰 the eels of #FamilyHistory!

Yesterday's Kathy's Corner program featured Kate Jacus, a preservation specialist from the Documentary Heritage and Preservation Services for the state of New York. Fascinating discussion. See it here: projectkin.substack.com/p/kathys-cor...

Great conversation with @yycphoto.bsky.social about conservation, archiving, provenance, triggers, and context. How are we sharing the stories forward? Watch the 30-minute recording at: open.substack.com/pub/projectk... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Storytelling #GenHour

In Kathy’s Corner @Kathy Stone has engaged us in conversations about ephemera, the postcards, clippings and artifacts of those who’ve come before us. Now, get inspired by Times story about Lucy Sante, and her ephemera collage work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/a... #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Come see a work-in-progress, our first effort at a community #FamilyHistory magazine. All about our connection with to #AmericanHistory with #stories250 #Genealogy Submission deadline is June 30! open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

We put together collections of #FamilyHistory stories and our #genealogy records, but do we take the time to engage our loved ones in sharing their lives lived? Lori Olson White has a plan. (Join Projectkin on Apr 16 to hear more: Projectkin.org/2076) open.substack.com/pub/loriolso...

An ironic topic for One-Place Wednesday: #BirthrightCitizenship Setting aside the facts of the case, it’s a reminder of how family stories are carried and lessons every one of us can learn. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Storytelling #OnePlaceWednesday www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

In anticipation of a #SupremeCourt ruling on #birthrightcitizenship, The NYTimes has deployed its #Genealogy skills to dive into the #FamilyHistory of our nine Justices. Perhaps we're finally making the connection between who we are and what we think? Ya think? 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...
