Ever feel like you don't really understand social media? Or am I the only one who feels this way...that there's just something in me that does not understand social media? Or maybe I just don't understand being social.

What school bus pictures do you have? This is my Dad's school bus in Illinois in the 1950s. #genealogy

Created this map several years ago to help with my DNA results...villages where various 2nd and 3rd great-grandparents were born. Now I would put villages in different font, indicate relationships to me and somehow code which person married which other person. #genealogy

Before you complain about your boring ancestors, take a good, long look at yourself. Your ancestor may be complaining about their boring descendants. #genealogy

According to Google AI, I've coined a new #genealogy phrase, "What Hamp? Discovered this while searching for an online version of a blog post I wrote some time back.

How do you use ancestral biographies in those old mug books?Our tip today generally had three suggestions: chronologies, maps, and what could validate each statement. #genealogy genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

When they only worked a job for five weeks and the employment record is short for this guy who worked at the Pullman Car Company in Chicago. #genealogy

Found a FindAGrave memorial for someone I know is not dead. Fun times. #genealogy

Been playing with Full-Text search at FamilySearch. Today experimented with a search for a street address in Chicago and discovered numerous references. #genealogy genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

Do you have any family history artifacts (pictures, antiques, letters, etc.) that no one else knows you have because you are trying to avoid drama? I realize you probably won't want to admit what it is.... #genealogy

Do you have any ancestral silverware? If so have you written up its story for your #genealogy?

Submitted these tombstone inscriptions to a #genealogy quarterly in the 1980s. Now they are preserved digitally on FamilySearch--full-text is how I found them.

We will give this another try. The first go round didn't quite meet my expectations (whatever those were), but we'll throw our hat back in the ring.

What did you do with these if you had some? I kept people I knew and got rid of vacation photos and non-people shots unless I knew the location. You cannot keep it all #genealogy

Thoughts on the stuff I have in my #genealogy totes. Saving, digitizing, and the like. The text of the image is in our posting at genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

You can't save every card you ever received. I've digitized ones with #genealogy significance and kept few for sentimental reasons...including these two from my grandmothers.

Got these that aren't your family? Consider posting them to #findagrave, #familysearch big ol' tree, or other online trees as a way to preserve them. #genealogy

Wasn't expecting that. #genealogy

Been a long time since the bulk of my #genealogy notes were handwritten. But back in the day not all microfilm readers would print. Paper and pencil were what we used.

Decided to use "migration streams" instead of "migration chains" in my #genealogy work. genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

Need a picture of the school your ancestor attended? Do #genealogy societies, historical societies, local libraries and the like have graduation announcements or yearbooks? They may have them.

#genealogy is always about what you don't know--and sometimes we don't even know it.

A few quick reminders about digital images. #genealogy genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

Always thought that all the white boxes in the ThruLines at AncestryDNA came from my actual tree. Apparently the relationships do not. The white box people are in my tree, but I do not have Trientje H as the daughter of F Lichtsinn as shown here. Urgh. #genealogy

Made a #genealogy discovery for myself in digital copies of antebellum records while preparing for my latest full-text searching at FamilySearch presentation. conta.cc/45OiJqs

Sometimes you can draw a map for #genealogy purposes by hand. Not everything needs to be fancy schmancy or done with AI. This is for an upcoming issue of my Casefile Clues newsletter.

A cookie recipe contains coconut which could reasonably be left out? Is the cookie like #genealogy proof where some ingredients you need and others can be left out without ruining the proof?
