I've just received a reply to an email I sent in June 2017! 😁 The email was to a hotel in Shimla, India, which was built by Charles Harris Barrett a relative of my husband, in the early 1800s. I think they want to use the information on their website! #genealogy

#Genealogy #Free on Oct 15 at 10 am Eastern US time: My live webinar about Bite-Sized #FamilyHistory projects, including gift ideas now that holiday time is approaching. #AncestryHour #GenHour It's a good good time to try #Ancestor coloring books & more!

My top tip would be to look for Facebook groups based on a location you’re interested in. Groups like “history of <place>” or “old photos of <place>” can be an amazing resource. They’re useful for #OnePlaceStudies as well as #FamilyHistory. I’ve even connected with cousins this way! #AncestryHour

#Ancestor photos, a quilt, a dilemma. Anna Maria Fredicker Schuerfeld Wachenheim. 1860-1938. From the photo box, great grandmother, quilt she made. I think the quilt is 1920s or 1930s. I can't find anyone who wants it. What do I do with this quilt? #VintagePhotos #quiltsky #VintageQuilt
