For those researching their #Sicilian roots. Great news! Portali Antenati antenati.cultura.gov.it?lang=en recently uploaded "Riveli" records (tax census records); Covers 1548 to 1801. antenati.cultura.gov.it/twenty-third... #SicilianGenealogy #ItalianGenealogy #Genealogy

#FindAGrave turned 30 years old! Anyone else remember it in its early days? I remember how unique and interesting it was. Too bad the founding owner sold out to Ancestry in 2013. I wish FG could go back to it's good old days. This is a great story about how it began. #genealogy

It's insane that Wisconsin puts a paywall around a marriage record from 1858 that may or may not have the needed information. Most of their vital records are stuck behind a paywall making it virtually impossible to do any kind of #genealogy research. Come on Wisconsin, you can do better than this!

Hi #GenHour New season, new month! And hopefully a new start on making it here each week. Last few months have been busy. This week I'm revisting my search for my Great GF's death/burial in NYC. It's been a 5-year search. Trying to look at research with new eyes. His death is truly a mystery.🤨🧐

Thank you! Signing up and marking my calendar now🙂

I thought I'd continue the conversation bsky.app/profile/nigh... today on #GenHour that I started on #AncestryHour a couple of days ago about DNA privacy. I came across this article that explains why MyHeritage stopped allowing the free uploads: thednageek.com/the-end-of-a...

I just realized why no one was here at #AncestryHour an hour ago. The UK is still on standard time.

Interesting interview with #GeneticGenealogist CeCe Moore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tND... Fast forward: 30:10 to 41:15. She was interviewed by a news person covering the Nancy Guthrie case. CeCe clears up the confusion people have about DNA privacy on different #genealogy sites. #AncestryHour

I've been trying to come back to #AncestryHour regularly since the beginning of the year. Never thought I'd be as busy as the past 2 months. Anyone here today? The last post I see was 2 days ago.

Anyone else not been at #AncestryHour and #GenHour because of the Olympics? I just couldn't miss watching figure skating in my ancestors home country. I even made a cake for the occasion. 😋🤩😍🏅

Something I was wondering this week: What's the latest with Reclaim the Records? Last we heard was the exciting news about the New York State death index. Has there been anything else since then? I get their emails and check their BlueSky page, but haven't seen any more news. #GenHour

My genealogy news this week: Finally convinced friend to take the AncestryDNA test. The $39 sale at holidays was a big motivator. Hope this will launch some new research to resolve some brick walls. Especially finding who friend's 3rd GG is & what friend's real surname would have been. #AncestryHour

Happy Tuesday #AncestryHour ! Trying to come back regularly this year. Have missed being here last year. What's on your research agenda this week? Any new discoveries?

‪ Sorry, forgot to post this sooner. Saturday, November 10 "Italian Migrations through England to the U.S." www.italiangen.org/upcoming-eve...

Planning to come back to either #AncestryHour or #GenHour regularly this year. Missed them for all of last year. Looks like I missed #AncestryHour today. Note to self: #AncestryHour 2 pm Tuesdays #GenHour 3 pm Thursdays Eventually the times will stick in my head again.

Has #FamilySearch discontinued their record lookup service? I wonder if they just offered this during covid because the link I have no longer works. #Genealogy

To those in the #genealogy community who celebrate...... #MerryChristmas ! Or as my ancestors would say...... Buon Natale! Nollaig Shona! Schöni Wiehnachte!

So excited I won this book during a webinar prize giveaway! Looking forward to cracking it open this weekend. #Genealogy #Books

Typing #Treeverne for one last time. Hope everyone is well tonight. #GenChat

One perk of working on other people's family trees is the places I get to learn about that I might not have been motivated to study if I were to just work on my own tree. Did you know that long before the Czech Republic existed the western half was called Bohemia? #Genealogy #OnePlaceStudies

#GenHour I'm sure most of us are super excited about the big surprise this week. I logged into my #genealogy email yesterday to find the best Christmas present ever! 🎁https://www.newyorkdeathindex.com/search🎁

Friday’s #genchat should be interesting!

Great news for Wisconsin researchers. The Wisconsin Historical Society is migrating over to a new and more efficient site. See what they currently have here: explore.wishistory.org #Genealogy #WisconsinGenealogy

‪ You pay them if you want them to research your ancestors, but if you want to do your own research on the premises you STILL have to pay them. Absurd.😒 #Genealogy

Has anyone ever heard of this German records site? www.archion.de/de/ They require signing up for a free account before getting access to their German church book records. My friend wants to make sure this site is safe before giving out email. #Genealogy #GermanGenealogy

First we fight and win a four year public records lawsuit, but *then* we really get to work making the data free and usable... *cracks knuckles, goes back to coding*

Has anyone else downloaded the new version 11 of #RootsMagic and now can't open their tree? Two windows pop up when I try to open my tree. I'm usually good with fixing technical issues, but this has me stumped. #Genealogy
