Gentle reminder: it’s okay to not be productive with your research when you’re stressed or overwhelmed. It’s okay to take a break. Closing the laptop is sometimes the most productive research choice. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Did you have an ancestor or relative involved with the 1912 Bread and Roses Strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts? It was lead by the women millworkers, mostly Polish immigrants. Or any other ancestors invlolved with workers strikes in New England? #genealogy www.facebook.com/share/p/184q...

There have been so many tasks to do today I almost forgot it was Saturday! Finally taking a break and remembering that it's time for this week’s crème de la crème! #genealogy #FamilyHistory via @genealogyalacarte.bsky.social genealogyalacarte.ca?p=47071

Urka, an enslaved woman, escaped when her enslavers would sell her away from the colony of New Netherland. The seller had her captured, and wanted to force the sale, but the court did not agree. Read Urka's story: www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/new_netherla... #BlackHistory #NewNetherland #genealogy

#Genealogy After appealing denial of #FOIA request from US Vet Adm in Aug 2025 for my Dad's VA records, no response since. Today I asked staff of my US Congressional Rep for help. They will try to get a response for me. Have you tried this @reclaimtherecords.org - any luck? Eager to get it resolved!

It's Weathervane Wednesday! This merman was spotted in the Netherlands. Do you know who he may represent? nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-me... #weathervanes

A big thank you to the genealogy gods for sending me a 1911 census entry with precise addresses given as the birthplaces of all 11 members of the household! It also features the name (crossed out) and birthplace of a child who had died...

I'm starting a new series at my Nutfield Genealogy blog, where I will feature my many patriot ancestors who fought or contributed to the American Revolution. Today's post is #1 and I'm featuring Colonel Joshua Burnham of Milford, New Hampshire. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/02/my-r...

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched. Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

It's Tombstone Tuesday! This family survived a disaster that took many of their relatives. The famous Willey landslide in Crawford Notch is part of New Hampshire History. Is there a natural disaster in your family history? nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/02/tabi...

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

A great collection! I've already discovered new items to pull at the Hawaii State Archives on my Dominis relatives in Honolulu.

Here is a blog post about a newclipping that reported a distant cousin, serving on board Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) killed in action during the War of 1812. My family tree has many connections to this one ship. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/10/seam...

It's Groundhog Day!

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit! Happy February 1st!

There were endless news reports during the last snow storm, and 24 hour coverage on TV Sunday. My 90 year old mother said "You would think they never saw snow before!" Is this kind of snow hysteria new? I don't think so... nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2013/02/snow...

It's Weathervane Wednesday! This rooster weathervane (Bluesky didn't show the whole thing) can be found close to home at the Beech Hill Farm in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/01/a-ro...

Today is the birthday of my Revolutionary War Patriot, Colonel Joshua Burnham of Milford, New Hampshire. He was born 26 January 1754 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, 272 years ago. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2013/10/tomb...

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes." "Families are torn apart; men, women, and children separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared." Anne Frank, 1943

Tonight is "Burns Night" honoring the birth of Scottish poet Robert Burns. Did you know that Nutfield, New Hampshire had their own Scottish poet known as the "Rustic Bard"? Robert Dinsmoor lived in Windham, New Hampshire 1757 - 1836. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-bu...

RIP. This is the iconic photo of her that most people remember.

My ancestors had 9 children and a working farm. I have one cat and still can’t keep up with laundry. #genealogy #FamilyHistory

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Excellent probate file! When you don't know who or if the siblings married or survived, finding a detailed distribution is heavenly to a genealogist.

We are planning to take the family back to Hawaii this summer, to see some family history related sights. So I'm reading all my past blog posts about the people and places from my family tree that influenced Hawaiian history. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/12/rev-... #genealogy

It's Weathervane Wednesday! On this chilly day in New Hampshire its fun to remember this sunny summer day on Peaks Island, Maine when we spotted this detailed little weathervane of a sail boat. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/01/a-sa... #weathervanes #NewEngland #Maine

In this blog post I explored Christmas weddings in my family tree, but New Years Eve and New Year's Day were also popular for weddings in the past. Do you have any New Year's weddings in your family tree? nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2025/12/a-ch... #genealogy #weddings #FamilyHistory

It's Surname Saturday! My 9th g grandparents were Lawrence Southwick and Cassandra Burnell of Salem, Massachusetts. They died in exile because they were Quakers, and did not obey the Puritan church in New England. Are you a Southwick descendant, too? nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/03/surn...

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

"I mourn over my bleeding country: with them I weep at her distress, and with them deeply resent the many injuries she has received from the hands of cruel and unreasonable men." - Dr. Joseph Warren, Boston, March 6, 1775

Genealogy moment of the day!

From the Nutfield Genealogy blog: New Year's Day, was was not always on January 1st. When this switch happened there was a lot of double dating on records, tombstones, and other places as people tried to deal with the confusion. Did it confuse you, too? nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2020/01/happ...

Look at the unusual tombstone art Santa brought me this year. These magnets are made from 3D imaging of a 1692 gravestone from my family tree. This Lexington, Massachusetts tombstone belonged to the second wife of my ancestor, William Munroe. nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2025/12/tomb...
