@emilyh Thanks for the follow. Your ancestors certainly got around. It's made me think I should update my profile.

As #AATP25 gets rolling, I'm delighted to welcome my first Livestream guest for our Projectkin series: Karen de Bruyne who returns to talk about researching the records of ancestors in India. (This time at a more civilized hour for the UK, 😉 6 pm BST) Join us: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Genealogists may be familiar with the FANs technique (friends, associates and neighbours) for expanding research or perhaps breaking down a 'brick wall'. Has anyone found or used specific software for documenting this type of research? @genealogy #genealogy #Geneadons #familyhistory #genchat

And #AATP25 is underway. Such a lovely way to share the joy of research, exploration, and maybe a story or two from history. If you’re one place curious, THIS #OnePlaceWednesday is the day to get started. Learn more 👇 It’s an honor to join in on this project.
