Binged watched The Breakthrough on Netflix yesterday. Such a great movie to show genetic genealogy methods work. OMG! Great film series! www.netflix.com/us/title/815...

This news clip on C.L. Daniel was very well done. It brings me so much joy to be one of many genetic genealogists working on this historical project. www.fox5atlanta.com/video/1566603

Happy Winter Solstice and the 57th rotation around the sun for me 🎂

I’m still trying to figure out how “woke” got hijacked & weaponized. People don't even understand the meaning. 😂 #lackingoriginality

I can hardly wait to see the film in 2025. Here is a trailer … so powerful! My friend Fred Murphy (filmmaker and descendant of Ferdinand Jackson) and other Jackson family members meet the family who enslaved their family at the Forks of Cypress. #genealogy vimeo.com/1030977233?s...

So fascinating how CeCe figured out the identity in the case. DNA, #genealogy research, and good ol’ fashion detective work. Just watched it on Max tonight. ♥️ people.com/nancy-anders...

South Korea entering the geopolitics chat:

NBC: breaking news in South Korea BBC: breaking news in South Korea ABC: breaking news in South Korea Fox News: WH struggles to defend Biden pardon CNN: check out this Delta Airlines passenger MSNBC: we really need to pay the bills so here’s a huge commercial block. Oh, check out South Korea

It’s so important to know some aspect of your origin story even if a relationship does not come from it. youtu.be/ZnmCV7UZJHs?...

My friend & fellow genealogist Tyrone started an internship at his Alma mater to preserve & continue research on his Jacobs family & others enslaved by the Custis family. His ancestor arrived in America from Angola in the 1600s and has thousands of descendants today. www.odu.edu/article/hist...

Another amazing 2024 experience for me in the genetic genealogy work. My first television interview! I was interviewed by investigative journalist Sara Goldenberg on under-representation in DNA databases and the challenges it causes for cold case investigations. www.cleveland19.com/2024/02/28/b...

As we begin to wrap up 2024, I would love to share some amazing experiences I had in the genetic genealogy world that have brought me so much joy. One was being on a Finding Your Roots panel w/ the fabulous CeCe Moore & Nick Sheedy (Mod by Taneya Koonce)! 18Kviews www.youtube.com/live/XMN_bgK...
