Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

#GenHour Reminder for those doing research in the USA. If the deceased was sent home for burial or otherwise crossed a jurisdictional boundary (cemetery in the next county over), there should be death records in both places. (Tip courtesy Judy G. Russell, The Legal Genealogist). 🧵

#genealogy This is another example of why pin pointing where ancestors were born can be hard, they might not know themselves. Very sad.

And that's another #genchat ! Thanks for all the inspiration, tips & heartfelt comments. Next time (November 14), we're "going to court" - talking about court records: in person & online. See you then!

#GenChat A caution: Substack is pretty foul these days, so if you aren't there already, Ghost is probably a better place to be. ghost.org

#GenChat One of the best tips I've ever seen: if you have a person who gets confused with someone of the same name, write up a proof statement about it, and attach it to your person as a Story. The hint engine will make it show up to Ancestry users.

I know @danielloftus.projectinfant.ie posts a lot on Substack. I'm not sure what the difference between that & a blog is, though; but Daniel is pretty cutting-edge with these kinds of things. #genchat

#GenChat Okay for tonight's open mic, I've queued up a bunch of my favorite writing links. 🧵Starting off: my favorite writing book of all time, Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones. It's made for fiction writers. If you want her book on writing memoir ... nataliegoldberg.com/books/writin...

If you're on WikiTree, that's a fantastic place to put your family history findings! #genchat

I count even my "hit character limit" blurbs in Ancestry tree profile timelines as #Genealogy writing. Sometimes all I've time for is to gonk out notes in Ancestry using iPhone. At least it's quick saved. If a lot to say I dump into Comment in person's profile at Ancestry. #GenChat desperation !

I focused on writing my family history out on my website anunexpecteddiscovery.weebly.com But I’ve started thinking about working on longer writings about my dad and his history #genchat

Whether it's just a blurb on a #genealogy website or the next family history mystery, tonight is fair game! Where do you write? And when? What have you been writing about? Let's #genchat !

Hey, #genchat. This week's topic is family history writing, huh? Well, that's something I'm familiar with. I mean I have a blog and in it I tell all kinds of stories: allroadhaverhill.blogspot.com Are they true? Well, they'd better be after all the effort I put into them.

What the search is picking up for surname and in TOTALLY unexpected locations has been huge help. Especially in deeds recorded out of the land actual location AND estate claim mentions and releases. Geez Loueez. Have been LOVING it since spring 2024. #GenChat

I find deck.blue to be awesome. #genchat
