Bring a few virtual tissues for the #genchat finale. You may need them. Good night and thanks everyone.

Not a new project, but an ongoing one is discovering all the things available in the Full Text search on FamilySearch. There is a lot to uncover there. #genchat

You've still got it Christine. #genchat

Another side project involves researching families living at a certain time in some of the small towns and villages my ancestors called home. The various work, religious, social, and familial connections are a knot worth untying in many cases. #genchat

A recent pet project: When people find out you "do genealogy", one of their first questions is often are you related to anyone famous. It has been interesting to find the connections to many, though the reaction is usually "no way". #genchat

Good evening all. #genchat

I'm subjected to adult contemporary radio at work. I'm now convinced that Bonnie Tyler is the female equivalent to Meat Loaf. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they shared a producer. #music

When asked "Who are you with?", the answer should always be "the free press". There won't be an answer to the question from the tangerine totalitarian, but it would be fun to see his reaction. "Quiet, piggy" seems like a pot, meet kettle moment, but I could be wrong.

Documenting a Family History Do you have old correspondence tucked away in your genealogy files? If so, have you ever noticed that some of it refers to families that don’t seem to connect directly to your research? That was my experience when I reopened a 1993 letter containing details about the…

I think maybe we'll be Internet Archivists this weekend. Who's with me? I know, I know. There is great Fall weather, and apple picking, and football, and stuff. Thanks everyone. It's been interesting. #genchat

We have not had many like this in New England this summer.

Revisiting my earliest genealogy research with 25 years of experience has been humbling—and a little anxiety-inducing. I’m fixing old flaws and catching what I missed. #GenealogyJourney #FamilyHistory #RevisitingResearch

Why Antoine Toupin (1829-1915) became "Anthony Alpine" and Louis Thouin (1828-1911) became "Lewis Twine" is anyone's guess. Both were from Québec and migrated to New England. #genealogy

Maps are a great tool to help us put the missing pieces back together and better understand why our ancestors lived, worked, played, and worshipped where they did. #genchat

Hello everyone. #genchat

A card said my George Long served in the War of 1812. The timeline—and the records—say otherwise. Resolving conflicting evidence isn’t optional. It’s necessary. Here’s how I tackled a classic case of mistaken identity. #GenealogyResearch #WarOf1812 #GenealogyTips #ConflictingEvidence #FamilyHistory

July 4, 1776, Independence Day was celebrated. The first #NoKings Day in America.

Psst... We did that thing again. #genchat

In 2016, I was fortunate to be part of the Acadian Ancestral Tour of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. We visited historic sites, museums, churches, forts, and libraries. The added context and feel is something online searches will always be lacking. #genchat
