What happens when your family tree isn’t what you thought? 🌳 DNA testing can change your past… and your present. My new fully updated blog lays it all out. #DNA #Genealogy #FamilyHistory chiddicksfamilytree.com/2023/04/07/d...

Obviously it can never can be undone, but i'm glad that at least an apology is coming. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #FamilyHistory #ancestry #genealogy

#adoption can confound genealogy. I know about my adoptive immediate and extended family, but nothing of my biological family. Asking about someone else's family history is a constant reminder of my [lack of] place in it. 🥚

Every time I talk about my book —nope the history of genealogy in early America is not a cozy story! — I have such great conversations with folks after. Tonight at marvelous Providence Athenaeum a great story about a fierce Loyalist whose grandson to his great chagrin was born on the 4th of July. 🎶

Oops couldn't resist the TNA bookshop grabbed a copy of @drkarencummings.bsky.social new book whilst I was there too. #Genealogy #Books

A long read, but a fascinating exploration of why #History is complicated. It gets to the heart of the difficulties in establishing one of the most fundamental *facts* in #FamilyHistory, a date of birth. #Genealogy

Remembering my husband's great-grandmother Elizabeth Harris who was born #OTD in 1863 in Balls Pond, Islington. Her father Samuel was a silver melter and her mother Harriet Barnard's family were silversmiths. Barnard silver is still collected today and often appears on auction sites! #genealogy

When doing genealogy, I make sure every ancestor who owned slaves is clearly labeled as such. It’s not white guilt. It’s history.

So, I bring news! (and it's a first for me) On April 18th, when the 1926 #Census is released to the public - I will be going on TV to Virgin Media One's IrelandAM speaking about the 1926 Census at about 10:45am. I never expected this to happen, but am really looking forward to it! Tune in... 🤗❤️✨

"The Warren-Raskin investigation is a legitimate and much-needed exercise of congressional oversight. The letters are pointed, the questions are the right ones, and the named companies should be made to answer them...." www.projectsaltbox.com/p/ices-fast-...

All the cash in the world can’t whitewash an abysmal job performance, can’t mend the deliberate lies & broken promises, can’t bring back dead Americans lost in unauthorized wars… The midterm elections will be an overwhelming Blue Wave, ‘Billionaires Out’!

Thanks so much, Kelly! 😊

Building your family history doesn’t have to be complicated. Start simple, stay curious, and focus on what matters most; real people, real stories, and real connections. #genealogy

Just learned that 2 more of the soldiers I've researched for the Army have been identified. Will post about each individually, but one was a case I researched in 2001! And the other? Well, his closest living relative at the time (sadly now deceased) was a 1C1R. Never give up hope, y'all! #genealogy

‪Exciting to piece together a family story with the help of so many resources ... all the way back to 17th-century Somerset, an historic county in the south west of England. #genealogy‬

On this, the 720th anniversary we remember one of the great heroines of Scottish history, Isabella Countess of Buchan who went against her husband’s family to join the Scottish Cause and crown Bruce at Scone. For this she was imprisoned in a cage by Edward I. A courageous feminist and a true Scot.

This is why we just saw the largest protests in U.S. history: People are sick of this president playing by a different set of rules than everyone else—from using his office to enrich himself and his family to eroding trust in the very elections that put him in power. #NoKings. Not now, not ever.

I promise you there are no politics in my alternate history fantasy about faeries ruling the United States, it's just a romance among a medieval bisexual polycule introducing a new partner, the undocumented immigrant survivor of debt slavery, and how to re-make a family in an absurdist autocracy.

Margaret Medcalf, who turns 100 this week, insisted that decades of Aboriginal welfare records be preserved in the state archives and not destroyed. Those documents have proved essential to connecting Aboriginal people with their family history.

This is amazing! Watching my grandmother lose her eyesight was awful. All of the things she loved to do — quilting, sewing, genealogy, baking — were taken from her, and in her last years, she was so sad. I hope this is the door to future generations being saved from this.

One of our relatives doing the family history/genealogy included letters from the young men who came of age homesteading Wisconsin, who joined the first regiment formed there. It was about slavery for them. "Not paying the worker his hire is against god's law."

Very excited about this news. I can’t wait to hear whether DNA research proves that the remains belong to D’Artagnan. Just like it helped identifying Richard III. #genealogy #earlymodern www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For those of you who are doing genealogy, and may be a Black Puerto Rican or have Puerto Rican enslaved ancestors, there are records online in Spanish from the Registro Central de Esclavos of Puerto Rico.
