#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Do you have Ancestry's new "Ideas" feature in beta, which uses AI to offer research suggestions? What do you think? I tried it with 2 #ancestors, will test on more ancestors. My initial reaction: climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/01/ance... #GenHour #AncestryHour

#AncestryHour Waiting...waiting...waiting for US Vet Affairs to respond to my appeal of their denial of my FOIA request for veteran ancestors' records. They sent me almost nothing in response to request for my Dad's files so I appealed FIVE months ago. Also appealed 4 other denials #Genealogy

Hi #AncestryHour! Sorry to be late, happy to be with you today. Last weekend I participated in the #WikiTree Connect-a-Thon. Only added 48 people to this worldwide #FamilyTree but enjoyed the camaraderie and the opportunity to focus on in-laws (distant, distant in-laws) #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory You know how I love in-laws?During the recent #WikiTree #ConnectaThon, I added some distant in-laws to the tree. This person was really, really, really distant. 😆

#History #America250 #Immigration A really interesting book for understanding how immigrants landing in Philadelphia made their way South to settle in Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia. My hubby's McClure ancestors made this journey in the 1730s #FamilyHistory

I put together this video in 2019 from the opening of the Ellis Island museum and find it's more relevant than ever. If you watch, be sure to check out what Oprah says about our ancestors. And Gloria Estefan's spontaneous and heartfelt singing at the end. #freedom www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDd...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Some documents showed given name of hubby's cousin as Elinor, some showed her as Eleanor. Her signature (blue circle) on marriage license/cert told me which is correct. Sadly, red circle shows "official" name on index climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/01/read...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Canada Great resource!

#FamilyHistory On this anniversary of 2d marriage of great uncle Sam, I wondered how he met the woman he married? Both were widowed in 1940 and the US Census for that year gave me a big clue, shown in this map. #Genealogy climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/01/how-...

Ilia Malinin won the men’s world junior championship in 2022. He’s won every U.S. championship and Grand Prix Final since. He has the three highest free skating scores ever. But the only thing missing from the “Quad God’s” resume is Winter Olympic gold.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄⛄❄️🥳🎅🏻

Wishing you all a joyous #Christmas and a peaceful holiday season. Make new #FamilyHistory memories to cherish all year long! This penny postal greeting was received by my hubby's uncle more than a century ago in Cleveland, Ohio.

How often do relatives get so excited about a #FamilyHistory booklet that they write pages of memories about that ancestor? 🍀 😊 When this happened, I immediately reprinted my #Genealogy booklet to include these emotional memories plus more photos! climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2025/12/they...

Looking for a good #Genealogy holiday gift? This book would be terrific for researchers of all skill levels. Highly recommended. #FamilyHistory

Vintage and classic! Maybe you have a copy? @cferra1227.bsky.social
