#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Was Brice McClure born on Dec 29 or Dec 25? He wrote Dec 29 on some early official documents but the handwritten birth ledger from 1878 shows Dec 25. Later he said Dec 25, that's what I'm going with. He married OTD in 1903 climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/06/otd-...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory "Kindness is never misplaced" reads the news headline about a bequest from my husband's 28-yr-old cousin to her caregiver in 1918. Her will makes for fascinating reading. climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/06/kind...

Google Notebook LM’s cinematic videos look impressive—but are they accurate? When I used an ancestor’s narrative report, the visuals introduced false genealogical information. Here’s why the explainer version worked better. #genealogy #AIgenealogy #NotebookLM #familyhistory

#Genealogy #52Ancestors #FamilyHistory Surprised to learn that my hubby's 1c2r married in Dakota Territory. She was born in small-town Ohio, he was a widower from Maine. Why was Plankinton, Dakota a place that mattered to them? climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/06/marr...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Never give up on messages to family tree owners! In 2024 I sent a message on Ancestry, this morning I got an answer. This guy knows where the bodies are buried (literally) and I know when/how his great-grandparents came to America. 😀 Genealogy = patience

A familiar surname. A promising photocopy. The wrong family! This week’s Monday’s Diggings explores an old Wells genealogy find in my files and the reminder that not every Thomas Wells belongs on our tree. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #MondaysDiggings

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Do you remember America's Bicentennial in 1976? While I don't recall our Fourth of July celebration, I do remember the excitement when the Olympic Torch Relay came through Seneca, Kansas on horseback via the historic Pony Express route. Read about this memorable summer…

I love #BiteSized #FamilyHistory projects because I can narrow the scope to research and finish in a reasonable time, staying enthusiastic. The key: decide on a specific focus! Right now I'm focusing on first decade of my family's life #Genealogy climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/bite...

Sometimes family history doesn’t come from an archive. Sometimes it comes out of the ground. A remarkable WWI object was recently discovered buried in a garden and its story may trace back to Passchendaele itself. #WW1 #Genealogy #MilitaryHistory #History Out tomorrow…….

🎊 It's Wrap-up day for #WTChallenge 5! Join us TODAY at Noon EDT to share final stats, celebrate our amazing participants, and revel in a week of #CollaborativeGenealogy for @nathandylangoodwin.bsky.social www.wikitree.com/g2g/2024043

#ACAHashtagParty #ArchivesCuisine #FamilyHistory Relative saved a couple of MREs (Meal Ready to Eat) from his 1986 US Army service. More than 30 yrs later he opened them at holiday time so family could dare to taste. Surprisingly not spoiled but not delicious either. Photo from my family archives!

#FamilyHistory #Genealogy Researching US military ancestors on this #MemorialDay, saluting their service, and looking more closely at those who served abroad, using resources like these: climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/rese...

Honored to have researched 1776 heroes' families as of the 250th anniversary of America, the country they gave their lives to defend. These are the men who have been identified since last Memorial Day. 🇺🇸 #NoManLeftBehind

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Curating my collection by donating #WorldWarII letters to the Imperial War Museum's American Air Museum. All descendants agreed, then we had to value the letters, then sign legal documents. Our ancestors will be in the IWM! climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/wart...

Putting myself in good company for 250! Yesterday the @aupresses.bsky.social put out a list of 100 books for the semiquin but no @academic.oup.com books? Couldn't do better than @emilysneff.bsky.social @lmchervinsky.bsky.social @unlawfulentries.bsky.social! +imho politics of family is pretty impt.

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory If you had New York City ancestors, you can use this tool to see what their home or business building looks like today (map, photo). My great-granny's 5-floor walkup tenement looks much like when she lived there in 1950. climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/toda...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Find new homes for your family's old stuff so things don't end up in the junk heap! Ask whether your grandparents' old letters or even an accordion might belong in a museum or library or archive. This is a good article about curating family artifacts of all kinds. #GenHour

#FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Research I redid my newspaper research & found recently added articles that showed what else my maternal Grandpa sold in his small dairy store in the Bronx , circa 1930s-1940s, in addition to butter, eggs, and pantry items. climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/sold...

#History #BookReview "The First 24 Hours of the American Revolution" by Jack Darrell Crowder shows what was happening hour by hour in April of 1775 at Lexington & Concord--with insights from both sides. Readable & fascinating. My take: climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/book...

Curating my #FamilyHistory #Genealogy materials by trying to donate World War II letters to a repository. I wanted to keep the letters/cards safe but not in my collection. Family agreed with my plan. What to expect if you want to curate this way: climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/wart...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory We put my hubby's military memorabilia in a custom shadow box to keep all safe, organized, archived for future generations. Center photo is printed on cotton for extra detail and no fading. climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/05/futu...

You know what AI is really good for? Creating customized "Mad Libs" games. Chat offers to go "sillier" or even "chaotic" and the results are hilarious. One was set in a spooky old manor house, one was in a big library, with fill-in-the-blanks for names, animals, sounds, nouns, liquids, more.😅

This was a lovely, peaceful puzzle to assemble, featuring a rustic log lodge and a full moon over the lake.

Adding a distant ancestor to my tree (father-in-law of brother-in-law of uncle of husband of grandaunt) I came across Find a Grave memorial #95797852 created by @dlgenealogist.bsky.social! TY David for adding the memorial (and his wife) plus photographing both clearly! #Genealogy #FamilyHIstory
