Wow! This is unacceptable! Let me get in there and I'll fix this issue. I know some people who can help. #genealogists

My favorite person, my son. 💙 The reason I keep fighting the good fight, even amongst all the bullshit in this world. 💙💙

As a genealogist, family historian and keeper of the past, I am gutted to see the National Archivist Colleen J. Shogan, was fired. No reasoning. No cause. No explanation. It's clear the path being taken and I am beyond disgusted. We must protect the National Archives and the millions of records.

New Judge Bates: "This evening, Defendants represented to the Court that DOL [Department of Labor] will not allow DOGE access to any DOL data until after this Court rules on the TRO motion on Friday." We're now adding it to Tracker AFL-CIO v. Dep’t of Labor www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Working for the DOJ is a dream for me, to work as a criminal paralegal. I worked hard to get here and love my work. It's been a weird time lately as you all can imagine. Regardless of the chaos, the work must be done and justice served. Keep on keeping on my friends! #paralegal #DOJ #criminal

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship. #BlackHistoryMonth

I feel even more so today than ever before, our history is important to research and document. Citizen historians, genealogists, and family history buffs, it is time to go to work! #genealogy #genealogist #history

My grandpa was an amazing person who fought for this country. I'll never forget that history.

Extended my BCG application and ready to focus this next year to my portfolio! I’m excited to drive back into my family more and discover more. ♥️ #BCG #genealogy #portfolio #research

I have been working on the syllabus for this course, and I am excited to teach it again. There are a few openings in the course for Feb/Mar 2025. Join me to learn research, analysis, and writing skills through hands-on exercises. See slig.ugagenealogy.org/cpage.php?pt... for details.

It’s Throwback Thursday so let’s all share a photo/story of an #ancestor! Mine is my maternal grandfather, Dwight. WWII Army Medic, pulling men to safety, getting wounded in the process. Purple Heart & Bronze Stars. I have the shrapnel pulled from his leg framed w/his 💜.

Excited to be here with a fresh mind and new friends. Let's make this a great place to talk about genealogy, criminal ancestors, and life!
