  1. Genealogy’s Star: Legacy Family Tree Webinars introduces Learning Paths. “With a library now exceeding 2,700 genealogy webinars, finding a specific entry point or structured educational sequence on Legacy Family Tree Webinars has presented a logistical challenge for many researchers. To address the sheer volume of available content, the platform has introduced a new organizational tool called […]

  2. Spent Saturday and Sunday with my brother milling white ash into the parts needed for a new staircase. It’s a full-family project as the ash came from my wife’s family bush lot. The stairs are for our new home on the property where my wife’s grandparents lived from the 1940s on. My children are the fourth generation to have called it home.

  3. Although genealogy researchers are not always busy tracing families, genealogy is often a lifetime project. Many of the researchers on georgiapioneers.com have been with us for 25-30 years! And finding ancestors becomes more exciting as our children take interest.

    Georgia Pioneers now features a lifetime membership. Pay once, and never again!

  4. 📜🤓 Oh joy, because nothing says "massive global collaboration" like genealogists throwing family tree tantrums on the internet. With a bazillion ancestors and a dash of #DNA, #WikiTree promises a free-for-all of familial connections—because we all need more distant cousins to ignore. 🔍🌳

  5. So, if anyone is having #StickerShock from #AncestryCom price increases, I would advise downloading your GEDCOM file, then find another service. I would also advise downloading any photos and important records as well. Making people pay just to preserve their trees is extortion, imho. I have links to Windows software, but if anyone knows of a free Mac OS GEDCOM editor, please let me know. Most of the Mac ones seem to be paid software.

  6. Started scanning in loads of historical family documents and photos. Currently using Gnomes default document scanner, which is surprisingly good. My only gripe is I would like to to just scan straight to a file. Anyone know if there is a way to do this or an app that can do this? #Linux #FamilyHistory #familyTrees

  7. This sketch, especially the opening seconds are strangely familiar for many of us who do #familyhistory or #GenealogyResearch. 😂😂

    Just remember folks that they will thank us one day!!! ((maybe).

    Well done to foilarmsandhog (see www.foilarmsandhog.ie) for capturing this perfectly. You must have a family historian in the family!!!

  8. Returned to my wife’s ancestry today after a few new DNA matches to a line with very few. However it seems each match has thought Eliza & Elizabeth were same person. Both missed the 1851 census when both were present for the only time, in 1861 they were working as servants in separate locations. So we have mixed up lines, but appears Elizabeth never married, whilst Eliza married & moved to New Zealand where one of the matches lives. #Genealogy #DNA #familytrees

  9. Nothing like waking up on a lazy Sunday to find that #FTDNA has assigned me a new #YDNA haplogroup! Not totally unexpected, tho.. So, greets from R-FT12654!!

  10. Always makes me laugh... So many trees with obvious mistakes that show up in this list. But, some true cousins too! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #FamilyTrees #Ancestry #Geneadons

  11. @KarenSkelton
    I don’t find that easy either. For ages I assumed that the tree ‘owner’ was always on the tree, but then found sometimes - they aren’t. I only twigged that when I realised people often had built more than one tree, some of which might be for in-law families, or perhaps for friends. Good luck, and do post the answer if you find out

  12. RT @k_a_tuley: What platforms are people using to chart #genealogies and #FamilyTrees(not networks, unless it can do both)? Is there anything that allows imported data? @HNR_org @IDHNetwork #DigitalHumanities #Genealogy #DataViz @TobiasBahadur

  13. Reminded by University Challenge’s question about the Great Cause and who would get the Scottish crown in the 13th century. My class studied this early in secondary school in Hawick, drawing up family trees. But none quite as huge as this one I just found! #ScottishHistory #Scotland #Medieval #Royal #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #13thCentury #ThirteenthCentury #SchoolHistory #History #School #Teaching #Education #SecondarySchool #UniversityChallenge #FamilyTrees

  14. @PattyHankins
    Personally I love to read posts that make the individuals come to life on the page, rather than a list of names and dates. The more that person becomes real, the more fascinating they become. I suspect we all grow attached to people to whom we are not related, simply by researching them for someone else’s tree.
    So for me #FamilyStories please…

  15. Another maternal aunt #Birthday! Born 95 years ago today, my mother's next younger sister (and 3rd child overall) Genevieve Hicks. Aunt Jenny was a wild one. She called me "the little hippie" and I called her "the old witch". We were besties whenever she came to visit. #Genealogy #Ancestry #FamilyHistory #FamilyTrees #Geneadons

  16. @bjnlsgenealogy I wonder if that's the George Chapman that is always confused with my 3x GGF, George W. Chapman, Jr. He was born and died in Pennsylvania, but I see so many leads and hints for a George Chapman in Australia. My George Sr. was born in Scotland and died in PA, USA. Neither are a match to your William George, but are close enough for trouble!
