  1. #Genealogy friends: I started a One Place Study (OPS) for a town of one square mile. The 1950 #Census lists mostly unnamed dirt roads (there are several of these).

    I am struggling to figure out an address system. Some of these dirt roads are now named but many are lost forever.

    My goal is to show each home with a photo and document the people that lived there on #WikiTree

    I would love opinions on how to handle this. Any thoughts?

  2. Finding my roots is not only about building a family tree, but also about collecting photos and documents that capture my family's history.
    Today I found a postcard sent by my great-grandfather's brother (bottom left) from the front in 1915. He died a year later on the Eastern Front during the Brusilov offensive at the age of 20.

  3. Släktband i P1 har gjort ett avsnitt om min farfars morfars farfar, soldaten Sven Ahl, som dog 22 år ung i svenska Pommern och efterlämnade hustru och son på soldattorpet hemma i Småland.

  4. 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!!!

  5. DNA can be a great way to break down a genealogy brick wall. Working with a client's DNA matches, I made some small progress, but being able to triangulate these with his sister's DNA matches has allowed a great leap forward! Tomorrow looks to be a busy day - very exciting!
