Don't you hate it when a relative pops up & asks about a family line & suddenly you're down a rabbit hole & not following that clear path you had intended to look at for your research? And *sooo* many questions, have I now! #genealogy #ancestry #lineage #Genealogical #gedcom #familyhistory #bcgs

Weiß jemand, wo ich historische Informationen über die Heerstraße 22 in #Berlin finden könnte? Ich weiß, dass es 1958 Cafe Stephani hieß und ich versuche, mehr darüber herauszufinden, was es war und wer dort war - für meine Familiengeschichte. Wenn mir jemand helfen kann, oder mir eine Richtung geben kann, wo ich diese Informationen finden könnte - das wäre großartig!

Arrived home after a small #familyreunion (2500 km drive!)

And, like usual, a dozen requests for this or that #genealogical documentation. Thank goodness for #Webtrees. I just reply they can sign up on the site - and because it is a #collaborative #family #GED, once they are approved they can see (and download) all the sources, documents, unwatermaked images, and additional stories & details. Iirc, they can even copy/download a branch of the #tree to start their own #familytree.

African American Genealogy Workshop “Genealogy and Migration Stories” - Heinz History Center

The migration of African Americans primarily from the Southern United States to points North and West changed the landscape of this country forever. But there is a myriad of experiences by individuals and families during the migration.

Genealogist and family historians are using methods and techniques to recapture those relatives that braved the migration and start anew in new spaces with new faces.

In partnership with the #African #American #Historical & #Genealogical #Society of #Pittsburgh, this workshop will focus on family migration stories and genealogical research methods useful for piecing together family histories.

Now here's a #genealogical and #historical #mystery. The Will of Dr Richard Turner who in 1770 left everything to Elizabeth Giles "by whom I have had many children and whom I esteem as much as any man does his lawful wife". She was a 'singlewoman', so was he already married? Divorce was impossible for most.

#RightToErasure refused in #Iceland’s large national #genealogical database, the #Íslendingabók. As I understand it, this contains all Icelanders, including living ones, and even their foreign spouses, It’s log-in only but so widely used, in practice available to all. Remember the ‘dating incest app’ story? Was a student project wrapper around this. Erasure refused due to science/archiving gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=Per #DataProtection

@Tony_Meredith Just stumbled across this article by Ronald Dunning on a Burgh-Darcy marriage, back in 1329: janeausteninvermont.blog/2013/

Elizabeth #LadyofClare probably attended the first wedding of her husband's sister Joan de #Burgh at #Greencastle in 1312, but left Ireland in 1316 so would not have been at the second.

I think the #PrideAndPrejudice #CharacterNames allude to #UKpolitics in #JaneAusten's day, but a lot of #genealogical info was available to her: more at historians.social/@kawulf/1096

This image is the result of two of my passions. #SoftwareDevelopment (also my job) and #genealogical research. The image is scaled down for anonymity. Although only four people are still alive

Gender colors and sibling display were requirements of my daughters. They don't want a family tree without their sister :)

My eldest paternal ancestor was a carter in the postal service, hence maybe my job in the internet business :)

I’m told I should make an #introduction post for my #twittermigration so here it goes…
A mother of 4, gramma of 5. Love #dogs #gardening #history and #genealogical research. A #cancer warrior having beat it 3 times now.
Paralegal looking for a change. Currently taking care of my #autistic granddaughter and loving it!
I’m a Democrat tired of crazy people! Believer in Democracy and aware of its frailty. Jefferson foresaw these problems…
