Something for Music Monday.
A new paternal, genetic kinsman, Patty Gurdy (stage name). When I first heard this song I recognized it from the Prime series "Carnival Row". Not my usual genre but I really do enjoy this song! Proud to have a family connection!

Discovered my maternal kinsman (a double connection) in the Star Wars series "Andor"! I'm enjoying the series even more now!

I love when you find the key people that have history forever, books written about their ancient family history.
Current research - Walter Arnot "of that Ilk" b1485. I also love that Scottish title. His genealogical history goes back to around 1250... So many people to explore

Interesting discussion among the Canada branch of Association of Professional Genealogists - all of us seeing a surge of people living in the US hoping they qualify for Canadian citizenship through parents or grandparents. An immigration lawyer aquaintance of mine commented that every time there's a US election, people whose candidates lose dream of moving to Canada - this is the first time we're seeing them actually do so in large numbers. #Apgen #expat #USpol #geneadons #genealogy
