Forest Fern@Flominator Do have a familysearch.org free account? I performed a preliminary search and found several records for the Wangler surname during that time. There are marriage registers on this website. Also, sometimes, when you search further within, let's say, the census records, you'll discover more specifics about the people that will aid your research. #Genealogy #genealogist
Sharing the best of humanity with the world, one story at a time.Tupac's song 'Brenda's Got A Baby' was based on a true story. Now Brenda's baby has been found.
AnneTheWriter#Genealogists are a special kind of people.

Society for One-Place StudiesMember of the Week🔗 at @wikitree.bsky.social WikiTree is @geniaus.bsky.social Jill Ball, who became a Wiki #Genealogist in 2017. Watch out for Jill's mention of her #OnePlaceStudy of Carey Bay! #OnePlaceWednesday
Ancestry RoadsHow do you keep your interest going with #genealogy? Is the spark still alive? Or is the magic gone?
This is something that I've been struggling with. Recently, I had to make a few decisions on where to spend my #time.
I would love to hear from others on their thoughts about gen #research, #brickwalls, and #burnout
I wrote down a few of my thoughts and issues:

Walking around a local grocery store in #NewOrleans & I came across a huge stack of Poor Boy (Po Boy) bread. I absolutely grabbed one (#bread is life).
I found the name of original bakery owner: George H Leidenheimer from Germany.
What's a #genealogist to do on a rainy day in #NOLA (besides drink 😉)? Create a #WikiTree profile.
And just my luck, I happen to know a German that can help, @Flominator, until I saw which part of #Germany George came from. Drats 🫤
@shamrockgenealogist @wikitree Thanks for posting about the #Auschwitz Initiative on #WikiTree. This message was a needed reminder for me to continue this important work on the transport list I started.
I will add that if any #genealogist (or anyone that does #genealogy ) is nervous to help this initiative, don't be. Many of us will help get you started using tools built by @Flominator

🇨🇦Anyone have experience with flatbed scanners? Looking for something above entry level, 11x17 capable, and has some speed to it. As a former high end drum scanner operator, I've been very spoiled in my lifetime. My little Epson v350 doesn’t cut it anymore. As the accidentally appointed family #genealogist, I am tasked routinely with scanning old photos and photo albums, some dating back to the late 1800s.
Looking for a faster better flatbed scanner.
AmgineI am an amateur #genealogist, and am often searching through #newspapers of the past two centuries.
At no point are these records unbiased, in my experience. The second lesson they teach is the purpose of #journalism in the recent centuries has always been selling readers to merchants/politicians.
There was no golden age.
But they are a record of a community, through the lens of a #bias.
