Thanks to several enthusiastic researchers on #Ancestorian, I've managed to find out where my ancestors lived in Deptford even though the street named in their documents hasn't existed in 200 years. #genealogy #genohistory #geneadons
@ancestorian Have only been on this site for a day and a bit, and already I've been prompted by other users to take a fresh look at one of my ancestral lines - the result being that I finally saw connections I hadn't seen before, and a generational link that was tentative two days ago is much stronger now. #genealogy #geneadons #ancestorian #genohistory
Donna Cox BakerPlease respond with your point of view about the police using #DNA databases like #GEDmatch to solve cold cases. Let's assume we all value privacy, we all value crime resolution. But which do you value most when DNA you submitted to a database for genealogical research before police recognized this data source might be used now to find a criminal?

These color images of black life in the Great Migration destination of Chicago are stunningly clear.

Several things I should be working on today, but instead I'm reading up on the history of York County, Pa., because it's relevant to a genealogy query I'm trying to answer and is much more interesting than sorting through my parents' papers. #Genealogy #Geneadons #Genohistory
One-place studies sounds like what we called local history in graduate school. And my current project could qualify as that somewhat. What takes it down a different path for me is to anchor the research in a set of people who lived there, rather than making the municipality the main character or point of view. To me, genohistory can be the story of a place through specific people or of specific people as they experienced a place and time.
@dcoxbaker @wychwoodnz Excellent! I hope it catches on too. I've been trying unsuccessfully for some time to come up with a word for my approach. Historians tend to be dismissive of genealogists, and genealogists (most of whom are self-trained) often don't understand why wider #history is so vital to understanding #genealogy. But for me the two are inseparable. And you've done it! I'm a genohistorian. #Geneadons #Genohistory
