Let's try and start 'a thing'. How about sharing a Biography of an ancestor? Most of us seem to have blogs, or other areas on the web where we put our research.

It would be great to share interesting blogs (or a write up here). I am always interested in other people and their own stories. I am sure you are too.

What about #Geniog ? .... as in Genealogy Biography

@azurerae Great idea and what a fascinating connection! So often, large apartment buildings housed relatives and FAN club members of our ancestors. In different apartments of one Bronx building lived my Dad, his mother, his sister, circa 1950. Family friends lived in the building too! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

@azurerae @david What is a one place study? Sounds like that might be something I would like to do.

I wondered that too 🙂

@david @richsandler it's a study of one place, like a house, cemetery, street, or a hamlet
Another way to approach genealogy is to research the location your ancestors lived, sometimes it will help break brick walls or shed more light on their story.

@azurerae @david @richsandler @SocOnePlaceStudies Along those same lines, this is a study I did of my former house before I left it. A tribute to its history and past residents. https://greeneconnections.com/2020/07/05/the-house-that-cyrus-built/
