I started researching my family with pencil & paper and snail mail back in 1980. When I needed to go back to work and my daughter was home with her kids, she took over. I'm now retired from teaching littles and boy do I have a lot to catch up on! I feel like I'm doing pretty well including more online expertise and using DNA but I'm also on a retired teacher's budget! I am especially interested in tips on how to search on a small amount of cash. I'm in Columbus, Ohio.

A perk of the LC genealogy society is our ancestral writing group. For our next share, we are writing about ourselves. Does this work?

On [birth date], I came into the world with a blast at 11:58 am, interrupting my mother’s lunch.

Are #Genealogy blogs still relevant? With so much turmoil/uncertainty in the social media world, blogs remain a great way to talk about #FamilyHistory in our own words, in our own time. Long or short posts, frequent or occasional posts, bloggers can choose. I learn so much from blogs! My take, after nearly 16 yrs of gen blogging: https://climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2023/08/are-genealogy-blogs-still-relevant.html

Today's basil harvest. Ran it through the food processor with a bit of olive oil. Now there are 11 cubes of basil solidifying in the freezer 😀

I am reading my 9xg grandfather's will (1675) and he has left his son "all my Bookes excepting those which I have heretofore marked for my wife and given to her". I think I love him.

I have found the site of my dreams!

I've been at this for over 40 years and have waited that long for a site that is about saving all my family history in a beautiful format in order to share AND to save for the future. I'm building profiles and blogging too. It's called WeAre.XYZ and it is awesome!

Popped on the bird site and what do I see but "The Jews" trending and a post for Nationalism TV featuring anti Semite, Nick Fuentes. I'm so tired of seeing all of this hate.
