I found my tribe here with my genealogy pals!

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.

Joy is when a DNA relative reaches out from the side of the family that is encrusted in dirty family secrets. She shared a good memory, which was nice to hear. Family secrets do nobody good,and my paternal sifted has plenty of them. #DirtySecrets #FamilySecrets #Genealogy #History
Writing, But Not What I Expected

STROKING THE PEN
Yesterday a member in my genealogy group shared a DNA shared DNA discoveries that sent her life into a whirlwind. So far, my DNA results have been what I expected- no surprises. What about you? Any DNA surprises?

Recently I came across a 1938 transcript of an interview my 2nd great grandmother gave about migrating from Missouri to Oklahoma in the late 1800s. It was like she was speaking from the pages! #Genealogy #History #Ancestors #Migration

What is your unexpected family find?

One of my DNA matches contacted me regarding possible connection to her paternal grandmother’s line. I am not sure but I think I’m on the right track. Through common ancestors, the connection is on my maternal line. I can’t wait to figure this out!
When I signed up for Mastadon a few months back I could not find my genealogy tribe, but here you are! Thank you @blainebettinger
