Food, politics, genealogy, wargaming... what did I forget?

David Allen LambertHonored to be a highlighted genealogical speaker with @legalgenealogist and others for the upcoming #RootsTech2023 #Genealogy Conference in Salt Lake City #Utah and Virtually on March 2023. How many of you #Geneadons and #Histodons have registered to attend?
Joanne FreemanHey folks:
For 2 years I've had a live webcast (History Matters) that uses history to help decode the present. Thanks to Zoom, folks have been beaming in from all over the US, & indeed, the world.
Tomorrow's episode:
"When Lines Are Crossed."
We’ve seen MANY lines crossed lately. Just today, Kanye West may have gone too far w/his antisemitism--at least, far enough to get minimal pushback.
What can such crossed-line moments in the past tell us?

Jennifer MendelsohnThis is the project I have been working on launching for roughly forever. So thrilled to have it out in the world.

Holocaust survivors offered DNA tests to help find family
NEW YORK (AP) — For decades, Jackie Young had been searching. Orphaned as an infant, he spent the first few years of his life in a Nazi internment camp in what is now the Czech Republic. After World War II he was taken to England, adopted and given a new name.
It was a good day to dismantle a #brickwall. Finally matched a death certificate for my 4x great grandfather which listed his parent's names with a death notice in the newspaper that gave his daughter's name. Hallelujah! One more generation found. #geneadon #genealogy #NYhistory #familyhistory
