Excellent research and the photos are great especially the one of you with your great grandmother!

Speakers Corner: New Lands of the American West with Crystal Lorimor and Kelli Cedarfield Pawnee oral traditions and genealogy research, introduced us stories about lands of the American West, retold through family recollections, maps, territory records, and collected artifacts.

We had two fabulous stories and storytellers on Speakers’ Corner this week. The recording is in the post in case you missed it. open.substack.com/pub/projectk...

I know what you mean. I try to avoid cruise ship days when shopping in Wellington ... We are accustomed to walking on the left-hand side of the pavement and most of the visitors are used to the right-hand side. Sometimes it's hard work avoiding people coming from the opposite direction.

Can anyone help Daniel?

I agree. It's looking good and I like the way @crgalvin.bsky.social has pinned an index at the top.

This is amazing, Dai!

@projectkin.bsky.social Each gen of signatures from my 2x great grandma, Anne Williams (signed as Mrs. Tom Davies), to my 12x grampie, David Evans of Pantcoy. The fact my 9x grandma could write her name in 1711 is so fascinating to me. Like where did she go to school??? #Genealogy

Rather chuffed to have my article published in The New Zealand Genealogist magazine December issue. The theme was "Where did they live?" #genealogy #familyhistory #archives #nz #genhour #oneplacestudies

This is our very special year end program of @yycphoto.bsky.social Kathy’s Corner… it’s going to be a hoot! And free. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #genhour

Join us! Holiday stories… remember that time when you caught Santa kissing mommy?

That's great! #GenHour #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Thanks. I will do that!

A little late ... Just tuning in for the tail end #OPSConf25

I posted it on 19 October 2025 (around the same time as the Kapiti course). First PO couldn't send anything to US at all and told me of the 2 in Wellington on a different system that could. I may have been fortunate to go to two PO's with knowledgeable helpful people!-?

I recently sent an MtDNA kit to USA from NZ. The first PO I went to couldn't send to US but told me which ones in Wellington can so I went to one of those. The person there advised me to send Economy. It cost me $4.70 and took 11 days to get there. She advised not to send Express.

It's always exciting to find something drawn or written in an ancestor's own hand, isn't it #GenHour (belated!)

I have only just caught up with this because I was on a plane on the way to Melbourne during #GenHour today. Yes, I agree with @projectkin.bsky.social, the page Projectkin.org/stories250 is certainly worth checking out #Stories250

As America, our 250th has had me thinking about better highlighting the extraordinary array of posts added to the Projectkin’s #Stories250 effort.

Why not roll all posts and talk recordings into a new page: Projectkin.org/stories250

Haven't had time for more than a cursory glance yet. Annoyingly I have somewhere to be first thing this morning but I will be getting too them very soon. I will report back, Julie #GenHour

Thank you

Best of luck. I hope she agrees!

Hello #GenHour I DNA tested autosomal way back in 2013 but put off any other type of testing until now. Just got an email (opened 2 minutes ago) from FTDNA to say my mtDNA results are in. So ... Don't think I will get much else done today! 🧬 #Genealogy #GeneticGenealogy

And the full recording of Karen de Bruyne's talk for All About That Place, is now posted to both YouTube and Substack.

And my words merged creating a useless link (do wish I could edit). Of course you all know I meant weare.xyz

I’ve been writing & recording a talk ready for this year’s #MiniAATP - All About That Place is an online conference on place-based research, & while it’s paused this year, there will be a social media version, with @oneplacestudies.bsky.social releasing a video each day #GenHour

GenClub Episode 1 Ancestory - Griffintown 1861: Molton Metal

This week-end I need to do a bit of preparation for the next #GenClub recording #GenHour. Here is the last one ... open.substack.com/pub/genealog...

Hello #GenHour I am not sure where the past week disappeared to 🙃. I have been trying to tidy up some of the profiles in my family history archive on theweare.xyz platform (entailing further research a bit of rewriting) but have had lots of interruptions.

Goodness!

Thanks. That's good to know. Great that you found her!
