If I'm awake, I'm doing genealogy, genetic genealogy or preserving my photo and digital legacy. My daily goals are to read, write, move and relax.

Finding Your Roots Translator Katherine Schober on German Genealogy & Celebrity Discoveries YouTube video by Ellen Thompson-Jennings - Family History Hound

My newest YouTube video is my interview at RootsTech 2025 with Katherine Schober from Germanology and her work on the show Finding Your Roots. Katherine has worked on the family histories of so many celebrities. I loved learning all about the process youtu.be/ZGrLn225c3U

β€˜I think we brought the wrong one home’: one mother’s search to find her lost son Joan always suspected she had been handed someone else’s baby by the hospital when she gave birth more than 70 years ago. Then an Ancestry DNA test seemed to prove her right. Now in her 90s, she is in...

In today's hospital births, babies never leave their mother's side. But back in the 50s, this wasn't the case. This story is about a mother and her search to find the child who was switched at birth. #HoundontheHunt #DNA www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

What project are you going to start today? Do you realize that if you worked on your photo collection for just 15 minutes a day in a year, you'd have over 91 hours put into your collection? How cool is that? So, what are you going to start today? www.forever.com/ambassador/e...

Today, I went to MyHeritage to get my ethnicity. I got a message from my friend Daniel Horowitz this morning about their recent update to their ethnicity estimates.

Tomorrow's episode of FINDING YOUR ROOTS features a fascinating discovery I made researching Chrissy Teigen's German ancestors. I never know ahead of time what makes the cut, but I expect this discovery will be a key part of her interview. Tune in to your local PBS station to watch!

I guess with it being the start of a new year, many of us often think of setting goals & reviewing the ones we set last year…& I completely agree with @chiddickstree.bsky.social when he says it doesn’t matter if all you did was get through 2024! I do find it helpful to set goals though… 1/2 #GenHour

Instead, check the longest shared DNA segment. A single, longer segment is more likely to indicate a recent connection, while multiple smaller segments may suggest a distant or population-based relationship.

I've done both. One in person one virtually. The Superstition Mountain virtual was so much fun to work on with a friend. We both purchased and worked on it together via Facetime.

I'm Canadian but I'm hiding in Arizona from the snow. I spent some time learning more about a bridge that my uncle was on the construction crew in 1912 with some 500 other people.
