Instead of falling into a cesspool of stress and worry, I’m starting off focusing on emotional and spiritual health with an amazing shamanic healer, and my physical health with a fantastic physical trainer. 🧘 #lessonslearnedfrom45

I’m presenting a series of classes for my local society on using Google mapping tools for genealogy research. Have you used Maps, Earth (web), or Earth Pro? If so, have they helped you to break through a brick wall or answer a research question?

I feel the same pain with Norwegian research. Im fortunate enough to have a native 4th cousin that helps me. πŸ₯°

I laugh when I think about my 15-year-old self’s reaction to receiving this as a birthday gift. I deeply appreciate and love it now! #genealogy #writing

Spent today with the men in my house doing good works at the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society library moving microfilm cabinets and shelving for an expansion project. πŸ₯°

A Thanksgiving tradition: pie with coffee the next morning because we were too full last night.

I just checked the β€œwhy”—vodka doesn’t contribute to gluten formation as much as water does. Thus, crust isn’t as β€œtough.”

Yup! Even amounts of cold vodka and water. It does seem to impact the crust texture.

Continuing the arduous genealogical task of determining the ancestral lines of William Thurman (abt 1783-1861) of Franklin Co, TN. I’ve looked at so many Thurman/Thurmond/Turman families that I’m thinking I need to commit to a surname and migration study. 😳

Thank you, Bluesky community. I just made the switch from Goodreads to The Story Graph. The stats page confirmed my suspicions for this yearβ€”top genres are memoir and history.

I saw that email in my inbox today. Never felt better about $69.99 for Center Ice.

Hello! New here and hoping to connect with the genealogy community and fellow knitters/spinners/weavers. My current projects include working on my CG and knitting a lace shawl. πŸ€“ Since no introduction post is complete without a pet photo, meet Gable and Roxy.
