@genchat I commented on historical newspapers here https://edintone.com/newspapers/ More recent reading suggests that court cases and reports of family events especially funerals are fairly safe. Reporters would collect their facts from the clergyman or undertaker. However treat crime reports […]
#RootsTech Watching a replay of Provenance & Proof: Advanced Strategies for Finding & Using Manuscripts in Your Research. Reminds me of #genchat when @tharchivelady.bsky.social shared her expertise with us!

Oh heyyyy look what's on the #RootsTech schedule: #NotAtRootsTech
Uh, well, YEAH, #GenChat, that's precisely the idea.
With @dearmyrtle.bsky.social involved, our Projectkin have mingled with Geneabloggers and discovered kindred spirits. 🥹
So... this is us at #RootsTech, and #NotAtRootsTech.
Seriously independent, we're building skybridges between platforms.
I've taken some PTO & mapped out my #NotAtRootsTech schedule. If I'm up for it, there may be some random questions from #genchat throughout #RootsTech . We'll see! @genchat.bsky.social

We all know about Lowell and Manchester. But Amador, #California? Maybe not so much, though it too should find a place in our mental map of Franco-America.
Let's travel (and meet a murderess).

Born on Feb. 26, 1863: Siméon (Sam) Larocque. Before Nap Lajoie, there was Sam Larocque, the first French Canadian to win name recognition in American #baseball. An entertainer, a star, and, later, the umpire known as "Dad." #genealogy #genchat #immigration #Quebec

Genealogists of Bluesky (and by extension #genchat ):
When you have multiple possible ancestors or ‘aspects’ of a family tree you could look at, how do you decide which you’re going to tackle each day? Do you just jump straight in? Have you a list? Locations or thematically? I’m really curious.

Happy New Year to all my #GenChat friends.
RIP #Treeverne! I miss you.
I haven't been able to attend #Genchat for a while (I haven't been on this account for a while, either, thanks to 55-hour work weeks over the holidays). So, of course, when I go searching to see if one will be happening tomorrow night, I find it has ended. 😭
I'm not sure why, though...

#GenHour Hi, everyone! I found that sometimes the custom feed creator can create problems with posts appearing in both the custom feed & the search bar. Happened to me a few months ago with #genchat . They decided to add an algorithm & I then had to kill the feed.
#AncestryHour Also, last Friday, due to missing out an alarm, I nearly missed the last #GenChat. With that, plus the somber news of the weekend, thoughts of buidling and sustaining community have been on my mind.
