Wherever you are in your genealogy journey--a hobbyist, a professional, or somewhere in between--what is your area of expertise? Your superpower? Your passion? In other words, what could you confidently teach a beginner?

Think skills, records sets, specialties, knowledge. My response in comments.

Check your social media accounts. I found out I was being followed on the book of faces by the FOTUS & had follow requests on my locked-down instapot account by the hillbilly and the alabaster house. These are not transitioned by the former folks' accounts, which I still follow & which are archived.

Nothing like discovering you've been doing a part of the Government's action plan for Mother and Baby Home survivors and have been doing more than what they would've set out to do... 🙃

Even then, they still won't release the children's names [which they have]. 😖
