8 hours-crossing info-sites and matches, finally I have one tree. One match-both parents are matches too, the father's parents and mother's parents, and the father's cousin and the mother's aunt. With so many people on the globe, can people please stop marrying each other's families? #genealogy #DNA

"Stepping out of my comfort zone in a fashion production got me thinking about genealogy: we rely on familiar sites & strategies, but how often do you explore new ones? Are you open to learn? Growth happens when we try the unexpected. Watch me embrace the unfamiliar here! #Genealogy #NewAdventures

When you receive a cape from your friend who received it from her aunt who received it from her mother's friend. That friend just celebrated her 💯 birthday. That's wearing history. #genealogy

Celebrating my grandma, Chaya Sperling, 106th heavenly birthday. You were a the example of love, wisdom, and resilience. Your spirit lives in every hug, meal, and moment of strength. The phoenix tattooed on my arm tells our story: rising above. Missing and loving you. Your granddaughter. #genealogy

Did all the brave people move to @bsky.app 🙃?
I talk about Genealogy for our descendants. Here's a question with a smile. What do you have hidden away that you won't show your kids today, but wish you could see their faces when they find it after you're gone? If too private just say yes #genealogy

Have you seen the MAGIC? The last time I saw my paternal grandparents was 52 years ago. I always remembered they loved me. Now I have a live memory of this love. It brings tears to my eyes and heart to see this. @myheritageofficial.bsky.social #myheritahe #livememory #genealogy #stories #love

Do you have a pic that when you look at it, it feels like looking at another life? are you brave enough to post it? Me, 14 years ago(at 44), no hair, and no idea what I want out of life, no sense of purpose. Days long gone. Today I know I was put on this earth to reunite families. #genealogy #DNA

What we want to know about our ancestors is not dry data but the personal human daily things. That's where I see the importance of this new breakthrough by MyHeritage -3.4 Billion Records Extracted From Historical Newspapers. Amazing. #MyHeritage #genealogy blog.myheritage.com/2024/12/majo...
Major Breakthrough: 3.4 Billion Records Extracted From Historical Newspapers Were Added to MyHeritage - MyHeritage Blog

For a talk, I'm preparing I would love to hear your choices.
You can bring back *one* ancestor from any part of your tree
You get to ask them *one* question.
Who would that be and what would be your question?

I think the younger generation lost site of how important that fascinating this is

This is so special, I wish I had one for any female ancestor of mine, this is such a treasure.
Pocket books acted as diaries and calendars for women, and this one from 1803 in our collection is no exception.

It has been written in by Jane Nash Ward, filling the pages with notes on her life in both London and Iver and on her financial struggles.

My favorite 30 min? My son knocks and says, “It’s ready.” I step away to find a bowl of seasoned chicken on fluffy couscous, made with love for me. I sit and savor every bite. It’s simple, but those moments are pure bliss, like a good night's sleep.❤️ none left to photo, Chatgpt recreated
