Hello everyone,

Like many others, I'm trying to adjust to the new political reality here in the US. One small thing I can do is no longer expose myself to the the toxic environment of X/Twitter. I'm letting that account go dormant and have moved over to Bluesky. So far, I find it to be a friendlier space. Here is the link to my new social media and I hope you'll give me a follow.

Oh boy. This is always tough.

I'm preparing a power point for our genealogy round table tomorrow dealing with organizing genealogy: do you have files, binders, piles, or maybe a blog?
I have all of these. I have letters that were written ages ago to people who were my grandparents' ages and they responded with information about the family and their parents and grandparents - that could be 4 or 5 generations. I have a lot of files by surname and place. I've tried to put the stories in binders. I have piles which haven't been filed yet. And I have a blog on wordpress. As I work on an ancestor and begin putting the story together, I will try to write the story up and post it. Better to share than hoard. I don't want a researcher spinning their wheels looking for information which I already have. I want them to find new information and, hopefully, share it with me

Tell me how you organize your genealogy.

Our subjective judgement of what appeals at the moment to our sense of beauty and desire is surely a function of many elements.
