I have been wanting to recover our dinning room table chairs. I bought vintage fabric and decided to pull one of the covers off and found the original—untouched—seat covers underneath. In pristine condition. 🤯

I’m working on my family history for a Substack post. I figured I’d use blogging as a way to dedicate more time to my research. Yesterday I spent time reading the headlines from the day my ancestor arrived at Ellis Island & I wondered, what if your favorite source to look through? #genealogy

The Łódź Ghetto was the longest-standing in Nazi-occupied Poland, a place of resilience and tragedy. Thousands perished, yet their stories live on in records and memories. I’ve found documents showing my ancestors there. Do your ancestors have ties to Łódź? #genealogy

Genealogists tend to not pay a lot of attention to European settlement patterns in 1600s era New England and New York. But those patterns may directly impact your lineage society eligibility. #genealogy #lineagesocieties charteroakgenealogy.com/2022/11/12/m...

I’m looking through a yearbook from 1975. That year the yearbook staff decided to list students by their birth month and date. And I’m really not sure why…. #genealogy

New post on Substack: In 1800, Gabriel Prosser planned a massive slave rebellion in Virginia, aiming to seize Richmond. A storm delayed the uprising, and betrayal led to his capture. He was executed, but his fight for freedom lives on. #genealogy #blackhistory

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

My ancestors crossed oceans from Italy and Eastern Europe, chasing survival more than dreams. I think about this a lot. How my Nona, who was abandoned by her husband, made her way to Canada with two small kids—alone. What’s a family story that shaped you? Share below! #Genealogy

Digging into my family history, I always note how much my ancestors lives were shaped by the world around them—wars, migrations, struggles, & triumphs. Family history is history. It’s wild to see where we come from! What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about your ancestors? #Genealogy

Would be a good time, historians, to make sure all your archive photos are safely backed up to an offline hard drive or three. #🗃️

Turning genealogy into a story brings ancestors to life—beyond names & dates, into struggles, triumphs, and secrets. Creative nonfiction makes history personal. Do you write (or want to write) about your family’s past? Let’s talk research, storytelling & truth! #Genealogy #Writing
