If I'm awake, I'm doing genealogy, genetic genealogy or preserving my photo and digital legacy. My daily goals are to read, write, move and relax.

In today's hospital births, babies never leave their mother's side. But back in the 50s, this wasn't the case. This story is about a mother and her search to find the child who was switched at birth. #HoundontheHunt #DNA www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

@everyone, I've created a new YouTube video about making a direct line tree for your DNA. But I guess you could have just read the link. lol #houndonthehunt youtu.be/ckuctP3PM4E

If you post about genealogy, then I'm likely to follow you. #HoundontheHunt #genealogy #familyhistory

What project are you going to start today? Do you realize that if you worked on your photo collection for just 15 minutes a day in a year, you'd have over 91 hours put into your collection? How cool is that? So, what are you going to start today? www.forever.com/ambassador/e...

Today, I went to MyHeritage to get my ethnicity. I got a message from my friend Daniel Horowitz this morning about their recent update to their ethnicity estimates. If you don't have your DNA at MyHeritage. blog.familyhistoryhound.com/MyHeritageDNA #Ad #HoundontheHunt #DNA

Canada's Wiarton Willie has predicted an early spring after he did not see his shadow this morning on Groundhog Day. #HoundontheHunt #spring #WiartonWillie

My latest video is all about the FamilySearch Full Text Experiment. #Genealogy #HoundontheHunt youtu.be/X9BvXImZNrc

Tomorrow's episode of FINDING YOUR ROOTS features a fascinating discovery I made researching Chrissy Teigen's German ancestors. I never know ahead of time what makes the cut, but I expect this discovery will be a key part of her interview. Tune in to your local PBS station to watch! #genealogy

Thomas MacEntee is offering his book for free.. but only until January 3. Get it while you can. amzn.to/4j28Ee3

I guess with it being the start of a new year, many of us often think of setting goals & reviewing the ones we set last year…& I completely agree with @chiddickstree.bsky.social when he says it doesn’t matter if all you did was get through 2024! I do find it helpful to set goals though… 1/2 #GenHour

My latest video is something I learned about my great-grandfather, William Beaton. #HoundontheHunt #genealogy youtu.be/lZmFNoauKgE

Today's blog is about how I'm engaging my family in my genealogy. #HoundontheHunt #genealogy #militarygenealogy blog.familyhistoryhound.com/.../connecti...

Instead, check the longest shared DNA segment. A single, longer segment is more likely to indicate a recent connection, while multiple smaller segments may suggest a distant or population-based relationship. #DNA #Genealogy

Don't get me wrong.. I love Live Memory from #MyHeritage... but sometimes things are just funny. It's all fun and games until you tear your bear's arm off, lol.

This is me since I joined Blue Sky

What is your most memorable #genealogy find? Mine was finding a friend's half siblings without using DNA.. Your turn

One of the posts from my tweet archive. Figured I should repost it onto here, I'm still working on this map - but chances are if you are / you know anyone near these pins, you could be related to a child in a Mother and Baby Home who died. Link to map: www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...

This is so true. Often we get so caught up in other people's research we don't do a good enough job for our own family. Simply because we don't have the time.

@megansmolenyak.bsky.social me too

This is exactly why I have scanned and digitized my family's entire photo collection, video collection, ephemera, and anything else I can get my hands on?

Today’s tip is about being proactive. Remember that there’s a lesser influence by algorithms here, what you share, others *will* see. So, liking a post doesn’t put it in other people’s timelines. If you want them to see it you, *need* to repost. Quote post or repost, your choice, just use it. 😀🔃💬

Hello, #genealogy friends. I love genealogy, DNA, and photo preservation. I'm working on one of those three things if I'm awake. :)
