My holiday gift from hubby just arrived--newly published book by @megansmolenyak.com about Annie Moore and #EllisIsland. Three of my four immigrant grandparents came through Ellis Island, all from Eastern Europe. Interested to see what Megan learned about Annie! #Immigration

He is pissed and rightfully so. Looks like there are still a few governors who know how resistance should be done. He would make a great president. Just saying.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

"Trump added that additional aid for North Carolina and California should flow directly from the federal government. “So rather than going through FEMA, it will go through us,” he said." But you ARE FEMA and FEMA IS YOU! Stop renaming things so you can act like they are new and different

Anthony Fauci dared to commit the one mortal sin for which there can never be any forgiveness: he stood in the face of their bloviating, belligerent spray-tanned savior—and he spoke truth that could actually save lives. That is why they despise him. johnpavlovitz.com/2021/10/25/t...

For any one wondering about the strange price point for my Annie Moore of Ellis Island book, she arrived on 1 Jan 1892 - hence, $18.92. A little nod to history! #genealogy

Out and about in the parish of Fawsley, my local #OnePlaceStudy place, on #OnePlaceWednesday! A little earlier I photographed the scene below again; since then I have managed to ascend the hill (with lots of stops, for photos, not to get my breath back 😉) and take in much-missed sights and sounds.

This may seem silly, but I’m starting to realize that one of the most basic concepts that will help you get much further in #Genealogy is to understand that there can be multiple people with the same exact name.

Creating a #SixGenerations chart for places of birth is a great focus for research. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get further with my Prussian/German/Pomeranians due to few surviving records for their area hugging the Baltic Sea. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory
