Two small mountains in Staunton, VA were named for two County Tyrone mountains by homesick 18th century colonists. Betsy Bell and Mary Gray’s earlier origins lie in Scottish folklore. #CamdenBurialsDNA #history #genealogy #firstveterans

Dear anyone in the whole world that I text or email with, my phone insists on putting an exclamation mark after the word, Camden! (< see?!) since I’m currently working on a project from the Battle of Camden!, you have been warned, and I refuse to keep manually changing it, OK? Thanks!

Woooooow. Has anyone tried the new text search and transcriptions tool on FamilySearch? This is revolutionizing our ability to trace Colonial families through deeds for the Camden Burials DNA project!

This sign is from Dick's Sporting Goods. Guess who is getting all my orders for workout clothing, tennis shoes, sporting goods, gifts, Carhartt, and winter wear from now on? Trying hard to replace Amazon and this feels like a great first step.
