Greatest #genealogy find of my life - a scrapbook belonging to my ancestor Marie Payne of York, Maine. My dad had no idea what was on his shelf!

Indeed. Banning LE from accessing users' DNA results, and member trees, I think I could accept, but banning LE, including those working on cold cases, anywhere in the world, from accessing *records* is in my view a worrying development.

Ancestry has chosen not to allow uploads of #DNA to its database, which it’s entitled to do. But to change its terms and conditions to prevent cold case researchers accessing its *records* is a very worrying move. #GeneticGenealogy
For all of my #genealogy and #ancestryhour peeps - you should know that recently Ancestry has changed its ToS to prevent searching of public records hosted on the Ancestry site to keep investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) practitioners and forensic genealogists (FGs) OUT. (Please read the whole 🧵)

Limiting access to customer's genetic information is fair enough, but limiting access to public records doesn't really make sense. Gate-keeping such information in this way is also a worrying precedent. #Genealogy

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Mamdani’s victory is a rebuke to the failed strategies of the Democratic party | Moira Donegan
The Democratic party appears listless and unprincipled, unwilling to fight because they do not believe in anything. Zohran Mamdani is the opposite of this
