Hi all. I am a retired CNA spending my time expressing myself through every outlet I can find.

Lost my password and screen name on that other platform, hoping this will be a lot more comfortable.

Got my Grandfather’s DC…somehow always thought COD was heart related. Turned out to be a massive stroke. He was young too, only 67. #Ancestry #Genealogy

Worth a read. Great explanation of what the US archivist does, and why the firing of the archivist without notice (as required by law) matters. #genealogy

A very important mystery #genealogy folks. Anyone with useful expertise here?
Help me identify this WWII soldier for a story I'm writing. My deadline is Feb. 14. The portrait was made between 1943 & 1945 in Pittsburgh's Hill District. He has a rifle medal on his chest, Service Forces patch & a Corps of Engineers insignia on his hat. Please repost & help me ID him. 🗃️

If someone has a WWII draft card, but they were rejected for service for physical or developmental reasons, would there still be a record of that? What would that be under? #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

If on Facebook, check for a forced follow to White House, Trump, Vance or Melania. Go to settings->activity log->connections->followers. It'll show you what you've followed by date. Under Jan. 20th 1 or more of those pages will have you following it. This isn't just following WH and it switched.

After a walk in the snow with the dogs and a hot lunch, it’s time to curl up and read.

The movie mostly follows the book, but there was so much more to Oppenheimer. It’s a long, long read. #BookSky 💙📚

I was pleasantly surprised this morning for our first significant snowfall of the winter. Better two months late than never.☃️

My grandparents researched #genealogy by using telephone books and sending questionnaires to everyone named Odom, Griffin or Richardson in certain areas. I found a cousin near where I used to live and I’m too shy to reach out.

One of my favorite #genealogy finds was my close relative Robert Renbert Wilson who helped create the Political Science department at Duke University. I hope someday to dive into his collection of papers archives.lib.duke.edu/catalog/uawi...

All I got for Christmas is sick. Trying to use the time wisely but #Ancestry keeps burping up the same hints over and over. I'm hoping to untangle Richardson and Galbraith, not just click ignore all night. #Genealogy
