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.

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...

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!

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
There will be a lot of posts in a few days time with people sharing how much they achieved in 2024. But, in case someone needs to hear this… It’s okay if the only thing you did this year was get through it.

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.
