I took Jan Joyce's Document Workshop and got a lot out of it—great prep before going on the clock. She’s holding another this September: learn, prepare, and practice the BCG Doc Work element. Includes 2025 requirements, examples, instruction, daily practice.

Day 1 #RootsTech Excited for #Genealogy learning! Let’s remember to welcome our International friends, especially our near neighbors north and south of the border. Some feel unwelcome because of the current administrations threats. Let them know you care!

I’m here in Vermont. I’m going to a protest tomorrow to tell Vance he’s a fucking tool. Please give me good signage content. Many folks who work at the mountain think they might be fired tomorrow if they don’t comply with directives. Send them some love. #SugarbushSkiandRide #lifties #fuckyouvance.

This is a deliberate insult to historians. Trump’s furious at being excluded from an elite club he imagines exists. In reality, it’s just a research library. He looks like a petulant child craving attention. That’s just sad. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Trump is targeting the Archives.
“The president believes the National Archives provided information to the Department of Justice on the classified documents case against him.”
Call your senators and reps. Protect the independence of our archives!

Just finished a report for a client in an area I typically don’t research. It was fun learning new record groups and reading social #history & economic journal essays about this time, place, and people—which is my favorite part and how I got into genealogical work in the first place. #genealogy
