If you hear about the war with Iran and Israel, knowing lots of innocent people will die, and you feel excitement because you think it means Jesus is about to rapture you to heaven, your theology is trash and you need to check your cold heart.

#genchat is tomorrow! What #genealogy software do you use/like? Online or desktop? Any non-genealogy software that you adapt for genealogical use? We’ll talk at about it!
Well, we've come to the end of another #genchat . Thanks for all your tips & ideas for military research! Next time (May 23) we'll have an Open Mic on Genealogy Software. This can be very broad! Hope to see you all there.

I'm applying for a fellowship to do on-site research. I need three references from the #genealogy community. I have my proposal ready, and the deadline is approaching. I am incredibly uncomfortable asking, but I'm taking the risk! Feel free to message me privately.

#Genealogy friends, I'm applying for the Missouri State Archives and the Friends of the Missouri State Archives "Show-Me" Genealogy Fellowship to do onsite research related to Uncle Bud Ray. I need three references from the genealogy community to submit with my application. Who should I ask?

Don't forget to update the file format of those old files. Might even be a good idea to read and review what's on them. I started transcribing documents on #wordstar back in the day. #genealogy

BREAKING: We're suing to block a new Utah law that allows courts to strip people with disabilities of their civil rights without due process.

This law would allow a guardian to isolate the disabled person from their loved ones. Guardianships should be made less restrictive, not more.

#Genealogy question:

I've been trying to group my DNA matches on Ancestry, but some of my mom's paternal first cousins share three of her four grandparents, as they are/were my maternal grandmother's half-siblings. How do you suggest I group them/their shared matches?
