Little mini vacation this weekend that has been a fantastic break from all going on in life and the world. Very needed refresh.
Perfect little Valentines lunch for me and Karen - they gave us a table for two with the view - while the boys went snowboarding. Winter in wine country is lovely.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

As a genealogist, family historian and keeper of the past, I am gutted to see the National Archivist Colleen J. Shogan, was fired. No reasoning. No cause. No explanation. It's clear the path being taken and I am beyond disgusted. We must protect the National Archives and the millions of records.

One difficulty in locating records is the many different places they could be. A family bible was considered a certified source, as many did not register births, or get birth cert. This was the official declaration for my G Grandfathers birth, when he needed proof of age later in life #genealogy

BlueSky #newbie question :
Is there a way to bookmark or save peoples posts?
I am seeing so many posts with articles, links, events etc that I am interested in and would like to come back to later.
So far I've been screencapturing them, but that is far from ideal, lol.

The remains of Rockledge Jane Doe have been undergoing genetic genealogy since 2019, and the DNA Doe Project is now appealing for people with familial links to Anson County, North Carolina to upload their DNA to GEDmatch, Family Tree DNA or DNA Justice. #Genealogy
In 1980, police recovered the remains of a woman who had identified herself as Joanne English, which was a false name. She had family roots in Anson County, North Carolina and had been living in the Clearwater area of Florida. Read more here:

Does anyone have good resources/knowledge they can pass along for id'ing and dating old photos? Lucky enough to have an old album, belonged to my GG Grandparents, and only 3 photos are labeled.
I have carefully scanned and organized, trying to id them.
