I’m hoping to learn more about Y DNA testing this weekend! Some interesting speakers lined up for our local Family History Society Conference. I wonder if my brother would do it??#genhour

I guess .tiff is best format? I did start off with jpegs until I learned about .tiff! Will eventually go back and redo some of the jpegs! I store on an external SSD and in the cloud.

I’m not an expert. I take a pic of the album pages then carefully remove the photos. I scan them, put each in an archival sleeve, number them and put in an archival shoebox. The shoeboxes can hold a LOT of photos. Saves a lot of space!

Makes sense. I’m discovering that. I’m pretty sure someone I am trying to trace most likely changed their name (maybe after being adopted?) plus moved from England to Newfoundland in 1820s. Still hoping to find a thread in a maritime record. So kind of you to reply to me, thanks.

As a newbie to the genealogical world I don’t understand your statement about looking for the wrong name. Any clarification appreciated!

Hi! I’m not exactly sure what a #genhour chat is but thanks for the comment above. I was reviewing some of my prior work and I sure made mistakes/omissions etc but spotting them tells me my work is improving!

Liked your talk! Incredibly complex aspects of researching in England and Wales. So much to learn.

Thank you so much for your talk this evening. It was very informative for me. I will certainly be putting some of your strategies into practice in the hopes that I can break through at least one of my “brick walls”!
