Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

One small piece of resistance I can do as a genealogist: continue to find/document/write & lecture about Holocaust survivors, POWs, the untold stories of women. #genealogy

I'm seeing too many similarities to the pandemic. Isolation, fear, conflict. I'm binge watching old TV shows & eating stuff I shouldn't. Anyone else?

There’s a small army of genealogists who identify unknown soldiers’ remains so they can be returned to their families. The draft dodger fired them. Call your congresspeople and make some noise for our fallen heroes. #nosoldierleftbehind

What does it feel too timely that my research is uncovering stories of those who survived concentration camps? It would be sobering on any given day. In present circumstances it feels.....too real. #genealogy

Hmm. Tracing Dutch refugees to the U.S. mid 50s. Have now uncovered a # who are listed at Yad Vashem with stories; & twin sisters who survived Westerbork & Bergen-Belsen. Not where I thought this project would take me. #genealogy

Cheap retail therapy: found a dress (could be used as a lightweight coat) for $4.99 (thrift store splurge). Checked it online & it currently sells for $310. I'm good with that.

This weekend of free access to newspapers . com has me frantically searching for more info on 100s of Dutch refugees who immigrated in the 1950s. Lecture & book chapter will be well sourced! #genealogy

I'm aways pleasantly surprised when documents from the late 1700s are legible. Not finding clues to the who/why of 4th GG's murder however. Unfortunately the only records in Bocholt Germany that might help can only be searched in person...sigh #genealogy

I don't know who murdered my 4th great grandmother - or why. But I just received a nicely researched story about the event based on the court reports. Oh, the fascinating stories of our ancestors we were never told 😀 #genealogy

If any of you are in the Phoenix area a fabulous new exhibition opened at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens: Toward 2050. You can walk the labyrinth of almost 5,000 pieces that address climate change. (My pieces are in the inner circle!!)
