I got all excited about a "new" DNA match, and then it turned out to be one of my first cousins. *yawn*

I joined my local society for the camaraderie! I don't have any family history in this area, but I definitely have common research interests with the group, plus we can talk about deeds, wills and cemeteries without anyone's eyes glazing over!

Yes! Irish baptism records from 1790's-1840's! These priests had terrible handwriting, and some of the books are faded or nearly illegible. But I persist...

This is how it starts, and then one day you notice they have taken over. But I'm not mad about it at all.

Of course, that's what they're saying... but we know better. (sorry, I've been bingeing on your podcast and I'm mildly obsessed with the time machine)

Did they use the *secret* time machine from @familyhistpod.bsky.social - I heard that's how we got Charlemagne's DNA.

I live in Mikie Sherrill's district, and I was shocked to see that she had gotten more calls than Smith (my parents' rep). My dad is more of a "stern letter writer" but I told him he has to call!

Just pestered my dad to call his rep, one of a handful of Rs in NJ. He's in a red district, so he hasn't gotten many calls - poor guy is probably lonely. 😂

I got into bed the other night and ripped a hole in the fitted sheet! Same reaction, despite the near-continuous use and regular washing for years. The nerve!

Where did you find the name? That's so cool. I spent all day working on my house history project. I met some wonderful people in the county records department - made my day.

I used to spend hours on the phone when I was a teenager, drove my parents crazy. Of course, I'm old enough that it was a land line with like a 20' cord that was always a tangled mess.
