Instead of falling into a cesspool of stress and worry, I’m starting off focusing on emotional and spiritual health with an amazing shamanic healer, and my physical health with a fantastic physical trainer. 🧘 #lessonslearnedfrom45

I’m presenting a series of classes for my local society on using Google mapping tools for genealogy research. Have you used Maps, Earth (web), or Earth Pro? If so, have they helped you to break through a brick wall or answer a research question?

I laugh when I think about my 15-year-old self’s reaction to receiving this as a birthday gift. I deeply appreciate and love it now! #genealogy #writing

Gable fell asleep in mid-chew. 🥰

Spent today with the men in my house doing good works at the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society library moving microfilm cabinets and shelving for an expansion project. 🥰

A Thanksgiving tradition: pie with coffee the next morning because we were too full last night.

It’s that time of year—pumpkin pie with vodka pie crust

Continuing the arduous genealogical task of determining the ancestral lines of William Thurman (abt 1783-1861) of Franklin Co, TN. I’ve looked at so many Thurman/Thurmond/Turman families that I’m thinking I need to commit to a surname and migration study. 😳

Thank you, Bluesky community. I just made the switch from Goodreads to The Story Graph. The stats page confirmed my suspicions for this year—top genres are memoir and history.

Hello! New here and hoping to connect with the genealogy community and fellow knitters/spinners/weavers. My current projects include working on my CG and knitting a lace shawl. 🤓 Since no introduction post is complete without a pet photo, meet Gable and Roxy.
