I've been enjoying using the clipping feature on NewspaperArchive by Storied as of late. Today is the anniversary of my grandmother's death in 2006 and I added the clipping from her obit to my family history archive; also @wikitree.bsky.social & FamilySearch Family Tree profiles. RIP grandma! 💔

Love a little profile bling! I'm starting to add these genealogy labels from Black Pearls of Genealogy onto my online genealogy work. This is one I've just added to a profile I'm working on at @wikitree.bsky.social and FamilySearch.

Speaking of BillionGraves - this is a visual representation of many of the headstones I've photographed at a historic black cemetery in Nashville. I am very much wanting to get back and take more! #genealogy #gravesites

The BillionGraves team had a monument company bring actual headstones to their booth at RootsTech so demos could be done on how to use the app - ha! Read more in their blog post recap blog.billiongraves.com/billiongrave.... Pretty cool. I LOVE using this app to take GPS-tracked headstone photos!

Steve Little's presentation on Generative AI for #RootsTech is a must-watch! www.familysearch.org/rootstech/se.... I enjoy using these tools SO MANY WAYS for genealogy and he gives a very helpful overview! @digitalarchivst.bsky.social #NotAtRootsTech

Crista Cowan talked about the Ancestry Networks earlier today and I love that they are making this offering!

I neeeeed to know more about Ancestry Networks as hinted to in an email I received! Should be announced today! #NotAtRootsTech

Day 1 of RootsTech! More to discover and more to learn! Will post as I have time! #NotAtRootsTech

RootsTech sessions - some videos are live and I've just watched the keynote of Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela. Beautiful message and memories of his grandfather! Did you watch it yet? #NotAtRootsTech

It's time for RootsTech!! I'm not there this year but will be posting over the next several days about it! So excited! What are you looking forward to? #Notatrootstech

now listening to archivist Gratia Stother, talking about how to navigate Methodist church records. She describes Francis Asbury's role - interesting to learn as there's a connection to Asbury in the history of one of the churches where my ancestors worshipped. #genealogy

In this webinar about court records, Chuck Sherril describes the WPA-created transcripts of county court records. These are a great resource in the Tennessee State Library & Archives' collection. They are not always perfect, but can be a good place to start! #genealogy

Middle Tennessee Genealogical Society seminar starts with Chuck Sherrill talking about Tennessee land grants #genealogy

Breakfast with hubby ✅ Next up? A day of genealogy education at the annual seminar of the Middle Tennessee Genealogical Society. Then tonight, movie with hubby, plus work on my genealogy projects, including an article about using Notion (my fav productivity tool ever!)

What are y'all doing today?

The very first place I ever called home, in Bronx, New York where my parents brought me home as a baby. Do you have a photo of your first home? #GenealogyPhotoADay prompt #House #MemoryKeeping #FamilyPhotos
