I figured I would introduce myself as others are doing.
As it says in my bio I am a #Genealogist , Semi-Retired #Comicbook Enthusiast, and a #Cyclist. What it doesn't say is that I am a life long #Pittsburgher. My day job is in Office Management/Admin. The rest of the time is spent on #Genealogy.

He set forth an Executive Order to wipe Black history & artifacts from the

Absolutely losing my sh*t over this. Too many people are spreading misinformation with their full chests. People who actually understand this are saying we need to wait and see. There's no reason to panic right now, and your DNA isn't additionally "at-risk." #23andme

What aspect of #genealogy makes you the craziest, but in a good way. For me I think it's #endogamy. And not #DNA but when you are working the paper trails and you find that oh this person married some close relationship (blood or not)

Death records are not always accurate. Sometimes you will see a birth date occurring after the death date. #genealogy #facepalm
