The past few days I've been playing nonstop with the newly released @VirtualTreasury to come up with some tips for my Midwestern Roots presentation on how #familyhistorians can use this massive database, and I keep going down some wild rabbit holes. Totally geeking out!

Yesterday I gave my first in-person (and outdoor) presentation since the end of 2019, and it was a honestly a bit surreal. I also got rather sunburned during this presentation, but that's another story 😅

I’m going on my first vacation (that isn’t #research related or obligatory family visits) since probably 2014, and I can’t contain my excitement. My brain and my soul needs this vacation.
Our guest speaker for tomorrow's program will be someone who I am proud to say has a lifetime's worth of photography knowledge: my dad!
As genealogists, we should take a more proactive role in recording our family history as it happens, so this should be a fun program!
Every #family has precious moments they want to capture and preserve for the future. What better way to do that then to take a picture!
Join us online tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. EDT for your chance to ask a professional #photographer for tips & tricks to capture our #familyhistory

'Tis happening! For those that couldn't attend it the first time - this will be happening on July 26th 2022 at 2.30pm EST [7.30pm UK Time] and I'm giving the talk to the lovely people at @ACPLGenealogy. Register now so you don't miss it! acpl.libnet.info/event/66452…
For those that missed it the first time... I can confirm that "Building a Bridge Between Generations" will be given again in July... but where you might ask? More to follow when I get the registration link! 😁
ALT Three silhouettes. One of a bridge and a person on either side of the bridge, with presentation title at the top and author name at bottom.
As someone who is a bit morbid and fascinated by historic diseases, I am massively looking forward to participating in this virtual program tomorrow evening!
Join us tomorrow, 5/12 at 6:30 p.m. EDT where we will discuss one of the most important events in our ancestors' lives- their death. This will be an evening of #records, #diseases, and #history that you won't want to miss!

Picture this: It’s 3:15 am, I’m translating something from French to English because #insomnia, and I witness my neighbor’s parked car on the street get absolutely DESTROYED by a drunk driver.
I am definitely not going to be able to sleep…

My mom told me a weird story that has left me with more questions. The #1950census shows y g-g-grandmother, Winifred Crump, (a widow by 1950) living with some random 49 year old man from Honduras who is referred to as her “partner” and his 17 year old daughter. THREAD [1/5]

I asked my mom, who met Kent much later on, if she thought there had been a romantic relationship, and she said that when she met Kent she didn’t believe so since he had more children with his wife after she arrived in NOLA. But if it was romantic who are we to judge! [4/5]

Another fascinating layer to the story is that Kent’s daughter Sarah became my grandmother’s best friend.
I’m just happy that I had someone to ask to get more of the story! [5/5]

Well. After harassing my dad and aunt on and off throughout the day, I FINALLY found them on the #1950Census… in a completely different state than what they thought 😂. Yay for finding the Hodges clan with my dad’s grandparents in Florida!
