I have discontinued my Patreon in favor of growing my YouTube channel, but I’m still playing catch-up here. I’ll post videos every few days. It would be a great support to my work if you would subscribe, like, tap the bell for notifications, and say or ask something in the comments.

The Uvalde and Buffalo Victims Were EXPLOITED on Find-a-Grave. Please Sign the Petition

Posted on 12 June 2022 By Carolynn ni Lochlainn

The exploitation of murdered adults and children for personal glorification by “grave collectors” (or ghouls) in the Buffalo and Uvalde shooting massacres are the tip of a very ugly iceberg in today’s genealogical circles. Find-a-Grave is haunted with ghouls. These ghouls are breaking multiple guidelines AND Federal copyright law, but Find-a-Grave and parent company Ancestry … Read More “The Uvalde and Buffalo Victims Were EXPLOITED on Find-a-Grave.

Here’s another biography I developed on my quest to achieve one biography per day on my platform of choice, FamilySearch. With each ancestor, I always start with the auto-generated Life Story on Ancestry, copy it and paste it in the LifeStory field on FamilySearch. Then, I augment it with facts from census, vital, and other … Read More “PODCAST Ep 504: BioADay2022 – Wiley Franklin Odom” »

Have you ever set a goal or {shudder} made a New Year’s Resolution, and then not kept it? Yeah, you’re allowed to look at me and point on that one. I am a terrible offender. But this year, I don’t have a goal, or a resolution, I just have a hashtag. A THING, if you … Read More “PODCAST Ep 502: BioADay2022 – Calvin Walker” »
