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.

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” »

I talk a lot about component parts, or the basic how-to’s of handling records, but what about the how-to’s of building one person’s life in your family tree?

There are a lot of ways that we can serve one another in the world of family history. I like direct service the best. Researching for one another, teaching others, and giving back to those who deserve to have their family repaired or at least explained is very important to me.
