Interlibrary loan makes possible all the book clubs that meet at my local library--we can get enough copies from around the state to meet club demand! Even our largest book club (30 members reading mysteries) can get enough copies. I 🩷 my library and ILL! #Reading #Library #Mysteries

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Helping a neighbor trace her family tree gave me a chance to sharpen my research skills, experience again the joy of fresh discoveries, and write a narrative that told the story as, well, a story to tell her story. climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/08/take...

Wow, what a story. First the photo in a newspaper, then the dog tag found in a field. Incroyable! #FamilyHistory

I appreciated seeing the original documents and the map too! #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Pretty smile and oh those long gloves!

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory My hubby's ancestor John Nelson, during the US Civil War, was in the Indiana 44th Regmt, a Union unit known as the "Iron Men" because they bravely fought on against all odds. And in some of the worst battles of that war too! climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/07/john...

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory Do you agree? Unsourced family trees = Genealogy Slop! climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/07/unso...

New Mexico #Mystery from my New England library!

This image is a beaut! #FamilyHistory

Agree...they can be "clues" but without sources, that's all they are. And the way unsourced ancestors spread from one tree to another, I feel they are slop, IMHO.

Yes, neighbor's family tree includes Bavarian-born Johannes who named his son the same--then son came to New York City and began using "John" on his #FamilyHistory documents. Easier to research!

#AncestryHour I do add #Ancestors to #WikiTree as another way of sharing my #FamilyTree beyond subscription sites--on a free platform where sources are expected, changes are documented, rarely do meddlers go crazy with ancestor nonsense. #Genealogy

Thanks to our Guests and Listeners for making this milestone possible! Happy listening!

Have you seen "The Center Seat" doc series about the beginnings and evolution of Star Trek? Enjoyed every episode! Great interviews and insider observations.

Lovely photos...big smiles plus pretty corsages, in fashion at that time!

#Genealogy #FamilyHistory In 2013 I added "ancestor landing pages" to my blog as #CousinBait, summarizing what I know about each family & linking to my posts about people. By now each pg has attracted thousands of views & some cousin connections! climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2026/07/ance...
