ACPL is one of my fave #Genealogy libraries anywhere in part because of the open stacks and ability to wander through looking at books and resources. #GenChat A3. I found some great biographical info for hubby's ancestors in the alphabetized genealogies.

Looks like a lively reunion too and I love your idea of sharing copies of old photos with the family at this time and place. You are keeping alive the memory of ancestors in so many ways. #GenHour

Hi Jane! #GenHour #Genealogy I'm fleshing out bite-sized bios of military veterans from my family tree & hubby's family tree to reflect where/when they served. It's leading to a few new research discoveries, nothing gigantic but interesting.

Hi Liz! #GenHour What's new with you? I've been checking my ancestors' Find a Grave memorials to be sure those who served in the military are designated with the V for veteran. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

No significant changes to my DNA estimates #GenHour but my husband has more granularity in his estimates for European roots. Still not enough to help with specifics for, say, Irish roots when county not known. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory
