True. At least when they use a map as a picture, you know it's not the ancestor--or at least you should ;-)

If use AI to create a picture of an ancestor to use an illustration in a post about that ancestor, should you indicate that the picture was created by AI? It seems to me like you should. #genealogy

What did you do with these if you had some? I kept people I knew and got rid of vacation photos and non-people shots unless I knew the location. You cannot keep it all #genealogy

Thoughts on the stuff I have in my #genealogy totes. Saving, digitizing, and the like. The text of the image is in our posting at genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

You can't save every card you ever received. I've digitized ones with #genealogy significance and kept few for sentimental reasons...including these two from my grandmothers.

Got these that aren't your family? Consider posting them to #findagrave, #familysearch big ol' tree, or other online trees as a way to preserve them. #genealogy

Wasn't expecting that. #genealogy

Been a long time since the bulk of my #genealogy notes were handwritten. But back in the day not all microfilm readers would print. Paper and pencil were what we used.

Decided to use "migration streams" instead of "migration chains" in my #genealogy work. genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

Need a picture of the school your ancestor attended? Do #genealogy societies, historical societies, local libraries and the like have graduation announcements or yearbooks? They may have them.

#genealogy is always about what you don't know--and sometimes we don't even know it.

A few quick reminders about digital images. #genealogy genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

Very possibly.

Sometimes we have to use what could be unreliable. #genealogy genealogytipoftheday.com/index.php/20...

Not certain what happened to this picture, but at least I got a ditigal copy made of it. #genealogy

Excited to be focusing on common names in full-text search. More details about our October #genealogy presentation here conta.cc/3JUQnCh

Do you have weather-related pictures in your #genealogy collection? This one is from Illinois in the 1970s.

Always thought that all the white boxes in the ThruLines at AncestryDNA came from my actual tree. Apparently the relationships do not. The white box people are in my tree, but I do not have Trientje H as the daughter of F Lichtsinn as shown here. Urgh. #genealogy

The things they don't tell you when you ask relatives questions about the #genealogy.

Sometimes you can draw a map for #genealogy purposes by hand. Not everything needs to be fancy schmancy or done with AI. This is for an upcoming issue of my Casefile Clues newsletter.

A cookie recipe contains coconut which could reasonably be left out? Is the cookie like #genealogy proof where some ingredients you need and others can be left out without ruining the proof?
