This classic advice is now two years old and still good; from Mollick's "Magic for English Majors" (2/23). #aigenealogy

My dear friend and colleague Robert Charles Anderson passed away yesterday. Bob was the finest scholar in the field of #Genealogy I had ever known. A library of knowledge is now gone, yet preserved in his scholarship with @americanancestors.bsky.social He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Family Day today in fantastic #BC #Canada so Grampa was busy. Great day. I must label this photo well eh #genealogy friends?

Royal Proclamation concerning the Nationak Flag of Canada (Ottawa Citizen, Feb 15, 1965)

Found a copy of the Ottawa Citizen from Feb 15, 1965 in my parent’s basement with Queen Elizabeth II proclaiming “a red flag of the proportions two by length and one by width, retaining in its centre a white square the width of the flag, bearing a single red maple leaf” to be Canada’s National Flag

Great speaker for #norway #scandinavian #genealogy workshop

one fun time wss free tickets for various draw prize boxes. prizes were like our society coffee cup mouse pad memory stick etc.

good point about community calendars. snd yes, a bigger event like a local history, heritage and famiky history fair. thanks for brainstorming.

my local society hosts a couple of open houses a year but we never put a concerted effort into getting media coverage. so the word doesn't get out well. usually attended by existing members only. how to make us interesting to journalists and easy to write about? make a media kit? what's that?

This #genealogy workshop should be on everyone's 'to take' list. thanks for developing it @makingfamilyhistory.com See you there!

Thanks for sharing @makingfamilyhistory.com #Norway #Scandinavia #genealogy #familyhistory

Quote from Erich Maria Remarque's, All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), reads, "It’s all rot that they put in the war-news about the good humour of the troops, how they are arranging dances almost before they are out of the front-line. We don’t act like that because we are in a good humour: we are in a good humour because otherwise we should go to pieces." Quote framed by "Welcome to the Public Domain" text and graphic.

Welcome to the public domain, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1929) by Erich Maria Remarque. This masterpiece's portrayal of the human cost of war is timeless.

Had a great conversation today with a public historian about how #genealogy can be used to document local history... and the ways we can make genealogy resources more accessible. Options included helping libraries establish FamilySearch affiliate status.

OMG, one of my FOIA requests that I made through @reclaimtherecords.org actually came back with an acknowledgment letter! And they will be able to send me a file!

This is the third request I made, btw. There's been nothing about the first, second, or fourth requests, from the same day. #genealogy
