Most of the time, I'm adding cousins & ancestors to my genealogy tree. However, sometimes... I need to do a little pruning of the FTM tree too. I need to get my FTM file back to syncing with Ancestry before RootsTech. That way, I can get back to solving DNA cousin matches, etc. #genealogy #pruning

I need to figure out a solution to get my Family Tree Maker file to sync back with Ancestry before RootsTech. This happened a few years ago. I'm determined to fix it by RootsTech! Backups are a good thing. Yet, tech issues still can happen. I will get it fixed this weekend! #genealogy #RootsTech

Last weekend, I added a ton of ancestors to my family tree file in FTM. I sync regularly & often with Ancestry. Unfortunately, I had one potential ancestor somewhere that is "sticky" & it broke my sync connection to Ancestry. I've done all the steps, compact, backup, re-upload. Fails to sync. #ftm

Our ancestors fought with their lives for separation of Church & State! We must fight to keep our Democracy, US Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc. The power is with the people! My freedom says I have the right to watch this interview. If I lived in TX again, I'd vote JT!

Just saw a comment that seems reflective of the US history happening in real-time... I can't take full-credit, but I modified it a bit... "The current US Gov't makes Watergate & every other scandal look like Alice in Wonderland’s picnic with Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Dormouse, March Hare, & Lizard!"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I've never used or created a TikTok account. It's exposed that it's clearly state-controlled. Let's expose truth in every way possible. I won't support these companies any longer.

Our US Constitution & Democracy is worth protecting! It's time to choose what side of history you'll be associated with. Alex Pretti was holding his cell phone & helping a woman. Alex was executed for that & will be recorded into the history books of this moment. #democracy

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

A few genealogical goals for 2026 are:
1) Solve more DNA cousin matches
2) Find more DNA cousin matches
3) Solve more DNA cousin match groups
4) Use DNA as a core-proof piece to support genealogical evidence
5) Find more genealogical proof for DNA cousin matches

Switcharoo! Yes, Inequality is the root of our economic woes! Its growth is exponentially too fast. The math equations are out of control & balance. The wealthy aren't paying their fair share. Money has to go back into the flow cycle or financial ruin is coming. #Inequality

AI is a Wild West of unbridled chaos... I've loved tech since I was a kid. There are many things that I wouldn't have been able to do without AI computing. We, the people, have to put the "πŸ’° gangs" in check & checkmate πŸ›‘ those that are serving AI to us in a destructive way.

Private Equity strip-mines for their own profits. Math-wise, it's unsustainable in many destructive ways for people's future. The P.E. greedy solution isn't a solution! Enact taxation & penalties on these bad practices by private equity to expose the undesirable mob crooks.
