Going to need new shirts. Our ones from several years ago are threadbare at this point.

These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in

Morning, Hank! Longtime follower on YT. AASL is how I heard about it. Hoping for a place to connect with colleagues and professional accounts without the unfettered hate speech. A place to share my photography, genealogy & librarian content. What are you hoping to find?

Very much looking forward to the new update. The AI reports look promising

Understanding Cousin Relationships โ€” The Family Anthologist My cousin Candida is very interested in family history, but has one pet peeve - she hates the term โ€˜removedโ€™. Itโ€™s common to have her chime in, โ€œstop removing people!โ€ when discussing how we are first...

Since we just had dinner with my cousin Candida last night, I thought I'd share my post on cousin relationships she inspired.

We've always heard about Lyman Orchards, but had never been there. Mention that they were hosting Connecticut Valley Siberian Husky Club and we had to go for the day. The day started with a bit of snow, gorgeous pups and their generous families who let everyone get their fill of hugs.
