Congratulations on the article. You spelled out clearly what responsible family historians should be doing with Find a Grave.

Not surprising. They have the possibility of doubling their original investment. Venture capital firms like Blackstone are generally less interested in actually operating a company than flipping it at a profit. The market is at an all-time high. I'm sure they're thinking it's time to sell.

Speakers’ Corner Β» Two Stories About Women in Our Families Β» Aryn Youngless and Bill Moore In this second episode in the series, Jennifer Jones is joined by Projectkin members Aryn Youngless and Bill Moore. Dismissed as β€˜witches’ or as simply β€˜the wife’ these women won't be forgotten.

Aryn Youngless and I were the guests of Jennifer Jones for her Speakers' Corner this afternoon at ProjectKin.substack.com. We had a great time discussing researching women in our ancestry. projectkin.substack.com/p/speakers-c... #Genealogy

I did after I clicked to see what it was. Sorry $5K a year is not going to happen. I'm guessing Ancestry's venture capital funders want more profit. I think Ancestry is the best genealogy site on the internet. But, it's not THAT great.

Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe the depravity of the Trump DOJ. I hope there will be a lot of pro bono attorneys lined up when the next Democratic administration comes in. There are going to be a lot of crimes to be prosecuted.

I'm not sure this is good news for genealogists. There's something about Anne I just don't trust.

That's only because his family didn't come to the US until after slavery was abolished. It's virtually impossible for anyone with family connections in the US prior to 1860 to avoid having a connection to an enslaver, an enslaved person, or both.

The chemicals used for photo printing in the 70s and 80s tend to yellow very quickly, especially if they're exposed to sunlight. Slides are a bit more durable. But all photos and slides should be restored, if necessary, and saved digitally to preserve the original look.

I’m hopeful that Regeneron will be able to get 23andMe under control. I think it’s a good sign that the former owner wasn’t able to raise enough to buy the company. Many of their problems started with her.

I would rate it 7/10. The T at the beginning is definitely different. Other letters are similar, but hard to tell if they’re identical due to the difference in width of the pen strokes.
