OK, I'm getting tired & I need to do this again tomorrow on Mastodon! Peace out for now, but you'll see an occasional informational post from this account & of course stuff from my personal account! #genchat

Our little troll! Well, him & "Save FindaGrave" who was not toxic, just really annoying. #genchat

I'm wondering if it was at #genchat that Amy & Jenna started up with the cardigan talke...but I believe they were backlashing at a critic of genealogists.

I'll be sure to spread the word on Mastodon, too. #genchat

So I invite all my fellow #GenChat peeps to take a look at Genealogy SE, to read the help, and think about how using a problem-focused approach can help your #genealogy research. If it's too nerdy for you to join, I get it, but you can still use the Q/A format as a framework for forming your Q.

My #genchat participant tracker from 2018. I've been keeping them since Feb 2018.

#genchat certainly has paved the way for connections on other platforms and at conferences!

You weren't too late; you started shortly after Liam & I started co-hosting. I can probably look it up, even! #genchat

I just want to thank all the #genchatters past & present on Twitter, Mastodon & Bluesky. These past 13 years could not have happened without your collaboration, passion for #genealogy, welcoming spirit and friendship. You’ve made #genchat one of the best spots on social media.

A5 #genchat Keep sharing what you've learned, whether in person, on social media, in your blog, etc.
