Have you ever wondered what it takes to have a genealogy blog? Whether amateur or professional, blogging is a great way not only to publish family information, but to find information from others. Lisa Lisson, author of the "Are You My Cousin?" blog, stopped by for a chat last year and told me all about it. Listen in and learn why blogging is good for your work, platforms, content, publication to social media, the use of mailing lists, and blogs that Lisa herself reads. She has a lot of terrific advice and information.

All About Blogs with Lisa Lisson

It's July 4th, and I'm feeling reflective about what patriotism means to me. I'm discussing my Patriot ancestors, the 29 (or so) men who participated in, or supported, the American Revolution.
What I've found is that patriotism isn't as simple as it seems. Please join me.

My DAR Patriots, July 4th and Me

At long last, a proper Zoom class! I'm holding my first class on September 5, 2021 at 3pm ET - cleaning trees in Ancestry, and the basics of FamilySearch, in order to get moving on transferring reparational trees (for those who want this service). I...

A Zoom Class, Simulcast on Clubhouse!

I have three things on my mind today, and all opportunities for sharing and growth:* Share an mp3 recording of an ancestor's story that you think is interesting, unique, creepy, or fun! I will edit it into the Halloween, Skelly Rellies episode of the podcast. Soft deadline is October 15, hard deadline is October 20.* Don't be a Jeffrey, part #9,237 - there's been some jackery-peggery and we need to nip that stuff in the bud.* Learn, teach, and serve the community by consecrating your talents and interest on Social Justice Sundays, during classes/work sessions I'm holding weekly on Sundays at 3pm ET on Zoom (with audio simulcast on Clubhouse). Contact me for meeting info - we were troll-bombed this week and that won't happen again!The magical season is upon us.

Skelly Rellies 2021: Bad to the Bone

2021 is definitely in the running for my least favorite year EVER! It has given me reason to reexamine what I'm doing, however, both with the podcast and with my own work. Join me for a list of thank-you's, and for an introduction of the quickest, easiest solution I've found so far to distractions, brick walls, and the genealogy blues - #BioADay2022. Let's join together to hold one another accountable as we actively learn more about our ancestors by generating and augmenting short (as in, 2-minute) biographies for ancestors using Ancestry with FamilySearch and WikiTree. 2022 is not going to start off as an easy year, but we can help one another through it together and get higher-quality research out of it as a squadron than we might flying solo.

Get Lost, 2021 - Hello, #BioADay2022!

Happy New Year, and welcome back to the post-champagne life! I have three recipes for you today, and each will appease your cheesecake cravings in different ways. The first is a traditional recipe from my mother's mother. The second is a Ricotta Cheesecake (or Ricotta Pie) from a local real estate agent, AnnaLisa Bossio. The last is one of my own creation that is small yet flexible, and can be made to suit many different allergies or special diets.

Family Cookbook - Cheesecake Past, Cheesecake Present, Cheesecake Future

Have you ever set a goal or {shudder} made a New Year's Resolution, and then not kept it? Yeah, you're allowed to look at me and point on that one. I am a terrible offender. But this year, I don't have a goal, or a resolution, I just have a hashtag....

News Bulletin! 4 Free African American Genealogy Seminars in February!

Here's another biography I developed on my quest to achieve one biography per day on my platform of choice, FamilySearch. With each ancestor, I always start with the auto-generated Life Story on Ancestry, copy it and paste it in the LifeStory field on FamilySearch. Then, I augment it with facts from census, vital, and other records, along with a little logical deduction thrown in for good measure. As I did before, I will read you the original from Ancestry and the final product on FamilySearch, complete with a list of sources. I hope that this inspires you to write a few biographies every month. It's the best way to come to understand the lives of our ancestors.Also, I'm no longer on Spotify. I explain that in the episode.Last, but absolutely not least, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!You can join my Facebook group - just be sure to answer the screening questions and agree to the house rules.Please follow my YouTube channel here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4tQI4aeIZfnqK4LRKTmplA) - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H (https://apple.co/2MLZW4H), or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy (http://facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy).If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm (https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm).Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com (http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/), IG @fppppodcast (https://www.instagram.com/fppppodcast/), Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast (http://twitter.com/fppppodcast) and @ancestorsalive (http://twitter.com/ancestorsalive)Sponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive (http://patreon.com/AncestorsAlive) for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.

BioADay2022 - Wiley Franklin Odom

Today's episode is a Family Cookbook episode that I've wanted to make for quite a while. It features two of my favorite foods from the area where I went to college (and where MANY of my ancestors lived for over a century) - Deep Fried Biscuits and Homemade Apple Butter, from Indiana. See the shownotes for the recipes.The part of the apple butter recipe that fascinates me is that my mother's mother would have gone through all of the boiling and sealing of jars as a child and teenager, basically the whole canning process, and by the time she died she was using a microwave.

The Family Cookbook: Deep Fried Biscuits and Homemade Apple Butter

Understanding the historical genesis and management of the decennial Federal Census, the digitization or "indexing" of the Census by FamilySearch, and the proper utilization of Census records in Ancestry is important to good Hygienealogy. And in Ancestry, Federal Census records don't always work the same way - some add all family members to your tree at once, while others only add one person at a time. So, why is that? And what ARE all of the origins of these records? I'll talk about that today in Hygienealogy 2: The Federal Census. You're going to want to listen to this one twice - once just to hear it, and another time in front of Ancestry so you can see the screens I'm describing. We're making up for lost time, folks!

From Paper To People

Hygienealogy 2: The Federal Census

Interview with Brooke Schreier Ganz of Reclaim the Records

I talk a lot about component parts, or the basic how-to's of handling records, but what about the how-to's of building one person's life in your family tree? Genealogy has become an immediate-gratification online phenomenon, but it's not always that at all. How long should a 21st-century online researcher be expected to wait before work is done on any one person in their tree? This episode takes on that question, and replies with my ongoing battle to complete details about one person - my great-aunt Clara's third husband, John Joseph Dalain. This story contains marriages, divorces, two murders, one attempted murder, some drunk driving, and just for some spice, a hog theft. It outlines the lives of some very hard-living people in 20th-century America, and the 44 years of work that my uncle and I have put in (well, 44 years and counting) to get the story of one man told. Strap in - there's a lot of procedure here, but there's also a lot of gothic tragedy and scandalous fun!

How To Build a Life - John Joseph Dalain

Are you familiar with Genealogy Adventures? You should be. They are two cousins (both cousins of mine, actually) who interview different guests about different topics on a weekly basis. This is the audio of our Sunday, October 13th interview about Reparational Genealogy (http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/reparational-genealogy/), and we had a lot of fun while having some serious discussions, as well.You can find them on Facebook at facebook.com/genealogyadventuresusa (http://facebook.com/genealogyadventuresusa), where this video is available and where the Facebook Live transmission was SUPPOSED to happen (FB Live had a little nervous breakdown). You can also find their broadcasts live weekly on Listen Vision Live (listenvisionlive.com), and stored on their YouTube channel at Genealogy Adventures Live (https://www.youtube.com/user/GenealogyAdventures). If you watch live, Sundays at 4pm Eastern, you can ask questions and leave comments. They're also available on Twitter at @genealogadvent (http://twitter.com/genealogadvent), on Instagram @genealogyadventures (https://www.instagram.com/genealogyadventures/), and their website is genealogyadventures.net (https://genealogyadventures.net/). Donya and Brian are knowledgeable practitioners who are also open to teaching and learning new things - precisely the kind of people this world needs. And remember, Skelly Relly (http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/podcast-episode-210-share-your-skelly-rellies/) recordings are due on October 26th. Time is running out!

My Interview on Genealogy Adventures

This episode is directed primarily toward European-American Mormons, but no matter what, you will get something out of it. I discuss the Mormon Law of Consecration and how I apply it to family history work and working with others; the differences between African-American and European American genealogy; and the specific case of my research on a reparational tree for Recy Corbitt Taylor and anyone who may search out her family.

Consecration, Recy Thomas and African-American Genealogy, or Reparational Genealogy

This episode is super-sized, because the topic is that important: racism in genealogy and the new AncestryDNA policy that will eliminate all matches below 8cM for all users. I mention the multiple hacks and security breaches on genealogy and DNA websites within the past week, too. But more than anything, this episode allows my cousin, Brian Sheffey, to discuss his experience with multi-ethnic DNA matches and finding evidence of the identities of white ancestors among free black and enslaved ancestors in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This is why I am upset about Ancestry's tone-deaf policy - it will wreak havoc on research among a population that already suffers from a comparative dearth of records or limited access to the documentary record. It also has the potential to affect those researching remote foundlings, adoptees and other unknown parentage cases. I believe that the decision Ancestry has made is evidence of the lack of diversity among their management and leadership, something that Ancestry's CEO promised to change when he voiced support for Black Lives Matter on June 3rd. Listen, learn, and make up your mind about the subjects we discuss.

Interview with Brian Sheffey about AncestryDNA

I don't know how to introduce this - I GOT TO INTERVIEW MICHAEL TWITTY!!! 
We talked for so long that I was able to break the discussion into two episodes. This is part one, in which we talk DNA and how it doesn't serve Black researchers, writing as a protection of memory the ultimate smallness of the world, human interconnectedness, and many aspects of Blackness as they relate to power and powerlessness - ultimately, finding the power in self-knowledge, including the ugly stuff. please let me know what you think, and after this ep, listen for the next one - that will be part two of this amazing discussion.
