Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Favorite RootsTech Connect 2021 Moment, Experience, Session, Feature

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1) Did you attend the free and virtual RootsTech Connect 2021 this week? What was your favorite moment, experience, session, and/or feature?

2) Put it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post. Please leave a link in a comment to this post.

Yes, I did attend RootsTech Connect this week.

1) My favorite "moment" was finding out that RootsTech Connect website was live.

2) I couldn’t attend the Desktop Diner yesterday, but there was a genchat on Twitter on Friday about RootsTech Connect. I pitched in for a few questions.

3) It’s a bit hard to choose a favorite session since I have so many to watch. But, I really enjoyed African American Genealogy: Getting Past The 1870 Brick Wall and Finding Orphans and Their Records series.

4) I really liked the My Playlist feature. When a session title seems intriguing, then I can click the white “add” button For example, when I search “start your genealogy business” is doesn’t come up in the results.

Thank you to RootsTech and FamilySearch team for making this virtual event happen.

Thanks for reading,

Vestal (Images of America) - Book Review

This is the first edition of "What's NEW in my Bookshelf?" Recently, I received a book called Images of America-Vestal by Vestal's town historian, Margaret Hadsell. Here are my personal thoughts on the book. Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1. Prehistoric Vestal 2. Vestal 3. Ross Corners 4. Tracy Creek 5. Twin Orchards 6. Vestal Center 7. Willow Point 8. Mile Wide Summary The book mainly shows photos of prominent settlers and locations around the town of Vestal. It briefly mentions pre-Vestal and the families, churches, schools, businesses, etc. within parts of Vestal. Evaluation I liked how the author inserted plat maps into the book. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a section of the entire map in which part of it will be "zoomed in" on specific areas of Vestal. I was a bit disappointed with this book because I expected more context, though I did love ...

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's Saturday Night - time for more Genealogy Fun! Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to: 1) We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research. 2) Which ancestors would you like to talk to? What questions would you ask? 3) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. There are so many ancestors I would love to talk to, but I will only list my top 5 ancestors. 💗 1) My first choice would be my great-grandmother, Clara Loretta Scott Armstead (1904-1998). I would ask her what her biological mother's name is, the reasoning behind why her brothers were placed in an orphanage, and why her ex-husband, Anthony Tony Armstead, was abusive toward her sons and possibly ...
