Did you miss my recent talk to Allen County Public Library, "Ship Manifests and Oaths of Allegiance: Finding the Origin Stories of 19th Century Immigrant Families." Tune in for tips for research into #immigration and #naturalization. #genealogy #familyhistory #ancestry #history #PureMichigan

Thankful to (apparently) be in the "holy crap I think this is working" phase of self-employment. #genealogy #familyresearch #ancestry

It’s just wild how regulations are mostly there for a valid reason. It’s like, if there’s a sign telling people not to do it, someone did that.

Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

We all wanted to chip in on a gravestone for Jim. He was an upright, hard-working member of our community, and we honor him even though he lived among us just a short time. Anyone catch Jim’s last name while he was with us? #genealogy #familyhistory #michigan #cemeteries

People crap on LLMs, but I used one over the last few weeks to help me build a wicked dashboard for my #genealogy business. It includes client tracking, account register, bank reconciliation, profit and loss, cash flow statement, and mileage. Much added value, and easy to keep up now it’s live.

Started blocking accounts that only post meme photos dunking on this or that Thing To Be Mad About (TM). Probably just bots anyway. Improves my feed and my mood.

I don’t usually see this type of passive-aggressive advice to the next generation on a stone. George Spencer Sr., d. 1911: “He paid his debts and was four square with everyone. He was a good dad. It will be fortunate for you son if you are like him.” Like, don’t mess up the family name, junior.

New evidence clashing with your claims? Maybe it's time to revise your theory of the case. simplyv2.com/2026/07/16/g... #genealogy #familyresearch #ancestry #FamilyHistory #puremichigan

Came across this gem of a litho ad in an 1880s Detroit city directory today. Just a stunner. #genealogy #history #Detroit

Celebrating little #genealogy breakthroughs. I’m following a township parcel over time for clues to the fate of a 5g gf William Lynch. On an 1897 map, a Lizzie Edwards is on the parcel. Then it clicks: I had a theory William’s daughter Elizabeth married an Edwards. Pieces fit, need more of them.

A sister killed by her brother. The children run for help, but it's too late. Click through to read a grim tale of murder on the outskirts of #Detroit in the 1860s. #genealogy #ancestry #familyresearch #history #puremichigan

The secret to that genealogical riddle is *always* held by a neighbor three doors down. I just never know on which side or in which year.

Genies, I hope your research uncovers something cool today. #genealogy #ancestry #familyresearch #history

This kid was fascinating. Would make a hell of a movie.

Remembering the Maine: A Michigan Soldier’s Story While Charles H. Barber's service as a wagoner in the Spanish-American War lasted just a few months, it became a defining part of his life. https://simplyv2.com/2026/08/30/remembering-the-maine-a-michigan-soldiers-story/

Can a German genealogist answer this question. Why are church records reported in both the Catholic and Lutheran church? My ancestors were Catholic, but they also appear in Lutheran church records. Thank you in advance.

It’s so satisfying to finish a #genealogy project and report for a client, particularly when it proves the hell out of a proof of descent.

An argument for honoring Mitch’s memory.

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

And maybe learn the names of your grandparents while you’re at it. From the death certificates I see where adult children are informants, it’s clear many people don’t know their grandparents’ names.

Giving a #genealogy talk later today for the Allen County Public Library, 2:30 EST. Join me as we explore our #immigrant ancestors’ origin stories.

Oh good--a sensitive treatise on the subject of immigration. I'm sure this won't be cringey. Detroit Free Press, May 20, 1906.

At a local county clerk’s office this morning for a vital record and the helpful woman at the counter recognized me. “Aren’t you that genealogist?” Yes, that’s me. #genealogy #ancestry #familyresearch

I don’t have a document for this 1867 birth, but I think I’m getting to a strong circumstantial case. #genealogy #familysearch #ancestry #history

Expect to drop a new family history story tomorrow after a fresh-eyed review. Not a murder this time, but still pretty grim. Promise I’ll find some lighter tales to intersperse. #genealogy #ancestry #familyresearch #history #puremichigan

Any folks out there used the Pocket voice recorder? Interested in first-hand reviews.

Same. I keep thinking I’ll get to the final boss of research problems and defeat him, but at this point I probably have several levels of the game to go.

My ThruLines will be thankful if you do 😎

Just logged in to Ancestry and got a new ThruLines page. I have to say, it makes a good first impression. I guess this is part of the redesigns I've seen people mentioning recently. #ancestry #genealogy #familyresearch

What a lovely family artifact.

A bit of a true-crime genealogy for your mid-week. #genealogy #ancestry #puremichigan #familyresearch #history
