Glad I graduated in 2003. My ego could not endure the savage takes of the 1920s yearbook blurbs.

@TheJennyologist @APGgenealogy @ngsgenealogy I added extra time to when I told the client I would get to a project vs when I expected to start. This way I could deliver the project b4 the deadline or had a decent buffer to manage multiple projects if I got busy. Early communication w/client was key - most were ok w/waiting

Just finished up 2 projects #genealogy. Had thought I overextend myself. Now I'm itching to set up more but have two other projects to finish. How do you manage your project time so that your schedule is active yet you're not over-committed? @APGgenealogy @ngsgenealogy

@KeepMovingTara To go on the clock for BCG certification (for real this time).

What #genealogy resolutions are you making for 2023? #familyhistory #newyears #resolutions2023

@heathernowlan1 Congratulations! Well-deserved for all your hard work.

Very pleased to have received this today #ancestry #ancestryhour #FamilyHistory #AGRA #genealogy

@zbarchivist @UPittPress This is so exciting! Congratulations! I can’t wait to add it to my library!

@SlavicGen So true! The headstone of Andy Warhol’s mother (maybe one of the most famous Slovak Americans) also has an incorrect birth date. deepgenes.com/blog/2017/02/s…

Don't trust graves dates just because they're stone!

@TheJennyologist Yes. That would be my first guess.

@justinesherry Contacting the creator is good. When I did rights for the Warhol email confirmation was fine but some publishers are more cautious and wanted a signature. Do some Googling/reverse image searching to confirm no one else is claiming to be the creator. Maybe ask CMU libraries 4 help

@DigiRoots @nyfamilyhistory Sad to have missed this! Will you be giving it again? I was one of the lucky grad students tasked with loading up the American Institute of Deltiology’s postcard collection into the library van when it was donated to the University of Maryland. digital.lib.umd.edu/ntlpostcards

And then yesterday I got to give this talk for the very first time, at the @NYFamilyHistory Conference in Albany. Loved diving into one of my *very* favorite topics! #genealogy #deltiology #NYSFHC #postcards

@lissity Same here! Maybe we can find the common ancestor between Chase and Bluey.

And while we are at it, your ancestors' names weren't changed at Ellis Island!

@dave_andersen @andy_pavlo With the letters being in folders with names and date ranges, you're already in better shape than most archives I have worked at. Also, collection curation is a good thing - throw those check registers away! Hope everyone is on the mend, and you have easy travels back home.

@jmarms Count Dracula, Attorney at Law #JJHoCaseName (they can have any job)

#JJHo listeners: Want to help us name a case? Reply with your suggestion and use the tag #JJHoCaseName! The plaintiff says she can count to one million. The defendant says there is no way she can do it!

@jmarms Photographic Edit-offense #JJHoCaseName

#JJHo listeners: Want to help us name a case? Reply with your suggestion and use the tag #JJHoCaseName! The defendant asked the plaintiff to edit a photo he took of her for her birthday. But, she posted the unedited version on social media! He feels taken advantage of!

@justinesherry Nooooo! So sorry. Hope he recovers quickly! So angry about all the delays in the pediatric vax!

Welp, Tinyman got the Rona 😭

The work @Ancestry did to index the 1950 U.S. census so quickly was incredible, but the hint suggestions on the homepage sometimes make me laugh. Ah! I finally found the *checks hints* mother-in-law of my granduncle 🤷‍♀️ #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

@TheJennyologist @SkolonkoWeet Such an interesting find @TheJennyologist! After seeing @SkolonkoWeet's comment I can't see anything but Rose. Definitely not Mary because it looks nothing like the last entry on the page that is clearly Mary.

@SkolonkoWeet Stephie, I seriously can't believe I didn't realize it was Rose. @DeepGenes, I know other people thought it was Mary!

@lissity As I saw this in my Twitter feed a 2.5 year old leaned over my shoulder, pointed, and said "look garbage truck!" This picture made her evening. 😆

I want to be Reclaim The Records when I grow up! So excited for this.
