This week's 52 Ancestors post on Origins. Come read about my Ohio roots and a new project I'm starting this year. thepatchworkgenealogist.wordpress.com/2024/01/12/52-… #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ohio

The Patchwork Genealogist is up and running again thanks to a rather optimistic New Year's Resolution (and the completion of the first draft of my novel). Check out my welcome back post, the first installment of #52Ancestors, themed #FamilyLore. thepatchworkgenealogist.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/52-…

I'm not saying some anonymous dude #mansplained my novel to me. But he did. For the record, I #write #LitFic and some of it is semi-stream-of-consciousness - there is neither murder nor adultery in my #novel. At least I can confirm my #TargetAudience

My 8 year old: Family trees are confusing! Where's the bottom, anyway? 🤣🤣🤣 #FamilyTree #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

The #MainCharacter in my #novel is named Rabbie, short for Robert. #AutoCorrect insists it is Rabbi. This makes my novel something entirely other and I do not like it. #WriterProblems

@MarianBWood Thank you so much!

If I've been noticeably absent lately, and it seems like my #WomenOfLegacy #quilt project has stalled - it's because I've been madly working on my United in Ohio blue and gray wall hanging. #SoClose #IMadeThat #HandPiecing

@DeeLawDeeLaw Oh thank you!

@PatchworkGenea That is so gorgeous, so well done! You're very talented! 👍

Oh my heart is happy now!

@gene_alogy Ah! This is relevant. My Hodde ancestors. Immigrated from Germany, lived long enough to have a baby in Cincinnati and then... *poof* GONE.

Honestly how can someone just DISAPPEAR!? (I scream into my computer about 6 times a year.)

Any #Genealogists researching #FamilyHistory in #Ecuador (specifically #Ambato)? Give me your best hints, especially if travel to Ecuador isn't an option. I can't even find birth or death years for my husband's grandparents! #ResearchHelp

@TheRegencyCook I prefer tea leaf, which always seems to taste more fresh. For convenience I do use t-sac bags, especially at the office - easy clean up, fresh loose leaf flavor.

Teabag or tea leaf? One is easy but perhaps less tasty, the other is messy but maybe provides more flavour. Which is your favourite way to drink tea? Teabag or loose-leaf tea? Do let me know. p.s. Indulge with me in tea at my next online class here: bit.ly/TakingTea2023

@TheRegencyCook It is a true miracle what can be accomplished with a bit of flour, butter and sugar!

@PatchworkGenea Partial to a good shortbread myself. I’m half Scottish so it must be in my blood to like it ;)

Which FOODS go well with a cup of tea? I'm partial to a teacake. Not a cake at all but a sweet bread roll, with dried fruit, often toasted. Which food do you like with your cup of tea? Let me know. p.s. For a class on Tea, food & history look here: bit.ly/TakingTea2023

It's a #Scotland sort of morning. Heather Tea from Edinburgh #Tea & Coffee Co, some work on an 1817 Scottish #sampler and a listen to one of my favorite #audiobooks - #Clanlands by @SamHeughan and @grahammctavish

YOU GUYS! I crossed the 50K word count in my #novel today. Based on my outline, I might only have another 50K to go. #RookieWriter #Benchmark #WritersOfTwitter #WritingCommmunity

My 8 year old has suggested I kiss this little dude because I am a princess. Base flattery aside, I have resisted the urge to find out if Prince Charming is living in disguise in my strawberries.

@EMC2Marisa Also 100% butter.

Where did your ancestors come from... condiment edition. I'm 100% butter. How about you? #genealogy #wednesdaythought

@HillbrookGeneal @danielmloftus I've tried to eradicate the Mrs. forenames from my trees, but here's one I've found in my line on FamilySearch. I find it most commonly with those folks who seem determined to trace their line back to the dawn of time and will do it by hook or by crook.

Today's #Genealogy PSA: When entering your female ancestors in your family tree, please put her maiden name as the name that shows up, not her married name - makes it easier for people to track. 🙂
