Coming Soon: I’m rebooting my old blog on Substack. I’ll be looking for ways to balance a broad discussion of genealogy and local history research with personal stories of cousins both near and distant.
Remember: we’re all cousins if you can go back far enough!
Look for me on 4 October.

The older I get, the more I realize how little of American history I was taught in school...
"Descendants of executed Dakota 38+2 ride to Mankato to honor ancestors"
They need a new #Superman - why not?

I'm looking for suggestions of songs for a #genealogy / #familyhistory themed album.

I feel good
I feel great today
I joined the Happy Club
And the Happy Club says:
I get frustrated with streaming music services and their recommendations algorithms. When I put in artists who are women and let the service generate a playlist, they always seem to regress to the "white guys with guitars" mean.
Like, if I start with Neko Case, shouldn't I expect to hear at least a few similar female artists (in addition to Death Cab for Cutie and the Decembrists)?
I want more diversity from my recommendation algorithm!
If you're interested in the U.S. #CivilWar, I published a collection of 77 poems by my great-great-grandfather - a soldier in the 21st Ohio Light Artillery.
(The Lulu page is marked as "explicit material" for some grisly descriptions)

Anyone else here into family history and #genealogy yet?
I self-published my research in March, after a seven-year effort.
Well worth the time!
