This week, 160 years ago, my 4g grandmother Almira C. Barber's earliest appearance in Michigan. #ancestry#genealogy#historywww.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3... : accessed 29 February 2024) > images 38-39 of 812.

One of the things I like about research is that it could really mean any record set. A client recently hired me to photograph a group of papers from Augustus B. Woodward, first Chief Justice of the Michigan Territory. It turns out he has beautiful handwriting. #history#genealogy#ancestry

Spent the last couple of days marketing a presentation on family tree research in newspapers. It's like the Venn overlap of my passion for genealogy and a career in journalism. #genealogy#ancestry#history

Of course, not every client lead leads to work, but I still get a little spark of joy whenever I get an inquiry — particularly a really interesting sounding one. #ancestry#genealogy

Y’all, as a person on the clock for a CG, it is *killing* me that I can’t really share what I’m working on. Gaaah! #genhour

Spent the day marketing: spreading fliers and getting contacts for genealogy presentations. How’s everyone else? #genhour#genealogy#ancestry

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,334,081! Ok, so it doesn’t sound all that impressive, but whatevs. Everyone else was doing it.

My 4g gf’s obit, OTD in 1855: “DIED In this city, on the 14th inst. of consumption, Mr. Charles H., son of Edward and Eliza Barber, of Hamilton, C.W., formerly of this city, aged 27 years and 10 months.” #genealogy#ancestry Charles H. Barber obit, Auburn [New York] Daily Advertiser, 15 Sept. 1855.
