#Genealogy . It's known that lives were shorter before modern medicine. I #amwriting the biographies of my 4 maternal g-g grandmothers; discovered that three were widowed while raising children, the fourth left her husband as a widower with children.

Do you see yourself doing activities that your #ancestors engaged in? Like people of yesteryear, I make some of my own clothes. And, of course, I #write #books about ancestors who wore homemade clothes. #write r #clothing #amwriting

As a #genealogist , writer, and biographer of my women ancestors born pre-1900, this book topic encourages me to keep #writing subject-relevant topics. Andrew Martin @JayneShrimpton
There's no end to new topics to learn relating to #genealogy . Richard Holt - Holt's Family History Research
This post is fun for me - a #genealogist - to see. My mother's mother's father was a cooper - he worked at a company that made barrels. I have a barrel at home in his memory, though a more recent barrel than this one! #genealogy #ancestors @noonarino
Appreciating the Society for One-Place Studies 1⃣🏘️🔎 folks who encourage 'place study' along with family history; I am editing the 'place' aspect of upcoming book about my 4 maternal g-g grandmothers. Info about where they lived provides context. #amwriting #authors #writers

Paul is correct - tracing marriages and/or name changes are among the historic family situations that can take time to figure out in #genealogy . Paul Chiddicks
Great question from the National Genealogical Society National Genealogical Society (NGS) 🌳🧬 - I am in the editing phase of the #book I #amwriting about my four maternal great-great grandmothers. Adding geographic info about where they lived (context), identifying 'holes' in content that need attention.
Fun post from Family Tree about turning your love of #genealogy into a job.

Hadn't thought to reach out to Toronto Archives. I'm close to finishing the book I #amwriting about my four maternal g-g grandmothers (born 1844-1863); the one I have the least info about spent 2nd half of her life in Toronto. #herstory #writers #authors #historical #ancestors
Interesting observation from Christine McCloud 🌳 . Similarly, the dog license record still exists for the dog my great-great grandmother had in Co. Wicklow, Ireland over 100 years ago! #familyhistory #historical #genealogy
I write up a summary as exactly that - a summary. Everything else...I personally start a genealogy document at the beginning of a project with a narrative outline, then fill in info as I gather it so the final document is a narrative family tale. Rebecca Stanley #AncestryHour
Fun post! I worked at a job in the U.S. in the 1990's where we still used such a key to open one of the doors at our building. Marsh's Library
As a #genealogist , I looked at my ancestor's life spans & compared that data to their income levels. Ancestors with higher income levels and/or better jobs often lived longer (see article). Have you compared your ancestor's income levels to life spans?

As I get closer to finishing the biographies of my four maternal g-g grandmothers, I am finding interesting trends in the lives of these four #women who were born 1844 - 1863. Observations offered in this #blog post. #WritingCommunity #writing #writer

Christine McCloud is correct - an important #genealogy resource involves doing oral history interviews with older relatives while they are still with us. #geneapleau
