The #1 job of genealogy is to take ancestors from names on paper to multidimensional people who lived, breathed, loved, lost, and helped us to be who we are. I'm a folklorist, historian, genealogist, and member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I'll teach you how to maximize on…
First off, welcome back - to us all! Glad to be recording again. This season will be all about confirmation bias and the many ways it can get in the way of writing accurate life stories. My focus has been on FamilySearch in the past few years, so we'll be talking about writing those Brief Life Histories there.This episode is about a specific search for answers about my great-granduncle, Harley Walker Bowers, his first wife Ethel Adaline McKinney, and her second husband, Solon Beecher Selleck. I expected to find out that Harley was a hound (he DID have three wives), that Ethel was a victim, and that Solon was her answer to prayer.Not so much.Listen as I detail discoveries that challenged all of my expectations, and rewrote this triangle of intertwined lives.
Today's episode is a Family Cookbook episode that I've wanted to make for quite a while. It features two of my favorite foods from the area where I went to college (and where MANY of my ancestors lived for over a century) - Deep Fried Biscuits and Homemade Apple Butter, from Indiana. See the shownotes for the recipes.The part of the apple butter recipe that fascinates me is that my mother's mother would have gone through all of the boiling and sealing of jars as a child and teenager, basically the whole canning process, and by the time she died she was using a microwave. We're never that far from history and continual evolution, even in the kitchen.Also, I invite you to celebrate my birthday with me, help me promote my YouTube channel in three easy steps, and with that, enter to win a deck of playing cards (design of your choice) from my Zazzle shop.Let's get cooking!You can join my Facebook group - just be sure to answer the screening questions and agree to the house rules.Please follow my YouTube channel here - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H, or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy.If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm.Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com, IG @fppppodcast, Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast and @ancestorsaliveSponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.

Here's another biography I developed on my quest to achieve one biography per day on my platform of choice, FamilySearch. With each ancestor, I always start with the auto-generated Life Story on Ancestry, copy it and paste it in the LifeStory field on FamilySearch. Then, I augment it with facts from census, vital, and other records, along with a little logical deduction thrown in for good measure. As I did before, I will read you the original from Ancestry and the final product on FamilySearch, complete with a list of sources. I hope that this inspires you to write a few biographies every month. It's the best way to come to understand the lives of our ancestors.Also, I'm no longer on Spotify. I explain that in the episode.Last, but absolutely not least, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!You can join my Facebook group - just be sure to answer the screening questions and agree to the house rules.Please follow my YouTube channel here - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H, or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy.If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm.Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com, IG @fppppodcast, Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast and @ancestorsaliveSponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.

Have you ever set a goal or {shudder} made a New Year's Resolution, and then not kept it? Yeah, you're allowed to look at me and point on that one. I am a terrible offender. But this year, I don't have a goal, or a resolution, I just have a hashtag. A THING, if you will. And that thing is - #BioADay2022. I am working hard to write a bio, little or big, for an ancestor, every day, for the year. And if I don't make one per day, no big deal - I'll just keep on trying.The podcast helps hold me accountable (as does guilt, lots of guilt), and I'm sharing one of my bios with you today. It's for Calvin Walker, my 3rd great-grandfather. He didn't save children from burning buildings or anything, but he lived a life that, like all lives, deserves to be remembered. I hope you enjoy his story, and the tale of how I assembled it. If I meet my goal, you'll see how important it is to document our ancestors, and you'll feel inspired to do so yourself.You can join my Facebook group by visiting this page for the link.Please follow my YouTube channel here - I will be doing more videos face to face, and perhaps even some live, with chat and everything!Please rate and review the podcast on your podcast provider, at https://apple.co/2MLZW4H, or at facebook.com/AncestorsAliveGenealogy.If you want to be on the podcast from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD using the Zoom platform and a good mic and earphones (how about that Family Cookbook series??), you can contact me at https://bit.ly/2Kxb6rm.Stop by the website at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com, IG @fppppodcast, Clubhouse @ancestorsalive and Twitter at both @fpppppodcast and @ancestorsaliveSponsor the podcast at patreon.com/AncestorsAlive for super-fantastic rewards, including SWAG for different levels of sponsorship AND monthly polls that yield even more SWAG.

Happy New Year, and welcome back to the post-champagne life! I have three recipes for you today, and each will appease your cheesecake cravings in different ways. The first is a traditional recipe from my mother's mother. The second is a Ricotta Cheesecake (or Ricotta Pie) from a local real estate agent, AnnaLisa Bossio.

2021 is definitely in the running for my least favorite year EVER! It has given me reason to reexamine what I'm doing, however, both with the podcast and with my own work. Join me for a list of thank-you's, and for an introduction of the quickest, easiest solution I've found so far to distractions, brick walls, and the genealogy blues - #BioADay2022. Let's join together to hold one another accountable as we actively learn more about our ancestors by generating and augmenting short (as in, 2-minute) biographies for ancestors using Ancestry with FamilySearch and WikiTree. 2022 is not going to start off as an easy year, but we can help one another through it together and get higher-quality research out of it as a squadron than we might flying solo.

Finally, part two of my January 2021 interview with Michael Twitty, in which we talk much more about food than we did in the first half. We start by discussing how genealogy is a part of becoming whole, which enables us to be of service in this world. Then, we talk about how food isn't just food. There are revelations about fufu. Michael makes all kinds of links between foods from the African continent and Southern cuisine, and even finds the origins of dance movements in cooking and war. He discusses the difference between Whiteness and European-ness, something that is not discussed enough, and how moving beyond trauma begins with honesty. We also discuss a few aspects of racism in necessary archives, with Michael conveying a personal experience he had. For foodies, there's a lot here. For genealogists, there's a lot here, too, because food is an integral part of genealogy. I hope you'll listen to this episode (and episode 402 first, if you haven't yet), to learn a bit about how Michael is writing his own recipe.

I cannot believe my sheer luck in getting the opportunity to interview Michael W Twitty! Well, luck and a year of trying. The man is BUSY. In 2017, Michael published a watershed book called The Cooking Gene. It's an amazing work of research - into folklore, into genealogy, into history, and deeper into his career of choice, Southern foodways and their connection to Africa. This is a sneeky peek into the nature of our conversation, which was almost two hours long and which I am editing into two separate episodes. Enjoy this preview of who Michael is and what's on his mind, then buy his book at his blog, afroculinaria.com. You can join my Facebook group by visiting this page for the link.

This is not an episode so much as an announcement: it's holiday time and that means it's time for taking folklore! But, with the increased need to stay home and separate, and with more people than ever relying on devices and video chat to communicate with family, why not see this as an opportunity to use Zoom.us to not only communicate, but to record family members telling stories? Look to your elders. Show photos. Ask questions. Find out everything that you can NOW, while the focus is on family, safety, and reflection. Below (at ancestorsalivegenealogy.com) please find a terrific video I found on YouTube, a step-by-step how-to on recording Zoom calls. Enjoy the holiday season, buckle up for a cold and long Winter, and stay safe. Keep in touch with your family and help your elders to understand how much you value their knowledge and stories.

Yes it's Halloween, but we're not really getting scary with it - maybe a little spoopy, but more misty. And hungry. This episode has stories, a few laughs, a few recipes, and is a tribute to YOU - my audience - for sticking with me since January 2018. Next year, maybe you'll contribute a story or a recipe yourself? In the meantime, listen and enjoy as the stories I collected LAST year finally get an airing. Stay safe, and stay spoopy, my pumpkins. Wash your hands, mask up, and stay at home, where the heart is. I hit some technical glitches, so I had to re-upload the episode and recreate it. Sorry about that!

Yes it's Halloween, but we're not really getting scary with it - maybe a little spoopy, but more misty. And hungry. This episode has stories, a few laughs, a few recipes, and is a tribute to YOU - my audience - for sticking with me since January 2018. Next year, maybe you'll contribute a story or a recipe yourself? In the meantime, listen and enjoy as the stories I collected LAST year finally get an airing. Stay safe, and stay spoopy, my pumpkins. Wash your hands, mask up, and stay at home, where the heart is. I hit some technical glitches, so I had to re-upload the episode and recreate it. Sorry about that!

This episode is super-sized, because the topic is that important: racism in genealogy and the new AncestryDNA policy that will eliminate all matches below 8cM for all users. I mention the multiple hacks and security breaches on genealogy and DNA websites within the past week, too. But more than anything, this episode allows my cousin, Brian Sheffey, to discuss his experience with multi-ethnic DNA matches and finding evidence of the identities of white ancestors among free black and enslaved ancestors in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This is why I am upset about Ancestry's tone-deaf policy - it will wreak havoc on research among a population that already suffers from a comparative dearth of records or limited access to the documentary record. It also has the potential to affect those researching remote foundlings, adoptees and other unknown parentage cases. I believe that the decision Ancestry has made is evidence of the lack of diversity among their management and leadership, something that Ancestry's CEO promised to change when he voiced support for Black Lives Matter on June 3rd.

This is the soundtrack of the YouTube video I released on June 10th, combined with some further explanations and discourse in reference to Reparational Genealogy. It contains challenges to White American genealogists to use social media platforms to start to publicize the facts about their slaveholding ancestors. For those White American genealogists whose ancestors didn't enslave, there are questions to answer, and the same challenge to be met, concerning the truth of how our post-Civil War and non-slaveholding ancestors still benefited from White Privilege. This is a hot topic, too hot for some. It's not a new topic; I've been discussing aspects of it here since the beginning of 2018, and for some years before that elsewhere. I'm asking that you set your biases, fears, and preconceived notions and do the work of actual genealogy - examine the historical accuracy of what you've been told, of your assumptions, and of your responsibility for correcting an absurdly biased history that has been forced upon American students since the participating soldiers in the Civil War were still alive. If this is too hot for you, I have to say it - this isn't the place for you. I have held my tongue for too long. It's time to do the hard work of self-examination, and of reexamination. I hope that you'll listen, and that you'll join in the work. You can join my Discord server and Facebook group by visiting this page for links.

Are your kids bored with homeschooling yet? How about some good, old-fashioned Home Ec! Were you required to take Home Economics in order to graduate? I may be dating myself, but I was. We had to learn how to cook, and one of the best lessons was making candy. My mom had it even better - she grew up in a household where making candy was a part of the family's culinary tradition. Some of these recipes go back to my great-grandmother, at least one goes to my grandmother's friend Mrs. Tully, and others are ones my grandmother used and then passed down to my mom. The best thing about those last ones are the crummy high-school typing on the cards - my mom was learning as she went! So give these recipes a try with your kids. Fill them full of sugar. Then, make them run on the treadmill so they don't knock over all of your furniture. They'll learn something, you'll have a project to complete together, and homeschooling won't be just books and exercises on the computer. Take care, pumpkins! Wash your hands!

Well, the landscape has changed a lot since my last episode! I hope that you are well, healthy and stocked and sheltering safely, not worrying about your kin. Today I have some comfort food recipes from my mother and grandmother. We're starting with an apple cake with cream cheese frosting (because on sick days, we can start with dessert), and then we're going Tex-Mex with chili enchiladas, followed by Anglo-American with chicken and Yorkshire pudding. All three of these are pretty easy to make, they take advantage of fruits and vegetables that you probably already have around the house, and best of all, they freeze well. I like having a variety of foods available when I'm not leaving the house much - it makes me feel like I have range and luxury available without breaking the bank. And since these current hunker-down and limited-movement orders look to be something we'll be dealing with for the next few months at least, it's best to plan for some diversity in ready-made meals. I know that the news changes daily, and I know that we're all concerned, but we need to shore each other up with great ideas in the meantime. Support the podcast at patreon.com/ancestorsalive for as little as $1/month and you can access all of my screenshot videos, how-to's that you can use for your work on Ancestry, FamilySearch, and more. I think it's unwise to try to get more done than usual, so please be kind to yourself and don't push. But these videos show you best practices and best evidence for doing the best possible work.

This episode is both a video and the soundtrack of that video. Normally, my videos are for Patreon subscribers only, but I thought that this quick little how-to about verifying qualifying patriots for the Daughters of the American Revolution, cleaning up their profiles in Ancestry, and using pixlr.com to make each one a unique profile photo would be interesting to a lot of people. But please, if you find value in this podcast, support me for a few dollars a month at patreon.com/ancestorsalive. It takes time and money to do all that I do. Ultimately, I think you'll want to watch the video (which is captioned in English), but enjoy the audio as well!
