In this fascinating episode of Life Stories: People Helping People, Shara talks with Mica L. Anders, a professional genealogist, historian, and artistic placemaker whose work helps individuals uncover forgotten family stories. What started as a hobby turned into a calling — helping people trace their roots, heal old family wounds, and understand their identities in a deeper way.Mica shares how her background in art led her to create genealogy quilts, how DNA testing can reveal surprising truths, and how she helps both descendants of enslaved people and enslavers navigate their shared history.

Throughout the book of Genesis, which was clearly written thousands of years ago, there are predictions and promises made by God that are inescapably true to this day. God promised that a descendant of Adam and Eve would one day crush the head of the Liar. By virtue of the historical narrative of Genesis and the Old Testament, we can trace the fulfillment of that promise from generation to generation until we come to a manger in Bethlehem.Support the showThanks for listening!

Genealogy Gems Podcast Episode 301with Lisa Louise CookeNovember 2025 GEM: The Return of Elephind.com Imagine having the power to access centuries of history at your fingertips. Elephind.com is making this a reality for genealogists and history enthusiasts alike. In this interview, we explore how this innovative platform is transforming the way we search for historical newspapers. Show Notes for Full Text Search and video replay. GEM: Comparing AI Chatbots for Newspaper Transcription This segment comes from the Premium episode of Elevenses with Lisa called Comparing AI Chatbots for Genealogy. The full episode is available as a video replay and Premium podcast episode and includes a comprehensive downloadable reference cheat sheet.  Newspaper Transcription Takeaways: In this comparison, Gemini came out as the winner for newspaper transcription. LLMs are predictive, so they excel at the narrative, where words relate to each other. It struggles with names, where each is random. It leans toward interpreting names based on names that appeared earlier in the text (ex. Bruhn) Bonus Tip: After your initial result ask the chatbot to provide you with a worksheet if it appears there were questionable words. Prompt: Leave a blank space for each name you are unsure about that is large enough to accommodate me writing in the name when I print out your answer.  Watch our latest videos on using AI for genealogy: AI: What is it and how to think about it (Premium) Comparing and Choosing AI Chatbots for Genealogy (Premium) AI Vocabulary Terms 10 Powerful AI PromptsAI Research Assistant at FamilySearch 6 Tasks AI Can Do for Your Genealogy (Premium) Nano Banana – Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Creating Location Guides with AI (Premium) AI: Gemini Gems (Premium)   The free podcast is sponsored by:     Get your DNA kit today.    Visit newspapers.com/genealogygems to get 20% off your subscription.    Become a Genealogy Gems Premium eLearning Member Gain access to the complete Premium podcast archive of over 150 episodes and more than 50 video webinars, including Lisa Louise Cooke's newest video The Big Picture in Little Details.

We're throwing it back to the 1996 cult classic film The Craft just in time for Halloween! We begin with a conversation about Hannah and Marcelle's teenage witch phases (of course they both had them), before digging into the filmic landscape of the 90s. Hannah argues that The Craft's interest in girlhood and power was a catalyst that paved the way for pop culture to come, like Buffy and Charmed and Practical Magic. Hannah then draws on Stacy Gillis and Rebecca Munford's “Genealogies and Generations: The Politics and Praxis of Third Wave Feminism" and Jessica Rosenberg and Gitana Garofalo's “Riot Grrrl: Revolutions from Within" to help understand the resonance of film.

This article looks at the genealogies of Jesus recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and provides insights into why these two lists of ancestors differs. Matthew and Luke had very different purposes in collating the genealogical history of Jesus. Matthew shows that Jesus has far greater honour and acclaim as Son of God than as son of David. Luke elaborates Jesus' distinguished lineage: divine, royal, and priestly. The article ends with Paul's use of genealogies to emphasize that we are all called to be adopted children of God: legally eligible to participate in our Father's inheritance.

There were lots of secrets in Nicola Hanefeld's family. One item led to a treasure trove of sometimes upsetting documents relating to their past in Czechoslovakia, the Holocaust and the fate of some of her family. Following the stories Nicola wrote a book "The Unspeakable, Breaking My Family Silence Surrounding the Holocaust". The interview transcript is available on Journeys into Genealogy on Substack. 

Names are among the most personal pieces of information we can record, yet in genealogy they often become our most puzzling clues. They carry history, culture, and family identity. They also shift, disappear, and change shape across generations, sometimes leaving researchers wondering whether they're tracing one person—or several with similar names. In every century and culture, names have done more than identify. They have marked belonging, revealed heritage, reflected belief, and sometimes offered protection. Understanding how and why names change is one of the most valuable skills a genealogist can learn.

Some of the most powerful moments in genealogy happen when we uncover something someone tried to hide. It might be a missing record, a false birth date, or a name that suddenly disappears and reappears under a new spelling. Secrets are part of every family story, and when they surface, they can change how we see everything that came before. I've spent many years researching family lines, and I've learned that every family, no matter how ordinary, carries something it once chose not to share. Some secrets are harmless. Others reach so deep that they still shape the generations that followed. In genealogy, truth and silence often meet in the same place—and that's where some of the most meaningful work begins...

Genealogy provides us with more than just names and dates. It reveals how people lived, what they valued, and how they formed the ties that made them family. Those ties are not always simple. As research deepens, we begin to see that the concept of family has never had a single, unified meaning. It shifts with time, culture, and circumstance. This article looks at what happens when “family” does not follow the expected line of descent. It explores how people have shaped, recorded, and redefined their families throughout history and what that means for genealogical research today...

In this session, we use the Africana Studies Framework to reflect on continuities and disruptions in US and global Social Structures and how thinking in and with Africana Governance formations must lead to rejuvenating and sharing connections between memory, ritual and vision. How do we move beyond distractions to embrace ancestral wisdom in order to renew and best utilize our genealogies? Gleaning insight from a variety of past and immediate experiences, this session asks, are we the embodiment of dreams and sacrifices that made our lives possible? Should that even be a guiding question?

Columbus Day began as a celebration of exploration and immigrant pride. Over time, it became one of the most debated observances in the United States. This is the story of how a single holiday came to represent two distinctly different perspectives on American history. The idea of honoring Christopher Columbus in the United States dates back to the late 1700s. The earliest known celebration took place in New York City in 1792. The Columbian Order, also called Tammany Hall, organized a ceremony to mark the 300th anniversary of Columbus's first voyage. The young republic saw in Columbus a symbol of courage, exploration, and the spread of Western civilization. During the early 1800s, public references to Columbus appeared in schoolbooks, political speeches, and patriotic art. Cities named after him multiplied, including Columbus, Ohio, which was founded in 1812. The explorer's image fit well with America's self-image as a bold new world. By the mid-nineteenth century, the celebration of Columbus took on new meaning for Italian immigrants. Many arrived in the United States during a period of widespread prejudice and social exclusion. They looked to Columbus, an Italian navigator sailing under the Spanish crown, as a national hero who had changed the course of world history. Honoring him became a way to assert cultural pride and to show that Italians belonged in American society...

Every so often, a genealogy book comes along that makes me look at research in a completely new way. Researching Ancestral Crisis in Ireland by Chris Paton did that for me. If you have ever chased Irish ancestors, you already know it is not for the faint of heart. Records vanish. Churches burn. Counties split and rename. Sometimes the trail just goes cold. What this book does so well is explain why those records went missing and how the crises of Ireland's past shaped what was written down, what was lost, and what can still be found today...

Every postcard has its surprises, and this one from my collection is a little unusual. Instead of showing a scenic view or a tourist attraction, it shows a mural of a man who was both feared and admired: Jesse James, the famous Missouri outlaw. The mural is located inside the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, and the fact that it ended up on a postcard tells you a lot about how Americans have remembered Jesse James—not just as a criminal, but as a larger-than-life figure of folklore. The postcard was published by Blair Cedar & Novelty Works of Camdenton, Missouri, with printing by Colorpicture of Boston, Massachusetts. Like many linen-era cards, it's vivid and bold, with stylized colors that almost make the mural look alive. On the front, the mural shows Jesse James and his gang in the middle of a train robbery—a scene that has become part of American legend. Farmers and workers stand in the background, symbolizing the state's broader history, while the train steams through the center as the action unfolds. It's a striking image: outlaw life turned into high art, displayed in the very heart of Missouri government...

Sermon by Rabbi Andrew Kaplan Mandel, "Glimpses Into The Spiritual Practice of Genealogy" October 10th, 2025

Every postcard in my collection has a story to tell, and this one takes us to Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri. On the front, you see a lively crowd gathered at the Municipal Opera, better known today as The Muny. The seats are packed, the stage is bright, and the performance is in full swing. Just looking at the card, you can almost hear the music floating through the summer night air. On the back, the caption reads: “The fame of St. Louis's Municipal Opera has spread throughout the world, and visitors come thousands of miles to witness this glamorous spectacle. Night after night throughout the summer, distinguished stars present popular musical attractions in a beautiful al fresco theatre in the heart of Forest Park.” Printed with space for a one-cent stamp, this postcard captures an era when people took great pride in local landmarks and mailed them across the country as souvenirs. The card itself was published by E.C. Kropp of Milwaukee and distributed by the Session Merchandise Company in St. Louis. It's a classic linen card, likely dating from the 1930s or 1940s, when bold colors and textured printing were the style of choice. For me, as a collector, this card stands out because it's more than just a building—it's an experience. It shows people gathered together outdoors, enjoying music, theater, and community. That's exactly what The Muny was built for, and that's why it has lasted more than a century...

In this heartfelt and spiritually rich episode, Jaxon Cummings welcomes Bubba Page, a father of eight, entrepreneur, and investor known for leading with faith, family, and authenticity. Bubba opens up about life's defining trials — including divorce, business failures, and faith struggles — and how they shaped his spiritual growth and purpose.Through his story, Bubba emphasizes finding light in adversity, learning from God through hardship, and living authentically as a disciple of Christ. The conversation moves from overcoming pain to embracing perspective, repentance, purpose, and legacy — inspiring listeners to become intentional about their spiritual and personal growth. Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Power of PerspectiveChoosing to see life as “half full” transforms suffering into learning.Every trial is an opportunity to ask, “What does God want to teach me through this?”2. Faith Through HardshipDivorce and business failure became catalysts for spiritual awakening.Turning to God during trials brought Bubba peace, humility, and purpose.3. Repentance & Spiritual RenewalRepentance isn't punishment — it's liberation.Consistent prayer, scripture study, and humility open the door to revelation.4. Authenticity Over People-PleasingLiving true to oneself as a child of God leads to real peace.People-pleasing stems from unhealed childhood wounds; healing requires self-love and therapy.5. Fatherhood & LegacyBubba's greatest calling is being a father who leads his family spiritually.True legacy is built on love, faith, and courage — not worldly success.6. Distraction & Spiritual WarfareModern distractions, especially technology, can derail spiritual focus.Satan's greatest tool is subtle distraction from divine purpose.7.

Every postcard has a story to tell, and this one from my collection takes us into the world of Utah mining. The front of the card is filled with colorful illustrations of mines, towns, and the people who worked them. At the center is a portrait of an older prospector, George P. Watson, who spent nearly five decades searching for ore in Utah. Around him are views of famous mines: the Alta United Mine, Park City Consolidated Mine, Horn Silver Mine at Milford, the Utah Copper Mine at Bingham, and the Chief Consolidated Mine at Eureka. Together, these images form a kind of collage, showing how important mining was to Utah's identity in the early 20th century...

We feel very fortunate, and our son is developing well; we are also settling into the new routine.  We matched with our Son's birth mother through a local agency, and unfortunately, she decided that she did not want to meet us. She gave no information about the biological father.  We know she was caucasian, but honestly, it is unclear whether our son is entirely caucasian or not. The pediatrician said it was a mystery, and he may be caucasian with a darker complexion, or biracial, some amount of Hispanic, black, or any other heritage. We want to do everything in our power to be informed, acknowledge, and celebrate any ethnic background that is presented, but short of doing a DNA ancestry service on a baby that is a few weeks old, I don't really know where to begin- I'd appreciate any guidance you have. Resources:Raising a Transracial or Multicultural ChildAdoptee VoicesEthical Issues in Genetic Testing in AdoptionGenetic Testing and Genealogy for AdopteesGenetic Testing for Adoptees – Is It Worth It?Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Scientists just used artificial intelligence to design the world's first AI-generated viruses capable of hunting down and killing drug-resistant strains of E. coli. These bacteriophages look like tiny alien pineapples with syringes that stab bacterial cells, and they're just the beginning of AI-created life. From Matt's dream of dish-cleaning bacteria that won't eat you (hopefully) to the accidental discovery that trying to make super purple petunias actually created white flowers instead, this episode explores what the if happens when computers start writing genetic code. Discover why we're running out of antibiotics, how a virus with only 11 genes works, and why your future dish soap bottle might say "now with AI inside." Plus, learn about the scientist who tried to engineer the most purple petunias ever and accidentally won a Nobel Prize instead.

Genealogy is big business these days. And now more than 40 million people have taken DNA tests to learn more about their lineage – maybe hoping they’re related to royalty! But today on A NEW BEGINNING, as we study the life of Esther, Pastor Greg Laurie points out there’s a lineage that extends beyond the earthly. We’ll see, spiritually-speaking, we’ve been adopted into God’s family through Christ. Indeed, we are related to royalty. We’re chosen sons and daughters of the King.
