Diana and Nicole share their recent visit to the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they explore the facility's premier resources. Listeners learn how to use the Periodical Source Index (PERSI) to locate articles by keyword, surname, or locality. The pair explains the value of city directories for tracking individuals after 1950 to uncover addresses and occupations. They also offer guidance on utilizing published family histories, specifically on evaluating an author's methods and identifying primary source clues within these volumes. The discussion shifts to the library's expansive collection of locality-based books, including county histories and cemetery abstracts, and their methodology section containing various research guides. Listeners gain insight into the benefits of accessing subscription-based databases and locked FamilySearch collections while onsite. Finally, Diana and Nicole address the library's transition to digital microfilm viewing, noting that physical film remains accessible for those who prefer it. By the end of the episode, listeners understand how to prepare for a research trip to this center and maximize their time while working with its collections.  This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Summer is one of the best times of year to bring family history out of the computer and into the real world. The days are longer. Travel is easier. Cemeteries are more accessible. Families gather for cookouts, reunions, weddings, and vacations. Local libraries, courthouses, archives, historical societies, and old hometowns suddenly become places you might actually visit. That makes summer a great season for genealogy research. But the best summer research does not start with a road trip. It starts with a plan. You don't need to solve your entire family tree. You don't need to chase every surname. You don't need to spend your whole summer buried in records. The goal is to choose a few useful projects that are enjoyable, realistic, and worth your time. A good summer genealogy project should help you do one of three things: Learn something new about an ancestor Visit a place connected to your family history Organize what you already have so your research is easier later That is enough. Small projects can lead to big discoveries...

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Question: Our daughter is 11 months old and was adopted through an open adoption. We have a relationship with her birth mother, but don't yet feel it's the right moment to ask about family history, and her birth father is completely unknown to us. We do know that both birth parents are Hispanic, but beyond that, we have no additional information about her heritage or background. We want her to grow up with as rich a sense of her identity and heritage as possible. What guidance do adoption professionals offer around using genetic testing like 23andMe or AncestryDNA for adoptees? Is there an age-appropriate time to do this, or is it better to wait and let her decide for herself when she's older? Are there any other considerations unique to the adoptee experience we should keep in mind?Resources:Genetic Testing for Adoptees: Key Considerations and BenefitsGenetic Testing for Adoptees - Is It Worth It?Genetic Testing and Genealogy for AdopteesListen here to learn more about our Executive Director, Linda FioreSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.  This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

Luke 3:16-22 New International Version 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with[a] water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them. 19 But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other evil things he had done, 20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison. The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus 21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

African Islamic modernity is a complex and ongoing historical project—our guest's scholarship illuminates the intricate entanglements between African racial identities, Islamic ways of living, and modernity as the dominant global framework for social, economic, and political organization. Using Senegal as a focal point, Professor Wendell Marsh explores how a society with a millennium of Islamic presence and over five centuries of integration into the global economy—shaped sequentially by the trans-Atlantic slave trade, colonization, and neoliberal structural adjustment—has consistently escaped both Africanist and Orientalist scholarly constructions.  Wendell Marsh's expertise in African-Arabic textuality and the intellectual history of Islam in Africa provides essential insight into how Islamic scholarly traditions in places like Senegal have produced sophisticated theological and political responses to colonial domination and global economic integration. His research on figures like Shaykh Musa Kamara demonstrates how African Muslim intellectuals developed complex theoretical frameworks that simultaneously engaged with global Islamic thought, resisted colonial epistemologies, and articulated distinctly African forms of Islamic modernity. This scholarly approach reveals how African Islamic modernity represents not simply a reaction to Western modernity, but rather an alternative genealogy of modern thought that emerges from the intersection of Islamic intellectual traditions, African social structures, and the historical experience of slavery, colonialism, and contemporary global capitalism. The episode draws on cutting-edge scholarship in Africana Studies that challenges conventional academic boundaries between African Studies, Islamic Studies, and colonial history to reveal how African Islamic societies have created unique pathways to modernity. BiographyWendell Marsh is an Associate Professor of African Humanities at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Ben Guérir, Morocco. He researches and teaches at the intersections of African and diasporic intellectual history, comparative literature, religious studies, and the politics of knowledge production. Professor Marsh's scholarship foregrounds African contributions to global intellectual traditions—especially through Arabic-language sources—and examines how race, religion, and language shape the humanities and public discourse.Recommended ReadingsWendell Marsh, Textual Life: Islam, Africa, and the Fate of the Humanities (Columbia University Press, 2025)#Islam #Africa #IslamicModernity #Muslims #Humanities #Slavery #ColonialismSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr

Hosts Nicole and Diana discuss using Claude's Custom Skills to automate genealogical report writing. Nicole begins by sharing her previous, challenging attempt to transform a Baldy Dyer research log spreadsheet into a research report using earlier Claude models. Diana provides an overview of Claude, noting its models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) and new features like Custom Skills, which are similar to Custom GPTs. Nicole explains that she set up a Custom Skill to convert spreadsheet files into research reports. The prompt instructs Claude to create a paragraph from each log row, describing the search and findings, and using the source citation as a markdown footnote. Claude successfully generates a report based on Nicole's Baldy Dyer research log. Nicole offers feedback to refine the skill. She asks Claude to synthesize the research results and comments into natural prose without making inferences, include direct quotes as block quotes, and handle negative search results more naturally. The hosts then review the report, noting its efficiency but also discussing a factual inconsistency the AI did not correlate—the conflict between the pre-existing objective's death date for Baldy Dyer (20 Nov 1814) and the new finding (February 1815). Nicole questions how much analysis and correlation she can entrust to the AI. Listeners learn how to use Claude's Custom Skills to generate genealogical research reports from a research log.

In 1975, the partial remains of 73-year-old William Reginald Sipfle were discovered in a Tucson landfill, a case that went cold for over five decades before forensic genealogy and DNA technology brought it back to life. The alleged perpetrator, Sipfle's own stepdaughter Carol Ann Beall, is now 79 and accused of not only killing him but collecting nearly six hundred thousand dollars from his pension across the years that followed. This episode examines the forensic science that cracked the case, the psychological profile of long-term concealment, and what elder homicide cases reveal about family violence, financial exploitation, and the criminal mind's capacity for sustained deception.

n October 1975, the unidentified remains of a Tucson man were found near Ryan Airfield with no missing person report, no leads, and no justice for a family left without answers. Fifty-one years later, investigators armed with forensic genealogy technology traced the victim to 73-year-old William Reginald Sipfle and identified his stepdaughter Carol Ann Beall, now 79, as the prime suspect, allegedly collecting up to six hundred thousand dollars from his pension the entire time. This episode breaks down how the cold case was reopened, how DNA changed everything, and what this arrest means for the growing number of decades-old crimes now being solved through modern forensic science. IAB Tags: Crime/True Crime, Law/Government/Legal, Science, News/Current Events, Society True Detective Podcast Title: 51 Years in the Dark: How DNA Pulled a Killer Out of a Cold Case and Into a Courtroom A body dumped in a landfill in 1975, a victim who had no name for decades, and a suspect who allegedly spent over half a century collecting a dead man's pension, this is one of the most chilling cold case resolutions in recent memory. Investigators used forensic genealogy to identify the victim as William Reginald Sipfle and zeroed in on his stepdaughter Carol Ann Beall, now 79, as the woman prosecutors believe killed him and buried both the body and the truth for 51 years. This episode goes deep into the investigative trail, the forensic tools that made the breakthrough possible, and the haunting question of how someone lives an ordinary life while carrying a secret that dark for that long.Sonnet 4.6

The episode features guest Judy Nimer Muhn, a professional genealogist and author who specializes in French-Canadian, Acadian, and Indigenous ancestry. Judy is also the owner of Lineage Journeys and serves as the President of the Michigan Genealogical Council. Nicole and Diana discuss Acadian research with Judy, focusing on how she defines the Acadians and distinguishes them from French-Canadians. Nicole asks for the critical first steps researchers should take when beginning to use Acadian records, such as using Facebook groups and provincial archives. Judy talks about the challenge of condensing the history section for her Acadian Genealogy Guide and lists the principal archives, including collections at the University of Maine at Fort Kent and the Library and Archives of Canada. The conversation shifts to the unexpected feelings and "weirdness" that genealogists sometimes experience while researching. Judy shares how she, as a scientist and former licensed psychologist, reconciles these "psychic" feelings or moments of synchronicity with a scientific worldview. The hosts ask Judy how Hank Jones's book Psychic Roots changed her perspective on these strange connections. Judy explains what happens in the brain during these moments using cognitive psychology concepts like luck theory. The discussion touches upon how quantum mechanics may relate to connecting with the past and why many genealogists feel uncomfortable sharing these experiences. Listeners learn essential resources and initial steps for Acadian research and gain a scientific and psychological perspective on the powerful connections felt while tracing family history.

The episode begins with CCC records, explaining how applications and related files reveal personal details about family structure, education, employment, and migration during the Great Depression.The conversation then shifts to Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land grants, where Kathleen explains why researchers should never stop at the initial certificate. Supporting documents—including surveys, deeds, probate files, and tax lists—often identify widows, heirs, neighbors, and land relationships that deepen family reconstruction.Finally, Kathleen explores the release of Ireland's 1926 Census, discussing how researchers can connect census findings with U.S. immigration records, naturalization paperwork, and church records to build more complete Irish family histories.Key questions examined include: What records are researchers most likely to overlook?  Why do original files matter more than abstracts?  How can one record group lead to multiple generations of evidence? Resources & Research Tools MentionedNational Archives of Ireland 1926 Census Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) applications and records  Newspapers and local historical societies  State archives and National Park Service collections  Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land records  Plat maps, tax lists, deeds, probate, and wills  Ireland's 1926 Census  Passenger lists, naturalization records, and church registers Why This Episode MattersMany genealogy breakthroughs come from looking beyond indexes and pulling the full record set surrounding an ancestor. This episode demonstrates how layered research across military, land, labor, and immigration records creates stronger and more accurate family histories.About the PodcastHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping listeners navigate historical records, research challenges, and overlooked sources to uncover deeper family stories.Support the showBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks  for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

At some point in every family history, progress slows down. You follow the records, build timelines, confirm relationships, and then you reach a place where nothing new appears. The trail fades. The records seem to stop. The same searches return the same results. This is what genealogists call a brick wall. Brick walls are not unusual. In fact, they are expected. Every researcher, no matter how experienced, encounters them. What matters is how you approach the problem once you reach that point. Breaking through a brick wall rarely comes from one lucky discovery. It usually comes from a change in method...

Luke 3:23-38

As your family history begins to take shape, there comes a point where you need more than timelines and patterns. Census records help you follow families across time, but they do not always prove relationships on their own. Names appear together. Ages line up. Locations make sense. But without stronger evidence, those connections remain likely rather than certain. This is where vital records come in. Birth, marriage, and death records form the backbone of proof in genealogy. They are created to document major life events, and when used carefully, they help confirm identities, establish relationships, and anchor your research in reliable evidence. Understanding how to find and use these records will take your research to a higher level...

By the time you reach this stage in your research, your family tree should have a solid structure. You have used census records to follow families across time. You have used vital records to confirm key relationships. Names, dates, and places are starting to come together in a clear way. Now the work shifts. Basic records help you identify who belongs in your tree. The next level of research helps you understand how those people lived and how they were connected. This is where land, probate, and military records become important. These records often go beyond simple facts and reveal relationships, movement, and decisions that shaped a family. They are also some of the most overlooked sources in genealogy...

Let us know what you think!Episode OverviewHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping researchers move beyond online databases and into the archives, collections, and communities where deeper family stories live. In this episode, host Kathleen Brandt gets honest about what researchers cannot afford to forget on a summer genealogy road trip—from choosing the right repositories to asking better questions than simply “Do you have my ancestor's name?”Using examples from research trips to Detroit and Ann Arbor, Kathleen explains why offline records are often the key to understanding the motivations, conflicts, migrations, and community ties that shaped ancestors' lives.In This Episode, You'll Learn Why online genealogy databases rarely tell the full story  How to identify repositories worth visiting in person  What kinds of offline records reveal context and motivation  How archivists and advance preparation improve research results  Why community history matters as much as individual records Topics Covered The limits of online genealogy databases  Researching letters, manuscripts, minutes, and special collections  Prioritizing repositories by time period, topic, and community relevance  Using AI tools to build realistic genealogy research itineraries  Why calling ahead and consulting archivists saves time  Detroit Public Library's Burton Historical Collection  Labor archives and society minutes as sources of conflict and motivation  Ethnic community research and migration patterns  Common genealogy road trip mistakes  Avoiding unnecessary travel for records already available online Episode Discussion & Key MomentsKathleen explains why many genealogy researchers reach a plateau when they rely only on searchable online databases. While digitized records provide access and convenience, they often miss the documents that explain why families moved, joined organizations, changed occupations, or became part of specific communities.Drawing from research experiences in Detroit and Ann Arbor, Kathleen discusses how repositories containing manuscripts, labor records, organizational minutes, and ethnic community collections can uncover motivations and social context absent from census and vital records. She also highlights the importance of preparation—using AI tools, targeted planning, and archivist guidance to make research trips more productive.The episode emphasizes that successful genealogy travel is not about visiting the largest number of libraries, but about identifying the repositories most connected to a family's time period, occupation, migration path, or community network.Key questions examined include: What records are worth traveling to see in person?  How do community archives change genealogical conclusions?  Why do offline collections often explain migration and identity better than databases? Resources & Research Tools Mentioned Detroit Public Library Burton Historical Collection  Labor archSupport the showBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks  for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 3.23-38Jobey McGintyWe might think that difficult passages in the Bible—like confusing genealogies or apparent contradictions—undermine its reliability. However, Luke's record of Jesus' lineage (Luke 3:23–38) proves the opposite. By tracing Christ back to Adam, Luke demonstrates that the gospel is rooted in actual history, not abstract ideas. Genealogies aren't mistakes; they are intentional records showing God working through sinners and outsiders. Jesus entered our broken family lines to redeem them, proving He is both the Son of David and the Son of God. These details exist so you can have "certainty" in what you believe (Luke 1:4).

Have you ever wondered where your inner strength developed? Have you wondered about the people who may have passed you your intelligence, your fighting skills, and your survival instinct?

Keegan Kjeldsen hosts The Nietzsche Podcast and the Untimely Reflections (essentialsalts) YouTube channel — a deep four-year project working through Nietzsche, his forerunners back to the ancient world, and his afterlives in 20th- and 21st-century thought. He's also a doom metal guitarist with Destroyer of Light and Slumbering Sun, and the author of The Ritual Madness of Rock & Roll, a memoir-meets-aesthetics inquiry written on the road through Europe.________________I sat down with Keegan to work through his concept of übermodernism — what's “over and above” modernism, in the same Nietzschean spirit as the Übermensch is over and above man. We trace the history of “the modern” all the way back to Petrarch in the 14th century, work through Nietzsche's perspectivism and his critique of the genealogical fallacy, and ask where the next modernism is meant to come from. A conversation for anyone tired of fighting over whether Nietzsche belongs to the right, the left, or the postmodernists.

In today's readings, we hear about the death of Abner, and Fr. Mike points out how David publicly mourns Abner, and instructs his people to do the same.

DNA genealogy is one of the most misunderstood parts of family history research. A lot of people buy a test thinking it will hand them a finished family tree, point to every ancestor they ever had, and carry them back through the centuries with very little effort. That is not how it works. DNA testing can be very useful, but it does not replace research, nor does it magically tell the whole story on its own. What it does do is powerful. It can connect living relatives, confirm whether a family line is heading in the right direction, help solve cases of unknown parentage, and open doors that records alone may never open. It can also challenge long-held family stories, raise hard questions, and force people to rethink what they thought they knew. That is part of why DNA testing has become such a major part of genealogy. It gives researchers another kind of evidence, one that comes from biology rather than from paper. Still, the excitement around DNA has also created confusion. Many people do not really know what the companies are doing, what the results mean, or how reliable the information is. Some people think the test can see their whole family tree. Some think every company is doing the exact same thing. Some think the test can directly name ancestors from hundreds of years ago with no other work needed. Those ideas all miss what DNA genealogy actually is. At its core, DNA genealogy works by comparing your DNA to the DNA of other people who have tested and agreed to match inside a company's database. When the system finds stretches of DNA that you and another person share, it flags that person as a possible relative. The more DNA you share, the more likely the relationship is to be close. The less DNA you share, the more room there is for different possibilities. That is the heart of the process. Once you understand that, a lot of the mystery starts to clear up. These tests are not reading surnames out of your genes. They are not pulling a full family history out of your saliva. They are comparing your DNA to other living testers and showing where shared inherited segments appear. The genealogy work begins after that...

The Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and King to a Jewish audience after 400 years of silence between the testaments. Beginning with a revolutionary genealogy that includes five women with scandalous backgrounds, Matthew shows that Jesus came to create a new family for the broken. The book is structured around five major teaching sections that echo the Pentateuch, including the Sermon on the Mount, kingdom parables, and the Great Commission. Matthew contains more Old Testament references than any other New Testament book, deliberately connecting Jesus to Jewish prophecies and expectations. The Gospel concludes with the cross, resurrection, and Great Commission, challenging readers to submit to Jesus as King and live according to His upside-down kingdom principles.

Sixteen year old Jennifer Persia had everything going for her. She played saxophone in the school band, was on the color guard and was becoming a breakout athlete. As a freshman, she was on the varsity track team and medaled in a competition against mostly seniors.Then one quiet, Monday night, someone stole away everything she hoped to be, shattered a family and rocked a small town. On April 4th, 1994, an unknown killer, or killers, entered Jennifer's home and brutally murdered the sixteen year old over a matter of just $200.UPDATE After more than 30 years, DNA has conclusively identified Jennifer's killer.  Not only has her case been solved through the use of genetic genealogy, but it was also discovered that Jennifer was not the monster's only victim.  Twenty-four year old Marebeth Welsh, murdered five months before Jennifer, has also been identified as the victim of thirty-nine year old Francis Schooley.Submit a Tip - https://camdencountypros.org/unit/49Use promo code "Trace" to save 10% on your pass at CrimeCon.comFollowTEPod.comFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time"  Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Chasing Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #jenniferpersia #persia #magnolia #nj #newjersey #marebethwelsh #welsh #schooley #solved #DNABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.
