This time of year always stirs up reflection, and not just because summer is starting to peek around the corner. Memorial Day is here—a day that means different things to different people. For some, it's a long weekend. For others, it's deeply personal. But beyond the cookouts and parades, there's a story to tell. A history worth remembering. A reminder of sacrifice, and why it matters. So today, I want to take you on a thoughtful walk through the meaning, history, and personal connections behind Memorial Day. It's a good time to think about those who came before us—and what they gave up so that we could live with the freedoms we have today.

In the book of Genesis, there are few things more powerful than the spoken blessing handed down from fathers to their sons. Offering a blessing became integral to life in Israel, and it continues to play an important role in equipping the next generation. Through giving our blessing, we confirm our commitment to raise our children in Christ, and clarify their own relationship to the Lord.The sermon today is titled "Blessing Down."

Every family tree has some nuts and squirrels up in there. Maybe, for whatever reason, you blush when you think about your family tree. Jesus certainly could have.

I pulled this one from the box the other day—a postcard that's more than just a snapshot. It's a whole afternoon, frozen in place. I've looked at it a dozen times now, and I keep finding new things. The light on the red brick, the ivy climbing the walls, the quiet blur of someone mid-stride. It's not a staged photo. It feels lived in, like if I stood still long enough, I might hear the hum of a saxophone or catch the smell of espresso drifting out from a corner café. This is Greenwich Village, New York City. The card's from the 1960s, and it captures something that's hard to explain unless you've felt it yourself—this neighborhood's rhythm. The front shows a row of artists set up along the sidewalk, their work leaned up against the building as if it naturally belongs there. People wander past with curiosity, maybe looking for something to hang in a tiny walk-up apartment or just pausing to admire. And there's a red station wagon parked at the curb. Maybe the artist who drove it there hauled every one of those paintings in its back seat. Maybe someone was moving in—or out. That's how the Village was. A place of transitions. A place for the almost-famous, the nearly-there, the deeply passionate.

The 1930 U.S. Census captures America in an unsettled moment. The Roaring Twenties were winding down, but the Great Depression was just beginning to take hold. It's a census taken in the calm before the storm fully broke. A generation that had just emerged from the trauma of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic found itself navigating economic boom—and, soon after, one of the most devastating financial collapses in history. This makes the 1930 census especially valuable to genealogists and family historians. It not only shows us where people were and what they were doing, but it offers a final snapshot of prosperity for some, and for others, early signs of hardship. When read alongside the 1920 census, it helps us ask important questions: Did families move in search of work? Were more people renting than owning? Did younger generations start their adult lives in very different ways from their parents? It's also a census that teeters between old and new. Traditional jobs and family structures still dominated, but you can see modern America coming into view, especially in cities. With the next census in 1940 capturing a nation preparing for war, the 1930 census stands as a middle chapter in a story of massive change.

If you've never heard of “sunk cost fallacy,” I'll take this opportunity to explain it. It's a phenomenon that happens when you've invested in something so that you're unwilling to stop pursuing that thing. Among gamblers, the idea is that if they keep betting another few bucks, eventually, they'll win. They've sunk too much into their evening of gambling to walk away without a win. Sunk cost fallacy isn't just about gambling, though. It rears its head everywhere. You'll see it in someone unwilling to sell a car they've invested a lot into because they won't recoup the value. You'll see it in managers who refuse to give up on a system that just isn't working for the company, but they keep pursuing it because they've sunk time and money into that system and feel they can't turn back now...

We've now arrived at the 1920 U.S. Census—the first one taken after the end of World War I. This moment in history holds a lot beneath the surface. If your ancestors were alive during this time, they had just come through a pandemic (the 1918 flu), experienced wartime hardship, and were witnessing a country beginning to shift from rural traditions into a modern age. The census taken in January 1920 captures Americans right as the Roaring Twenties were warming up. I always find this census one of the more reflective ones. It's not just data—it's people picking up the pieces, building again, sometimes moving to new places, sometimes adjusting to deep losses. And that comes through in the questions that were asked and the answers your ancestors gave. Whether you're tracing great-grandparents, immigrants, or just curious about the records, the 1920 census is rich with clues...

We've made it to the 1910 census, and I have to say, this one feels like a bit of a turning point. If you've been following along through each census with me, you've probably noticed how much the country has been changing—and how those changes show up in the records. The 1900 census gave us a lot, but the 1910 one steps things up in a way that's easy to miss unless you really sit with it. What's always fascinated me about these records is how they stop being just lists of names when you start reading between the lines. You begin to see the stories. You see families grow, move, lose someone, gain someone. You start noticing how many mothers answered heartbreaking questions about how many children they had and how many were still living. Or how people changed jobs—or didn't—and what that might've meant. These records speak if you know how to listen. So whether you're deep into your family tree or just curious about what these old government forms can reveal, the 1910 census is worth exploring. It holds more than you might expect. Let's take a look at what makes it unique, what new information you'll find, and how it can help you bring your ancestors' stories to life...

There's a certain charm to scrolling through digital records at midnight, coffee in hand, uncovering new ancestors with the click of a button. But once you've collected a few dozen census pages, probate files, and handwritten family notes, you might start to feel a little… buried. Tabs multiply, download folders fill up, and suddenly, you're not sure where that one 1870 census record went—or whether you ever saved it in the first place. That's where paper steps in—not as a step backward, but as a grounding force in your research. Building a paper-based family history folder (or several) gives your work structure, clarity, and even a bit of beauty. It's not just about printing out documents. It's about creating something you can flip through, revisit, and share. Let me show you why I returned to paper—and why it's become one of the most valuable tools in my own research...

Mother's Day. For most of us, it's a Sunday in May marked by greeting cards, flowers, long-distance phone calls, and maybe a brunch reservation you made weeks ago to avoid the rush. It's a sweet, sentimental holiday—a time to pause and show appreciation for the women who raised us, loved us, and often kept the whole family running quietly behind the scenes. But this day we all know and love didn't just appear out of nowhere. It's not ancient like Christmas or rooted in a religious calendar like Easter. Mother's Day, as we celebrate it in the United States, has a very specific origin story. And that story is tangled up in heartache, determination, public health reform, the Civil War, and—believe it or not—a bit of corporate frustration. So let's take a few minutes together and trace it back to where it all began...

Few things capture the feeling of summer like a stop at Dairy Queen. Whether it's a soft-serve cone after a ballgame or a burger on the way home from church, DQ has been stitched into the fabric of American family life for generations. But like so many beloved things from the mid-20th century, the Dairy Queen we grew up with has changed—and one of the clearest signs of that change is a sign itself. If you've ever passed through Grafton, West Virginia, you might've seen her—perched on the roof of the local Dairy Queen. A girl in a white parka, mittens on, holding up a soft-serve cone like a beacon. Her nickname? The Eskimo Girl. And she's the last of her kind, still right where she started in 1957. Her story—and the story of Dairy Queen itself—isn't just a slice of brand history. It's about small towns, family traditions, design, and how even the quietest fixtures can become part of our lives in ways we don't always notice—until they're gone...

I'm holding a postcard today that feels different from most of the others in my collection. It doesn't show a grand hotel, a busy beach, or a flashy tourist attraction. No, this one shows something quieter—two hand-built huts sitting in the dirt beneath a wide Texas sky. They're simple. The one on the left looks to be made of thick mud with a thick palm-thatched roof. The one on the right? A little taller and more open, woven from sticks and palm fronds. Between them, a crooked tree leans toward the camera, its branches rustling above a bench made from a rough-cut board. There's no pavement, no electricity, no cars—just silence. The caption on the back reads: “Palm leaves, mud, and branches of trees are about all that is necessary to build La Chozas (The Huts). These homes are now very rare and are known to withstand severe storms and rains.” That line stayed with me: “These homes are now very rare.” Podcast Notes: https://ancestralfindings.com/the-la-choza-huts-postcards-from-the-past/ Ancestral Findings Podcast: https://ancestralfindings.com/podcast This Week's Free Genealogy Lookups: https://ancestralfindings.com/lookups Genealogy Giveaway: https://ancestralfindings.com/giveaway Genealogy eBooks: https://ancestralfindings.com/ebooks Follow Along: https://www.facebook.com/AncestralFindings https://www.instagram.com/ancestralfindings https://www.youtube.com/ancestralfindings Support Ancestral Findings: https://ancestralfindings.com/support https://ancestralfindings.com/paypal  #Genealogy #AncestralFindings #GenealogyClips  

The 1900 U.S. Census marks the beginning of a new era. It was the first census of the 20th century—and it knew it. By 1900, America had changed dramatically. Cities were growing faster than ever. Immigrants from Italy, Poland, Russia, and other parts of Eastern Europe were arriving in record numbers. The American frontier was nearly closed. Families were moving, industries were booming, and the pace of life had quickened. This census tried to capture all of that. And for genealogists, it's one of the richest federal records available. With just one census page, you can estimate a birthdate, find an immigration year, see how many children a woman had, and even figure out how long a couple had been married. In a single glance, you get a snapshot of relationships, household structure, and a family's trajectory at the start of a new century...

The 1890 U.S. Census is one of the most heartbreaking gaps in American records. It leaves a missing chapter for family historians—twenty years between 1880 and 1900 when so much changed. Children grew up and left home, elders passed on, families relocated, and new generations were born. But the record meant to capture it all is mostly gone. The story of how we lost the 1890 census and how we've learned to work around it still has much to teach us.

The 1870 U.S. Census might be one of the most meaningful records ever created in the history of the country. For the first time, every person—Black, white, free-born, formerly enslaved, immigrant, farmer, child, war widow—was recorded by name on the main schedule. No longer confined to tally marks or separated into slave schedules, formerly enslaved individuals finally had their names written down as citizens. This was the country's first full census after the Civil War. Reconstruction was underway, freedmen's schools and churches were forming, and the railroad was pushing west. The country was healing in some ways and breaking in others. But the names were there now, and for family historians, that changed everything.

As we continue through our The Forgotten Seconds series—exploring the lives of vice presidents who never became president—we now turn to one of the most unusual figures ever to hold the office. Richard Mentor Johnson, a frontier-born politician from Kentucky, lived a life of contradictions. Celebrated as a hero of the War of 1812 and known for his plain appeal to common voters, he was also scorned by many in his party for his controversial personal life and lack of discipline while in office. Though he rose to the second-highest post in the nation, Johnson never reached the presidency, and his legacy has largely faded from memory. His story begins on the western edge of Virginia and ends in political obscurity—but in between, it reveals a great deal about early American identity, race, class, and politics...

Daniel D. Tompkins was born on June 21, 1774, in the town of Scarsdale in Westchester County, New York. He came into a world still under British rule, just two years before the colonies would declare their independence. His family roots traced back to England, where the name Tompkins derived from a form of “Little Thomas's son,” a patronymic surname that can be found as far back as the 1300s in Kent. The Tompkins family likely came to the American colonies in the mid-1600s during the great wave of English migration to the New World. His father, Jonathan Griffin Tompkins, born in 1729, was a well-respected local figure—a farmer, a judge, and a supporter of the patriot cause. He played a civic role in the Scarsdale community during and after the Revolutionary War. His mother, Sarah Ann Hyatt, came from the Hyatt family of New York. The Hyatts, like the Tompkins family, had early English roots, with possible Dutch ancestry in some branches, common in the Hudson River Valley. The Hyatt and Tompkins lines came together in a home that valued faith, education, and public service...

One day seems like the perfect day for some fall photography—the leaves are beautiful, the sun is shining—but you don't have the time that day because life's other demands are calling. The next day? It's snowing! That's a picture-perfect example of how opportunities can truly be fleeting. Sometimes, we miss photographic opportunities because we think, “It'll be there another day, I can always come back to this.” But, the problem is, that isn't always the case. Seasons change—sometimes rapidly before we realize what is happening. We pack up and move across the country, then look back at where we came from and recognize that we missed opportunities while still there...

The 1860 U.S. Census might be one of the most emotionally charged documents in early American history. On the surface, it looks similar to 1850—names, ages, occupations, birthplaces, property values. But just beneath that is a country on the brink of war. It was taken in a moment when the United States was technically still whole, but very much coming apart. If you're researching ancestors during this time, the 1860 census offers a powerful glimpse into their world—whether they were preparing for conflict, trying to make a living, enslaved, recently freed, or pushing west toward opportunity.

There's one big aspect of creativity that tends to get lost in the shuffle of everything else. We spend a lot of time thinking about how to think in innovative ways or learning new techniques and approaches to art. In all of this discussion about creativity and how to be creative, we lose sight of the fundamental fact that creativity is often about mindset. That old “mind over matter” saying rings true, I think. Aside from techniques, skills, knowledge, and new ways of thinking, it's the desire or the motivation to be creative that is the thing that drives us to make photographs. The thing is, it's not the easiest thing in the world to always be in that positive, motivated mindset, especially in this day and age with so much happening in the world. We must always remember that overcoming challenges and motivating ourselves to be creative starts with our view of the world we live in...

By the time the 1850 U.S. Census was taken, the United States was no longer a slow-growing collection of coastal settlements. It was a booming, restless, coast-to-coast land of contradictions. The population had reached over 23 million people. The western frontier had stretched all the way to California. Cities were growing fast, but most people still lived on farms. The railroad and steamboat had made the country feel smaller, even as it grew larger. And in the background, tension over slavery and statehood was rising like a tide that couldn't be turned back. Amid all this change, the federal government made one small but radical adjustment to the census: it began listing the names of every free person in the household. For family historians, it's the moment where the lights come on.

Here's something I've discussed before, though when I last spoke about it, it was a bit different. It's the idea that we must get to know our surroundings or subjects to photograph them most effectively. Today, I'm framing it a bit differently because we photographers have a habit of always going after something new. New places, new subjects—we want to expose ourselves to as much new and unique as possible. It's all in the name of creating new and exceptional photographs. Most of us believe that if we're seeing as many new things as possible, we're photographing new things that may haven't been photographed as much by other photographers. To an extent, this is a good thing. Where would photography be if none of us ever left our backyards? Most of the world wouldn't have been explored through the lens!

The 1840 U.S. Census might be the most overlooked turning point in early American recordkeeping. On the surface, it still looks like the older ones—just one name listed, a page full of tick marks, and plenty of room for guesswork. But this was a census taken on the edge of transformation. The United States was about to change fast. Railroads were spreading. The telegraph was just a few years away. Families were scattering across the continent. And yet, there was still one more census to be taken the old way—by head of household, with ages in neat little boxes. If you're working with ancestors in the 1840s, this census may be the last breadcrumb before the trail suddenly gets clearer in 1850. But even though the names are still missing for most people, the 1840 census hides some of the best leads in early American research—especially if you take your time with it.

By 1830, the United States had reached a new kind of maturity. The Revolution was no longer in living memory for some—though a surprising number of veterans were still alive and tucked into households across the country. Andrew Jackson was president, the Erie Canal had transformed trade in the North, and the South was leaning heavily on slavery and cotton. The country was bigger, louder, more divided, and more connected than ever before. And right in the middle of all that, the federal government rolled out its fifth census. This one looked a little closer. It counted a little smarter. And for those of us digging into family history, it quietly handed us some of the most useful clues of the early census years.

Adaptability—Being adaptable is one of the key parts of being a photographer. There are a few different ways to look at this, too. Being flexible can apply to the vagaries of daily life, the things we photograph, and even the techniques and styles we use to create our photographs. On the day-to-day level, being adaptable means being able to roll with whatever the day throws at you. Sometimes, this means you expected the day to be sunny and warm. Still, it turns out cold and rainy—thus, you need to adapt, which could mean bringing extra gear to accommodate different lighting conditions or protecting your equipment against moisture. This can also mean your car breaks down on the way to your location. For most of us, the hassle and annoyance of such a thing would stop us from taking photographs. But is it possible to explore your immediate area while you're waiting for the tow truck? Being flexible means not coming home empty-handed, no matter what happens to alter your best-laid plans...

The 1820 U.S. Census rolled out during what historians often call the "Era of Good Feelings"—a peaceful name for a time that was anything but simple. The War of 1812 had ended just a few years earlier. James Monroe was president, and the country was pushing its borders westward at full speed. Tensions over slavery, expansion, and power were beginning to heat up, even though the surface looked calm. The 1820 census is a small turning point for those tracing family histories. It's still far from perfect—only the head of household is named—but it gives us more than the earlier counts. And if you know how to read between the lines and pair it with other records, it can open up many doors...

In 1810, the United States was only 34 years into its existence as a nation and was still figuring things out—including how to count its people. That year marked just the third official census, and while the goal was simple on paper—get a headcount of everyone in the country—the results were far from perfect. If you've ever looked through the 1810 census while researching your family, you know it's not exactly a goldmine. Entire areas are missing. Everyone in the household except the head is just a number. It's more frustrating than helpful sometimes. But understanding what was going on in the country at the time gives you a better sense of why it turned out the way it did—and what you can still pull from it...

Before the White House, before political parties fully took shape, and before America had even decided how it wanted to govern itself, there was George Clinton. He didn't wear a powdered wig for fashion. He wore it through gun smoke and battle. A wartime general, a power-hungry governor, and one of the longest-serving public officials in early American history, Clinton seemed destined to be more than just a sidekick. Yet despite holding the office of vice president under not one but two presidents, he never claimed the top job for himself. Why? Was it age? Politics? Health? Or was it that Clinton didn't want to play by the rules of a system he never fully trusted?

Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller was born into wealth so vast that most Americans in the early 20th century couldn't comprehend it. Born on July 8, 1908, in Bar Harbor, Maine, his life began with a silver spoon—and possibly a silver platter. But behind the art collections, philanthropy, and power dinners at Pocantico Hills was a complex man with ambitions that extended far beyond the trappings of wealth. He wanted to be president. He tried several times. But despite a pedigree that read like royalty and a political resume that dwarfed many of his peers, he never entirely made it...

April 1st often arrives with a mixture of groans and eye-rolls, especially for those who have been on the receiving end of thoughtless pranks. While some brush it off as harmless fun, others know the sting of being caught off guard—sometimes in ways that leave lasting discomfort. Behind the jokes, however, is a centuries-long story filled with cultural shifts, misunderstandings, and changing attitudes toward humor and public behavior. Whether you appreciate the tradition or dislike it entirely, April Fools' Day has a rich and complicated past worth exploring.

You've probably seen it if you've ever driven down a sleepy road in the American South—maybe through Georgia, Louisiana, or northern Florida. Long, ghostly strands of gray-green threads dangle from oak branches like forgotten tinsel after a storm. Spanish moss sways in the breeze with a rhythm all its own, creating a scene that's equal parts romantic and haunting. It's one of those things you notice, even if you don't know what it is. But what exactly is Spanish moss? Is it alive? Is it harmful to trees? Why is it called “Spanish” moss when it has nothing to do with Spain—and it certainly doesn't look like moss as we know it? As it turns out, this mysterious plant has a backstory as intriguing as its appearance. From colonial rivalry to folk tales, from mattresses to medicine, Spanish moss has been tangled into people's lives for centuries.

Lineage societies have long been a cornerstone of genealogical research, offering a structured way for individuals to connect with their ancestry, preserve historical records, and participate in exclusive communities that honor their lineage. These societies, often formed around shared heritage from specific historical events or regions, require rigorous documentation to establish membership, making them both invaluable resources and, at times, difficult organizations to join. While lineage societies provide numerous benefits—such as access to preserved records, opportunities for scholarly research, and a sense of historical identity—they also have challenges, including exclusivity, financial costs, and historical controversies. Let's explore both the strengths and limitations of lineage societies, analyze their role in genealogical research, and examine their future in an evolving genealogical landscape...

Dallas Willard challenges us to "ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life." John Mark Comer was so moved by this line, he titled his book "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry." We wonder why we can't hear the voice of God, or find his presence in the busy-ness of life. Perhaps the still, small voice still speaks in those inner rooms and deserted places Jesus chose to frequent throughout his life. Could it be that "doing more" is actually standing in the way of "being with"?The sermon today is titled "Wasting Time With God." It is the eighth installment in our series "Follow Me", and the fourth in the sub-series "Be With Jesus." The Scripture reading is from Luke 10:38-42 (ESV).

Our ongoing series, The Forgotten Seconds, explores the lives and legacies of vice presidents who never reached the presidency. These individuals played crucial roles in shaping American history, yet their contributions are often overshadowed by those who held the highest office. Today, we continue with Hubert Humphrey, a man whose influence on civil rights, social policy, and American politics remains significant despite his near-miss at the presidency. Hubert Horatio Humphrey Jr., the 38th vice president of the United States, left an indelible mark on American politics. He was a champion of civil rights, a key figure in the Democratic Party, and a man whose career was shaped by both triumph and controversy.
