Diana and Nicole speak with Jan Joyce, AG, CG, CGL, who developed and coordinates the new virtual institute course, "Merging & Separating Identities: Strategies and Tactics to Solve." Jan explains that the most common mistake genealogists make is failing to recognize they have a "same-name problem" and assuming multiple records belong to a single person. She notes that the challenge of merging and separating identity cases (M/S) is accelerating because of more digitized records, the explosion of DNA testing, and the rise of AI tools. Jan shares her own breakthrough M/S case, which involved a woman named Susan Gliddon in three different geographic locations, and an example of a student who had mistakenly merged two different William Thompsons for five years. Listeners learn that if they suspect an M/S case, they should immediately stop adding information to that part of their tree and begin systematically recording every descriptor for the individual into a spreadsheet. The multi-week course teaches a rigorous, step-by-step methodology, including the use of identity dossiers, timelines, and correlation techniques, using a Common Data Set to focus on learning the techniques themselves. Students gain the confidence to untangle complex cases and transform their research approach by learning to apply systematic methods to any genealogical research problem.

How can organizations become more adaptable in a world of constant change? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Phil Le-Brun to explore why traditional change efforts often fail and what companies should do to succeed in today's complex environment. Phil introduces the metaphor of the octopus organization, a model for agility and continuous learning. He contrasts it with the outdated tin man approach that views people as interchangeable parts in a machine. Kevin and Phil discuss the difference between complicated and complex systems, emphasizing why leaders must move beyond linear plans and embrace learning as the path to change. They also discuss how clarity, ownership, and curiosity form the foundation of adaptability and why leaders must foster environments where these traits can thrive. Phil's Story: Phil Le-Brun is the co-author of The Octopus Organization: A Guide to Thriving in a World of Continuous Transformation with Jana Werner. He is an executive in residence at Amazon Web Services and a former corporate VP and international CIO at McDonald's Corporation. At McDonald's, he co-led the consolidation and modernization of technology across thirty-eight thousand restaurants globally. In his current role, Phil engages with Fortune 500 executives and their teams and with public-sector customers to mentor, advise, and guide them on their journeys to become more adaptable organizations. He is a sought-after speaker and has been featured in Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian. https://www.theoctopusorganization.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillebrun/ This Episode is brought to you by...

This episode features Virginia Pratt, who brings decades of expertise to the discussion, including five years on the FamilySearch Research Wiki Team and a bachelor's degree in Family History from BYU. Virginia joins Nicole and Diana to discuss the essential, free online genealogical resource: the FamilySearch Research Wiki. Nicole asks Virginia to explain the Wiki's purpose, access methods, and how to navigate the main page, noting that it should be used for finding information on localities and record types, not individuals. Diana then asks Virginia to explain locality pages, where Virginia details what researchers can find at the country, state, and county levels regarding record keeping and jurisdictions. The conversation transitions to topic pages, where Virginia explains how they help genealogists find background information on records for specific areas, including online resources, historical context, and language-specific terms. Finally, Nicole asks Virginia to walk listeners through a practical example of using the Wiki for research in the John J. Hoover case study, demonstrating how to find information about records available in Henry County, Indiana, and Otero County, Colorado. Listeners will learn how to use the FamilySearch Research Wiki to find explanations of record types, develop effective research strategies, and successfully locate records for their ancestors worldwide.

Die CDU hofft 2026 auf Erfolge. Auch bei Landtagswahlen in BW und RLP. In Stuttgart trifft sich die Partei zum Bundesparteitag. Politikwissenschaftlerin Ursula Münch im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Andreas Böhnisch.

The episode opens with Diana and Nicole catching up on their latest work, focusing on testing AI models for accuracy in handwritten-text transcription tasks. The hosts then discuss the novel TransAtlantic by Irish author Colum McCann and what family historians can learn from its structure to write better family narratives. Diana explains that the novel views the immigration story from the Irish perspective, following the fictional character Lily Duggan and three subsequent generations, with the prose connecting each fictional character to a true story and an actual historical figure. Nicole shares the first historical snapshot, covering Lily Duggan's 1845 meeting with the formerly enslaved abolitionist Frederick Douglass in Ireland. She then details the 1919 Atlantic crossing of Lily's daughter Emily and granddaughter Lottie, where they witness the first non-stop transatlantic flight by aviators Alcock and Brown. Diana picks up the thread by discussing Lottie's later meeting with US Senator George Mitchell during his 1998 peace brokering visit to Northern Ireland, and the final chapter, where Lily's great-granddaughter, Hannah, possesses the unopened letter that connects all the women. Listeners learn three key ideas for writing their own family stories: use a focal object passed down through generations, consider historical characters an ancestor may have encountered, and research important historical events in the time and place their ancestors lived to understand how those events may have impacted them.

In this episode, hosts Diana and Nicole share a personal and informative journey as they visit their Love County, Oklahoma, roots to walk in the footsteps of Diana's ancestors, Richard and Nancy (Briscoe) Frazier. Diana recounts the lives of her 2nd great-grandparents, discussing their survival through the Civil War in the Ozarks, Richard's service as a teamster for the Confederacy, and their eventual migration from Missouri to Texas and then across the Red River into the Chickasaw Nation (Burneyville) in the 1890s. Nicole shares details from their visits to the Burneyville Cemetery, where Richard and Nancy are buried alongside two of their children. She provides an analysis of their headstones, including the epitaphs and the early 20th-century Christian symbolism, and discusses a treasured family photo of Nancy with her grandchildren, Ettie Belle and Bert Harris. Diana then recounts her visit to the Love County Historical Society Pioneer Museum. She highlights how local museums provide essential context, noting the replicas of ferries—like Tuck's Ferry—that the Frazier family would have used to cross the Red River. Diana shares her experience meeting the curator, Laquitta, and discovering an obituary for one of Nancy's sons, Colon Frazier. Listeners will learn the immense value of visiting the physical locations of their ancestors' lives and using cemetery and museum research to bring their family history to life.

This episode focuses on the exciting custom clustering feature now available in Ancestry's Pro Tools. Diana introduces the tool, explaining how it allows for the strategic targeting of specific ancestral lines, offering more flexibility than the original clustering tool. She describes Ancestry's process, which looks for matches sharing 65 cM to 1,300 cM with the user, and then finds those matches that also share at least 20 cM with each other. Nicole discusses the key benefits of using custom clusters: they help you hone in on specific ancestral lines, quickly identify groups descending from common ancestors, and work more efficiently at distant generations. Before creating a cluster, Diana reviews critical points from Ancestry, noting that clusters expire after 30 days unless saved to a group and you are limited to 25 clusters in your history. Nicole shares Ancestry's recommended centimorgan ranges based on the generational distance of the ancestor you are researching. She then walks through the four steps for creating a cluster: choosing a target match, selecting four additional "sidekick" matches, setting the centimorgan range, and generating the cluster. Diana provides a real-world example from her Cline family research, detailing how she used a custom cluster with a 20-50 cM range to test a hypothesis about the parentage of John C. Cline. The results successfully separated her matches into distinct sub-clusters that provide additional evidence for her research. Listeners learn practical tips for success, including saving clusters strategically, trying different target and sidekick match combinations, and systematically tracking all experiments in a research log like Airtable. This powerful strategy helps you apply a new approach to breaking down your DNA research brick walls. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Nicole and Diana open the episode by discussing what they are currently working on, including their projects for the 14-day challenge. They then turn to the challenge of family history research when conflicting dates appear for an ancestor. Diana explains that because original records may not exist, genealogists must rely on sources created later in a person's life, which often do not agree. Diana uses a case study of her relative, Mary Elizabeth (Royston) Slagle, to show how to analyze and correlate evidence to find the most accurate birth date. They examine numerous records for Mary, starting with several U.S. census records from 1840 to 1910, which provide conflicting birth years. They discuss the value of the marriage bond for Mary's 1855 marriage to Joseph Slagle, analyzing why her father acting as surety does not prove she was underage in this specific Alabama instance. Finally, they look at conflicting death records—a newspaper obituary, death certificate, and gravestone—which offer yet more dates. By correlating all the evidence, including Thomas Beverly Royston's residency and land records, Diana concludes that the most reliable birth date is May 4, 1835, in DeKalb County, Alabama. Listeners learn to carefully analyze each piece of evidence, its informant, and its reliability to reach a sound genealogical conclusion. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

In this episode, Diana and Nicole discuss the crucial process of writing a formal research report for the ongoing case study to identify the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana explains that a report is essential for synthesizing details, bringing a research phase to a close, and providing next steps. She outlines the project's objective—to find a candidate for Cynthia's father in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1830s—and notes the constraints, particularly the missing early Cass County deed records. They review previous research, including the systematic elimination of 13 Georgia Dillard candidates and the use of DNA analysis that suggests Elijah Dillard as a probable brother. The hosts share the heart of the research: the Cass County investigation. Diana details how four Dillard households found in the 1840 census were investigated and ultimately eliminated as Cynthia's family line. Nicole then reveals the major breakthrough: an analysis of the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery identifies three new, high-priority father candidates who drew land lots specifically in Cass County: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Roliver (Toliver) Dillard. The episode concludes with Diana's suggestions for future research, including targeted documentary work on these three men and finding a Y-DNA tester for the Elijah Dillard line.

What does it look like to heal your relationship with money and align your finances with your deepest values?In this episode of The SYNARCHY Podcast, I sit down with Diana Gisel Yañez, CFP®, a money coach at All the Colors and wealth manager at Natural Investments.Through her unique, trauma-informed lens, Diana helps women of color entrepreneurs and impact investors understand why they do what they do with money - and how to create sustainable, value-aligned financial systems for themselves, their families, and their communities.Together, we explore:

This episode addresses the importance of methodically logging research and creating source citations as you follow a research plan. Diana shares her strategy for quickly creating citations for FamilySearch records, emphasizing the value of creating the citation first to understand the source and ensure it's done. Nicole explains how she sets up and fills out her research log using the Research Like a Pro Airtable template, which includes features for grouping, sorting, and linking records to a timeline. Diana walks listeners through an example by detailing how she researched a potential parent for Cynthia (Dillard) Royston, Elizabeth Dillard, finding her in a 1838 Cass County, Georgia deed. Diana then demonstrates her method for creating the FamilySearch source citation, highlighting the process of capturing the digital layer (URL and access date) first and then constructing the physical layer with details from the record image. Nicole also discusses her use of Google AI Studio for transcribing and a separate AI for abstracting the record. This research confirmed Elizabeth Dillard was from South Carolina, eliminating her as a candidate for Cynthia's mother. Diana shares that her other candidate was also eliminated, and she now shifts her research focus to the 1832 land lottery. Listeners learn a clear, systematic process for research logging, creating detailed source citations, and incorporating AI into their transcription and abstracting workflow.

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss the crucial "Research Planning" stage of the Research Like a Pro process in the fourth part of their series on the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Nicole begins by emphasizing the importance of creating a thoughtful research plan rather than haphazardly searching records. Diana then walks through the specific steps she takes for this case study. She states her objective, which is to discover a candidate for Cynthia Dillard's father residing in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1830s. Listeners hear her summary of known facts for Cynthia, her husband Thomas B. Royston, and a probable relative, Elijah Dillard, who was identified through DNA. Nicole shares the background information she gathered on Cass County, Georgia, including its formation, its role in the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery, and the impact of the Civil War. Diana presents her hypothesis, suggesting that Cynthia and Thomas B. Royston married in Cass County around 1833 and that two Dillard household heads from the 1840 census are potential candidates for Cynthia's father. Finally, she shares her full list of identified sources from her Cass County locality guide and concludes with her prioritized research plan, which starts with Census, Marriage, and Land Records. Listeners learn how to systematically move from a broad objective and known facts to a focused, prioritized plan for complex family history research. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

The episode centers on the process of locality research for Cass County, Georgia, as Diana continues her project to find the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana explains her research objective is to discover a candidate for Cynthia's father residing in the county during the 1830s. Nicole discusses the importance of narrowing the time frame for a locality guide, focusing on the county's earliest years from 1832 to 1860. They then compare their process for utilizing the Deep Research capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to create the guide, sharing their query and noting the varying results from Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Diana and Nicole discuss two crucial findings that impacted their research strategy. They detail the county's name change from Cass to Bartow in 1861 due to General Lewis Cass's Union sympathies and the Confederacy's desire to honor Colonel Francis S. Bartow. They also review the record loss event from the courthouse burning in 1864, explaining that many records like deed and marriage books were saved by the heroic efforts of County Clerk Tom Word. Additionally, they summarize the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery, which was the method for distributing land and attracting settlers to the area. Listeners learn how to efficiently use AI to create a comprehensive locality guide and gain valuable insight into how events like name changes, record loss, and land distribution fundamentally shape genealogical records.

This episode focuses on the second step of the Research Like a Pro process: creating a timeline and analyzing the sources in the ongoing quest to find the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana begins by detailing the research objective for this phase: to discover a candidate for Cynthia's father residing in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1830s. Diana discusses compiling a timeline for Cynthia, analyzing her census records, and explaining why she estimates Cynthia's birth year as 1815, based on her marriage and the birth of her oldest child. Nicole introduces the section on Elijah Dillard of Alabama, a possible genetic brother to Cynthia, whom Diana includes in the timeline for comparison. Diana reviews Elijah's records and estimates his birth year to be close to Cynthia's. Listeners learn how to critically evaluate conflicting ages in census records and use other family events to narrow down a probable birth year. Diana then adds the unresearched Cass County, Georgia, Dillards from the 1840 census to the timeline, identifying Elizabeth and John Dillard as the most likely parents based on their age. She notes a second Elijah Dillard in the Cass County group, which prompts her to use geographic identifiers in the timeline to distinguish the two men. Diana concludes with a source analysis of the federal census records, discussing their value as original records and the difference between direct evidence and undetermined information. She also observes that the proximity of John, William, and Elijah in the 1840 census district suggests a connection, while Elizabeth's location requires further research. Listeners see how to use timelines to organize existing research and how initial record analysis can lead to new research questions. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Nicole and Diana give an overview of Diana's multi-phase research to discover the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana first reviews four past phases of her research. She discusses Phase 1, which initially focused on George W. Dillard as a strong candidate, and Phase 2, which identified and eliminated ten other Dillard candidates in the area. Both of these documentary-based hypotheses are eventually disproven. She then outlines Phase 3, where she successfully tests and disproves a false ThruLine DNA hypothesis that suggested Hopson Milner was the father. Next, Phase 4 adds DNA analysis to the quest, leading to a cluster of matches with a most recent common ancestor of Elijah Dillard, who is a possible brother or cousin to Cynthia. The project then pivots to Phase 5, based on a new record that places Cynthia's husband, Thomas B. Royston, in Cass County, Georgia, around the likely time of their marriage. This new location in Cass County, where early records were destroyed by fire, provides a new research objective: to discover a Dillard candidate residing there in the 1830s. Listeners learn how to methodically work through a complex brick wall by testing and eliminating both documentary and DNA hypotheses in a focused, systematic process.

Tim & Tim discuss how to handle a windfall or inheritance with clarity emotionally, financially, and strategically during the biggest wealth transfer in U.S. history. This episode is brought to you by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA). Episode Summary Handling a windfall or inheritance isn't just about the money—it's an emotional, relational, and identity-level shift. Whether it's an inheritance, equity payout, stock options vesting, or another financial surprise, the "right" next step can feel overwhelming. Many people think the challenge is how to invest a large sum… but the real challenge often begins much earlier: Who am I now that money is no longer the limiting factor? In this episode, Tim Ulbrich, PharmD, and Tim Baker, CFP®, RICP®, RLP® break down how to prepare for, navigate, and thoughtfully plan through sudden wealth. They talk about the emotional side of receiving money, how to avoid rushed decisions, the importance of building the right team, tax considerations, and how to align a windfall with your goals, values, and relationships. With the largest wealth transfer in U.S. history underway, this is a conversation every generation needs to hear. If you've received a windfall, expect one, or simply want to understand how to handle one wisely, this episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and make decisions you won't regret. What you'll learn in this episode: Why sudden wealth creates emotional, identity, and relational shifts—not just financial ones The most common types of windfalls and why they require different planning strategies How to avoid rushed decisions and use a "90-day pause" to regain clarity The key professionals you need on your team before making major moves How taxes, investment priorities, and giving strategies change when a windfall enters the plan Mentioned on the Show Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk by Cameron Huddleston Cerulli Associates "Great Wealth Transfer" data "Die With Zero" by Bill Perkins YFP Episode: 5 Key Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Financial Planner

Diana and Nicole begin the episode by chatting about what they have been working on in their research. Diana then introduces the main topic, the fascinating case of John Royston, an ancestor who ran away as a 19-year-old apprentice in Virginia in 1770. They discuss the detailed advertisement placed in The Virginia Gazette by his master, Samuel Daniel, which provides a physical description, a list of his clothes, and mentions his skills as a chair maker and blacksmith. Diana shares how she uses AI tools to generate images based on the ad's description and, more importantly, to add historical context. The hosts discuss the information Diana gathered from AI regarding the apprentice system in Colonial Virginia and the significance of John's clothing—a working-class frieze coat paired with a "new broadcloath waistcoat and breeches" of "pretty fine cloth." The AI's analysis suggests this attire points to John having a middle-class social status and that he planned his escape carefully to maintain a respectable appearance. Diana highlights how the 1770 advertisement is crucial for connecting John to his father, Richard Wyatt Royston, in the records of a "burned county."

Diana and Nicole open the episode by sharing a listener spotlight that details a compelling 1867 divorce case and its complications regarding a wife's dower rights. Diana then introduces Marylynn Salmon's book, Women and the Law of Property in Early America, which serves as an excellent guide for genealogists researching female ancestors in the colonial and early national eras. They discuss how understanding the law behind our ancestors' actions in deeds, probate, and court records is essential. The book, covering 1750 to 1830, traces a gradual extension of wives' ability to own and control property after the Revolution, highlighting that both ideological and economic considerations were forces of change. The hosts explore the book's structure and its focus on how law functioned in practice across key jurisdictions, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina. They discuss crucial legal concepts such as a married woman's status as a feme covert, who generally could not sell property or enter into contracts. This led to statutes like the feme sole trader act in Pennsylvania and varying regional approaches to Conveyances and Divorce and Separation. They also examine Separate Estates, which were handled by Chancery Courts in some colonies but opposed by Puritan ideals in New England, and Provision for Widows (dower rights). Listeners learn that they can gain new insights into their female ancestors' property records by applying the information from this book, even recommending that if their ancestor's jurisdiction is not mentioned, they should look at a neighboring state's section to find the governing laws.

Tim & Tim discuss whether to pay off your mortgage early or invest, breaking down math, mindset, and goals for 2025's financial landscape. This episode is brought to you by First Horizon. Episode Summary In this episode of the YFP podcast, co-hosts Tim Ulbrich, PharmD, and Tim Baker, CFP®, RICP®, RLP® revisit the frequently asked question: 'Should I pay off my mortgage early or invest the difference?' They discuss how the changing financial landscape, including rising interest rates, market volatility, and inflation, impacts this decision in 2025. They explore the math, emotional factors, and personal financial goals to provide a balanced approach. What you'll learn in this episode: How to evaluate whether paying off your mortgage early or investing the difference makes more sense in today's higher-rate environment. Why the math (interest rates, investment returns, tax impact) and the emotion (stress, freedom, flexibility) both matter when making this decision. How shifts in interest rates, inflation, and cash flow pressures since 2018 change the calculus for pharmacists in 2025. The role of discipline and behavior—why "investing the difference" only works if you actually do it. How a financial planner helps balance data and emotion to build a plan that aligns with your goals, values, and risk tolerance.

Resistance to change isn't your enemy — it's energy. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share why resistance is actually a good sign that people care, and how leaders can use that energy to create positive momentum. We'll cover: Why resistance is natural — even in changes we choose ourselves What most leaders get wrong when facing pushback How to acknowledge and value resistance (without giving in to it) How to turn resistance into engagement and better results When people resist a change, it means they care. Learn to see resistance as an opportunity, not an obstacle.

Today, Nicole and Diana welcome Gavin Beinart-Smollan, the Public Historian in Residence at The Jewish Board, one of New York State's largest and oldest mental health and social service agencies. Gavin is also a PhD candidate at New York University, researching the history of Jewish immigration and the Jewish immigrant family. He is the project lead for 150yearsofcare.org, a digital history exhibition and genealogy database. In this episode, Gavin discusses two incredible resources: the National Desertion Bureau Card Catalog (1911–1935) and the United Hebrew Charities of New York Recipients & Donors (1869–1877) database. Diana asks Gavin about the National Desertion Bureau Card Catalog, an index to cases where an agency helped women track down husbands who had abandoned their families. Gavin explains that the catalog includes husband's and wife's names, case dates, referring agencies, and causes of desertion, which can include "another woman," "lack of support," or "laziness." He also mentions that longer case files contain even more information and sometimes even photos. Nicole asks why a mental health and social service agency would build a genealogy database, and Gavin explains that it connects people in poverty to the past. He also shares how the Desertion Bureau functioned, including advertising cases in Yiddish newspapers to shame men into returning, and discusses the ethical considerations of making this material public. Diana then asks Gavin about the United Hebrew Charities of New York Recipients & Donors database, a dataset of recipients and donors from New York City's United Hebrew Charities in 1873. Gavin describes how this smaller dataset includes names, street addresses, amounts of aid, and “worthiness” notations. Listeners will learn how to search these unique databases, the type of genealogical data they contain, and the historical context of charity and social services in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Have you ever felt like leading change is more confusing than it should be? In this episode, Kevin welcomes Jeff DeGraff to discuss the complex art of change. Jeff shares why traditional change efforts often stall and how paradoxes can serve as a source of innovation and energy. Together, Kevin and Jeff discuss ideas such as launching change from the edges of an organization, the distinction between science and art in managing transformation, and why experiences, rather than facts, are what truly shift people's perspectives. They also discuss the "paradoxical mindset challenge" and offer practical tools for navigating change more effectively.

Nicole and Diana discuss the final and most important step in preparing for an onsite genealogy research trip: calling the facility. Diana opens by referencing previous episodes that covered foundational steps like creating a research objective, developing a timeline, conducting locality research, and crafting a detailed research plan. Nicole emphasizes that calling ahead is her number one tip for successful onsite research because it can reveal critical information not found online. They share anecdotes from Nicole's research trips to Love County, Oklahoma, and Kentucky to illustrate why this step is crucial. Nicole's experience in Love County shows that phone calls can be more effective than emails for getting responses from county offices. Her Kentucky trip highlights the importance of verifying hours, closures, and special circumstances, as she learned too late about limitations to vault access and record ordering during a special conference opening. Listeners learn they should always ask about special circumstances before booking flights and that a simple call can set proper expectations. They also discuss practical questions about the research environment. Nicole shares her experiences in Love County where there were no chairs in the research room, and she had to kneel in a storage room. Diana adds that researchers should not be embarrassed to ask about basic logistics like ladder access. The hosts stress the importance of understanding photography and documentation policies in advance, as Nicole discovered restrictions on photographing index pages in Love County. They advise asking if photographing records is allowed and if there are different policies for various record types. Finally, Nicole and Diana explain that calling ahead helps researchers understand record organization and access procedures, preventing disappointment and maximizing valuable research time. They conclude by reiterating that thorough preparation, especially calling ahead, is essential for a productive onsite research trip. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Who are you learning from? The people you listen to, spend time with, and follow online are shaping your growth as a leader and as a person. In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry challenges you to reflect on your current sources of learning and shares five practical ways to upgrade your influences. From choosing new lunch companions to exploring different books and podcasts, Kevin shows how intentional choices about who you learn from can accelerate your progress toward your goals. Plus, discover how you can learn directly from world-class thought leaders at Virtual LeaderCon. If you want to move faster toward your goals and expand your leadership potential, it's time to rethink who you're learning from.

In this episode, Nicole and Diana discuss preparing for onsite research, focusing on the critical importance of thorough locality research and detailed planning. They explore Nicole's contrasting experiences with Love County, Oklahoma, where she conducted comprehensive research into the county's 1907 creation from Chickasaw Nation, clerk responsibilities, and record locations, versus her rushed approach to Hardin County, Kentucky, which led to challenges with the Kentucky Department of Library and Archives' broad catalog system and difficulty pinpointing specific materials. Through these examples, they emphasize the necessity of understanding jurisdiction formation dates, previous jurisdictions, extant records, and repository catalog systems before visiting archives. The discussion concludes with strategies for creating focused research plans that incorporate specific objectives, timelines, and locality guides, with Nicole sharing how newspaper clues and established timelines guided her Love County deed and tax record searches, while noting how she would improve her Hardin County approach by first reviewing index volumes to better prioritize useful records for onsite research.

Nicole and Diana discuss the critical steps to ensure a productive genealogy research trip. They emphasize the importance of thorough preparation to avoid frustration and wasted time and money, highlighting that onsite research presents unique challenges compared to online research. Listeners learn that creating a clear research objective is the first crucial step, and Nicole shares contrasting examples from her own experiences: a successful, targeted trip to Love County, Oklahoma, for her Kinship Determination Project, and a less successful, more exploratory trip to Kentucky. They also discuss the second essential step: developing a comprehensive timeline of known information, again using Nicole's Love County and Kentucky research to illustrate how a precise timeline leads to more efficient and fruitful onsite research. The episode concludes by looking ahead to Part 2, where they will cover locality research, research planning, and contacting facilities. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

What happens when you realize you matter? In this episode, Kevin talks with Zach Mercurio about the often-overlooked human need to feel important and how leaders at all levels can foster this through everyday interactions. Zach explains how his early research with custodial staff showed that small, intentional moments—like being seen, acknowledged, and validated—are the building blocks of meaning at work. These "moments of mattering," he says, aren't about big gestures but about real human connection. Kevin and Zach also explore the link between mattering and trust, the challenge of staying focused in today's distracted world, and how leaders can create cultures where everyone feels valued and essential.

Nicole shares her personal journey into onsite research, with recent trips to the Love County, Oklahoma courthouse and Historical Society, and the Kentucky Historical Society and Department of Library and Archives. She also talks about visiting Brigham Young University Special Collections to see an ancestor's diary, and other facilities like the FamilySearch Library. Nicole highlights the value of hiring researchers for remote access and reaching out to county clerks for records. She shares both successful trips, like finding deeds and tax records in Love County, and learning experiences, such as a trip to Kentucky where she couldn't access original records as planned, but still found a valuable index. Diana and Nicole then discuss what listeners will learn in this multi-part series on onsite genealogy research.

With RED LIGHT PROPERTIES: Unfinished Business (Kinjin Storylab), writer/cartoonist Dan Goldman brings us a wildly entertaining graphic novel of midlife, the afterlife, and the south Florida real estate market. We talk about how the concept for RLP grabbed hold of him 20+ years back & never let go, why the story had to take place in/around Miami, how his work in video games and TV/movies affected his world-building in comics. We get into the peak life experiences of making this book, the transition from digital to print, why he set the book in landscape, the role of the "invisible" elements of comics design, the impact Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics had on him, why the next season of Red Light Properties — Gut Renovations — will be "singles, not albums," how it felt to work with Kickstarter and control every aspect of Unfinished Business' design & production, all while reveling in our shared comic loves. We also discuss turning 50, whether cocaine is ever a good story device, his sensitivity to hauntings, why he needs to quit comics every so often, the effect The Invisibles had on him (esp. Grant Morrison's letter columns), the paradox of choice and the joy of the analog-hunt, his prose writing and why he tells stories that are 83% true, and plenty more.

Before the episode's main topic, Diana shares how she uses AI in transcribing deeds and court records and for creating source citations and abstracts for her research log. Nicole shares that she's been using ChatGPT to summarize profile pages from FamilySearch's Tree for her research log. Nicole and Diana discuss tracing enslaved individuals in U.S. records, specifically focusing on the 1900 U.S. Census and the Enslaved.org project. Nicole introduces the challenges of researching enslaved people, noting that identifying information like age and family groups is often found in slave schedules and post-emancipation records like the 1867 Voter Registration and 1870 census. She explains that formerly enslaved individuals may have changed surnames after emancipation, making family groups and ages crucial for tracing them. They then highlight two projects that aid this research: the Enslaved.org project and the 1900 U.S. Census dataset on FamilySearch.org, a collaboration between Michigan State University and FamilySearch International. Diana shares her personal research on the Royston family in Chambers County, Alabama, demonstrating how she correlates slave schedules with later census records and uses the 1900 U.S. Census dataset to identify potential candidates. Nicole then discusses searching the Enslaved.org database and its features for finding individuals. Listeners will learn how to approach tracing enslaved ancestors using these valuable resources.

Today's episode, sponsored by Newspapers.com, focuses on decoding the 1819 Weatherford Assault Case in Frontier Arkansas. Diana introduces the topic of researching challenging court records and how new AI tools can assist with finding, transcribing, and understanding them. She discusses her project to discover the father of Henderson Weatherford, which led her to Lawrence County, Arkansas, court records. Diana explains how FamilySearch's Full-Text search capability helped her find records for William and Buman/Bunyan Weatherford.  Diana then explains the process of transcribing the court records. She describes how she used Claude.ai to transcribe the Weatherford entries, emphasizing the importance of checking AI for accuracy and providing a sample prompt for transcription. Nicole then discusses understanding the court case. Diana created a Google Doc with transcriptions of the five separate entries for the case and then used Claude.ai to explain the entire case. Listeners will learn how to use AI for transcription and interpretation of court records, making complex historical documents more accessible. The hosts also discuss the chronological order of the Weatherford court records and the challenge of name inconsistencies, such as Buman/Benjamin/Buneon Weatherford, which is common in historical records. They conclude by highlighting how AI is making a significant difference in genealogical research.  This summary was generated by Google Gemini.
