Remember Me: Lifestreaming and the Modern Genealogist
The old phrase “The cobbler’s children always have the worse shoes,” rings true for genealogists when it comes to documenting our own lives. With a constant emphasis on preserving the memories of our ancestors, are we “walking the walk” when it comes to our own lives? There has never been…

Scattered Leaves: Reconnecting family branches with DNA
Thu, December 11 2025: 1:00 UTC
When our families scattered across the globe, they often left close family behind. The family connections were lost over the subsequent generations. Now through family history research and DNA we are reconnecting with the branches of our family tree as shown in these case studies.

Ancêtre militaire : de carrière ou appelé ? (XIXe-XXe siècles) – Explorer des parcours uniques
Tue, December 16 2025: 14:00 UTC
Les archives militaires sont une véritable mine d’or pour les recherches généalogiques et biographiques. Grâce à elles, chaque généalogiste peut redonner vie aux parcours de ses ancêtres, qu’ils aient été soldats de carrière ou appelés du service militaire. Si la numérisation massive des fiches matricules de la Première Guerre mondiale a largement facilité les recherches, elle ne doit pas occulter la richesse des autres périodes. Du XIXe au XXe siècle, chaque époque — en temps de paix comme en temps de guerre — offre des pistes passionnantes et complémentaires. Au Service historique de la Défense, aux Archives départementales, ou encore en ligne, les sources sont nombreuses. Il s’agit surtout de connaître les bonnes méthodes pour avancer avec succès. Ce webinaire vous guidera pas à pas pour découvrir, comprendre et exploiter pleinement ces ressources, afin de retracer des parcours militaires uniques et d’enrichir votre histoire familiale.

Incorporating social context in a Kinship-Determination Project isn’t just about weaving historical events and descriptions of daily life into a family narrative. Community and culture shape behavior and relationships. To understand and document our ancestors, we need to understand the society in which they lived. When we estimate a marriage date based the birth of a couple’s first child (or that the birth of a child implies a marriage), we base those assumptions on context. This lecture will explore social context and illustrate how to research and write about it within a Kinship-Determination Project.

Alcina Furkey’s birth name and her parents’ identities were unknown in 19C Vermont. Alcina had many forenames: Alcenia, Arsena, Christina, Elcena, Elena, Jane, Josephine, Julia, Lucy, and Reusta, and Rosanna. But none of them was her baptismal name. Reconstructing her birth family, together with a connection found in deeds and the clues in Catholic records, led to her real identity.
