This came through on Facebook and I just wanted to share it. Watch the video. Remember, this is what happens when people don’t remember cemeteries matter! It might not be your cup of tea, but this could be Y O U if you choose a casket. (I’m going ashes, tyvm!)

REVIEW: Ancestry.com’s ProGenealogists.com
A conversation on a mogul’s social media platform led me to look up companies under Ancestry’s umbrella. Later I returned for future reference, who not to use (yes, I admit, I’m no longer enchanted with Ancestry, but it took me 23 years to get here.. and I’m not leaving this headspace even if they paidContinue reading “REVIEW: Ancestry.com’s ProGenealogists.com”
Ancestry Terms of Service
Have you ever wondered about why Terms of Service, otherwise known as TOS, are a mile long and so confusing that even a lawyer might trip over themselves trying to explain them? I started with Ancestry over 20 years ago, back when they weren’t even a big player. Over the two decades, they’ve purchased multipleContinue reading “Ancestry Terms of Service”
It’s been a long time since I have blogged. If I told you that my first blog was actually a very successful one, viewed in 27 countries, I bet you’d laugh…. but it’s true! You would laugh even harder if you knew the context, or even how it got so big, but no I won’tContinue reading “Email”
The library! F I N A L L Y
Back in 1998 in Chickasaw County, MS I was overwhelmed when I walked into a local library and found books about MY family. Even pages that had been written by my great-great aunt, who I adored since I was a child. I’m not a huge book reader, front to back, but I dabble. Maybe IContinue reading “The library!

John R Long
John R Long has been a mystery to my cousin Jim, for the 20+ years he’s researched the Longs. I suspect he has the same feeling I do about my Buchanan’s, where for 25 years I’ve been in the same exact place, with the same names, and no matter how hard I try, I haven’tContinue reading “John R Long”
Temporary pull of one post
I posted something last weekend re Patricia Bray Welch, Gust Canert Bray and genealogy malpractice both in paper and DNA. I rewrote/added to it some many times, I re read it the other day and realized I repeated myself a million times. So, No! I’m not changing my mind about the post, it WILL return.Continue reading “Temporary pull of one post”

Thomas Albert Sartain, a man who not only has several children, but has the easily recognizable Sartain face, especially to anyone even remotely connected to his line. Thanks to his descendant, James F Long, this personally held family photo is being exclusively shared for the first time.

Useful Links
I’m not sure how this particular post will evolve, but I’m constantly looking for a way to organize links, especially with as many webpages as I can hit doing research. Sometimes my memory serves me well as to how to find that one place again and others, well, I am getting older, and my onceContinue reading “Useful Links”
Welcome to Club BLC…..
What makes us the people we are? Nature, nurture, genetics, environment? I’m not sure anyone really knows a definite answer, but I believe a combination of ‘all of the above’ is at play. One specific aspect I have come to know rather well is the genealogy paper trail that is left behinds builds a fascinatingContinue reading “Welcome to Club BLC…..”
