I had an amazing time at the @SCGenSociety Genetic Genealogy Conference this past weekend. Attended some informative presentations and was honored to be a speaker and DNA consultant. Enjoyed meeting and talking with some really great people. #Genealogy #geneticgenealogy
These are my AncestryDNA results that were updated back in August. I'm posting here bc I enjoy going back through my media and seeing the differences with each update throughout the year. I wish I had screenshots of my original results from many yrs ago.

"A Dream Delivered: The Lost Letters of Hawkins Wilson" is a powerful and moving film. I hope more families can be reunited like this. I know Hawkins was dancing in Heaven when his family was finally reunited! @HenryLouisGates @neeksmith #genealogy youtu.be/tg99_BdeSYw

For most of us working in archives, family trees are just as common as the outdoor variety. Check out this ornate family tree of President James K. Polk's ancestors! ๐ธcredit: Genealogy Division @state_library #ArchivesTrees
I'm trying to ID woman on left & woman in the middle. Woman on the right is Martha Etta "Mattie" (Thomas) Watts (13 Sep 1889 Union Parish, LA - 5 Jan 1971 Shreveport, LA). Taken Mother's Day 1946 in Richland Parish, LA. #oldphotos #Genealogy #ancestry #FamilyHistory #Louisiana
While working on a case study of two men (2 names/locations) actually being the same man I found indirect evidence that ties together all other evidence used in my proof argument. It's exciting when it all comes together. #genealogy #familyhistory #BrickWallBusting #amwriting
