Greetings #GenHour! How's your week been? I've managed to miss most of #AATP but hope to catch up with some of the talks via recordings. But I did make it to Jude's brilliant talk at the Society for #OnePlaceStudies which was utterly delightful! bsky.app/profile/onep...

Hi #GenHour, how is your week going? I had two distant cousins contact me this week asking me how we were connected. I love it when others discover my tree. I have so much to share with them about our shared ancestry!

I somehow missed this when it was posted nine years ago but it’s a gorgeous version of “Hallelujah” in Yiddish. I need you all to watch it. 🙂 youtu.be/XH1fERC_504
