The new Korean War Draft Cards. Found several men in the Wyoming cards. Can’t wait for the next states.

As always, it's great to see you! My wife has quite an extended family and has difficulty figuring out these relationships. When I explain, she sometimes throws up her hands and says, "OK fine, but they were older than I, so it's 'Aunt Terry' or 'Uncle Jim'" even though they are true cousins.

Thanks for the info! I was referring to my 1st cousin 2 times removed by the wrong term.

Good to know! Thanks Lisa!

I only watched the preview but I heard enough to know that what you said is inflammatory and maybe even defamatory. You rolled some news under the bus as fake news but didn't say who it was so you're just being generic without any evidence. Why would you do that?

I just found out about mine. Lilly’s have a crazy history

Wikitree is the best but, unfortunately, like Ancestry & other genealogy family tree sites, the data is member contributed & a few times wrong information is entered by individuals who do not double verify their data.

How do I add an extra spouse?

Any body can help me to find free online courses about forensic genetics?😢 These courses is interesting but I can’t pay that price 🥹

I’m looking for any Casto’s out there that would be major help !!!

Is Nat Turner related to Charles Henry Turner?

I can't see anything.

That producer has egg on his or her face for NOT doing his or her due diligence!

I looked on your website for your Google Toolbox book but found no link to it. There is one edition on Amazon from 2011. :-( Any chance there is a new edition coming out in 2025? 🙂

What a GREAT video, Lisa! None of my ancestors were famous (at least none that I've found yet) but I might have run some U/I people I have through Google lens! Thank you for sharing!

Unfortunately we live in an age of shoddy journalism. They chase the quick click or eye without verifying all content produced in the name of "news", even if it is for flavor content.

That was excellent, Lisa!!!! Thank you

You're right about photography not starting until about the 1830's, but wasn't commonly used until our Civil War. I had something similar happen regarding the picture of a 19th century upscale school house. In 2000 a gent in our Michigan township mistakenly added a picture of a fancy two-story school to his historical binder. Like you, it didn't sit well w/ me. This building was not something our rural farming community could afford. So I requested from our F/B historical society, that someone help find where this picture came from. And I was right, the old picture was of a Blaine School in the state of Washington. P.S. I've also read the non-fiction novel, The Confessions of Nat Turner (a Pulitzer Prize winner).

Good advice. I used Google lens when I found a sketch identified as one of my Quaker ancestors. This was on findagrave and many Ancestry trees. I discovered it was George Fox, a Quaker founder. In another instance, there was a 18th century painting of an ancestor's family on Ancestry. I don't remember how I found it, but it was in the UK National Gallery website. And, happily, it was my ancestor's family. It opened up a whole trail of discovery.

Charles Henry Turner, a zoologist...one of 3 Black men to ear a PhD from Chicago University. Dr. Turner was a civil rights advocate in St. Louis, publishing papers on the subject beginning in 1897. Passed away Feb 14 1923.

I've tried contacting people with the wrong info for over 20 years. Maybe two people responded but didn't change their error. I hope my errors are pointed out to me, we all want to be accurate. Thanks Lisa Louise.

Great video and so timely with AI taking over generating images galore. BTW, your hair fabulous!

Thank you! It’s always so hard to tell clients that their trees are wrong because of errors they copied from other online trees ! 😢

A BIG red flag in this case: Nat Turner was an enslaved person. The photo is of a distinguished, well-dressed professional man. Highly unlikely that an enslaved person in rebellion would be dressed up in fine clothing and photographed. PS: Nice to see you back again Mrs. Cooke!

I'm from Tunbridge Wells! That paper is still going!

Thank you, Lisa! Can you do everything you described in Camtasia Essentials or do you need Camtasia Create?

Library of VA has an online record of Chancery cases from the later 1700s to 1900. That is a gold mine.

The island of Barbados should not be overlooked when researching your genealogy from the Carolinas. There is a genealogical link to the early settlement of the Carolinas and the Caribbean islands. Research the seven Lord Proprietors of Barbados who settled the colony of Virginia in the 1600s.

Thank you Lisa.

Naturalization and border crossing records often include a birth date. The change-over from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar can also add to the confusion.

I'm a Virginian and I have traced my roots back to 1562 in Weißenborn-Lüderode, Germany. My first American ancestor came to Virginia from Weißenborn-Lüderode in 1776; where he then left the German army and started a new life in Montgomery County.

Wow I live in Oregon and I had never heard of all these things until Ancestry so there really needs to be more education about all this over on this side of the country. This is our American heritage and history. I ❤ it.😊

On Ancestry I had many applications from the DAR and I am just realizing what this is and learning. Thank you for explaining more.🙂

What a great interview, jam-packed with real how-to-use-it info on Italian archives and the Antenati website! In only 35 minutes you addressed nearly everything one needs to know to access their ancestors' records! However, there is one important "stumbling block" I didn't hear you mention: Those early records are handwritten in "old Italian cursive"! It can be confusing/intimidating at first, until you discover that they form some alphabet letters differently from the way we do. An example is their capital "T," which sorta looks like an otherworldly cursive mashup of "H" and "G" together. Another is the lower-case "s," which they write like our lower-case "f" with a very long tail. So, the name Teresa looks crudely like "Gerefa," only much weirder! Anyway, thank you so much for this valuable tutorial!

Exceptional information! Thanks Lisa!

Alexander McCloy and wife Ginny from New South Wales ,Australia to Hope Plantation Virginia. Searching for my great great grandparents.

My newspaper stories about my ancestors include: Killing a huge bald eagle because it was eating his pigs and chickens Killing a huge rattlesnake on her door stoop Mule ran away and damaged the wagon Another daughter got bit by a rattlesnake Another left their baby by a fireplace and embers popped out and burned the baby up by the time she returned…had never heard about this from family 💔💔💔

Thank for bringing these family photos back to life! I run a genealogy club for the Cincinnati Library. My next theme is Finding Your Relatives Photos. I will definitely showcase Dead Fred as a source!

Very interesting. I am researching the Benjamin Bibb family (King WIlliam Co, VA) line presently. Ive found convincing documents detailing VA and KY, but they do not match up exactly (one claims 3 children, the other 4, for instance - which is a big discrepancy imo). Its difficult when the author writes a summary, but you do not have supporting records. Thanks for sharing the info.

looking for newspaper articles about car accidents

I'm currently in the process of joining. And holy cow, trying to find some of the records that may or may not exist, is so difficult. I'm stuck on gen 3, gen 8, and gen 9

I don't like when a site offers a free trial with no info on the $ amount of a subscription. Not giving my info for them to have a blank check.

Yikes!!! Is there any easier way to do this? If i have names & the RR address, can I call the courthouse?

If your family arrived after the revolution can you join in some way

Thank you ,I've to buy a VCR first looking for 2nd hand one as they are so expensive lol

Wonderful episode! Thank you.

Thank you! I found the date of death of great grandmother and verified I had found the correct Aunts and Uncles!

I learned a bit

I’m confused, do we research in the county they lived in or the present day county ?

Thank you very much! This helps with plotting metes and bounds in Texas. 🙏
