GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Genealogy Quilts with Pat and Mary!

 

The panel, Melissa Barker, Bernice Bennett, Dan Earl,  Larua Hedgecock, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I welcome Pat Richley-Erickson aka DearMYRTLE to talk about genealogy quilting this week.  Mary who is a fabulous quilter herself does double duty as a panelist and a guest!

Quilting is a wonderful way to capture events, family stories, and connections and as Pat and Mary confirm, it is very therapeutic as well.

Watch as both Pat and Mary share some of the beautiful quilts they have made and the stories behind them, plus learn how to get started, groups that support quilters, and get advice from Melissa on how to make sure you store and take care of your quilts properly.

Bernice shows us a gorgeous quilt made by her mother that contains fabrics that spark memories and Laura shares a Christmas quilt made by her sister and a couple of quilts she is trying to discover their origin. 

Are you a quilter or do you have heirloom quilts?

We'd love to hear about them!

Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance!

 You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone around that you found the document, contacted a cousin who has the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a whole new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.

                                                          Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries. 

This is a weekly series to enable everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment.

My Happy Dance Moment for this week: 

Happy Dance moments come as we make special memories with family as well as make ancestor discoveries.

This week, I was able to take my mom to a yearly lights celebration we have in our town. With the death of my father two years ago and her recent health problems, we haven't been able to do too much together. It has been hard for her to get out of the house. But, this week, we went to "Nights of a Thousand Candles" an annual Christmas tradition where we live. It's been years since she has gone.

Not only did we convince her to go with us, but we had a wonderfully warm night to enjoy the light displays and listen to the bands play. We also enjoyed a fun dinner together!

My Happy Dance moment this week?

Spending time with my mom and making special memories.

What's your Happy Dance Moment?

Please share and let's celebrate together!

                                                                      

                                                                                              Share your discovery!

GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show with Special Guest Nathan Dylan Goodwin

  

The panel Melissa Barker, Laura Hedgecock, and Shelley Murphy and I welcome Genealogical Crime Mystery writer Nathan Dylan Goodwin to talk about his new book "The Foundlings". The 9th in the series, Nathan shares some insights into the newest of Morton's adventures and his thoughts on upcoming books in both of his book series. 

Watch as we learn what may lie in store for Morton Farrier in the Forensic Genealogist series and how the work is coming on the writing of the next in the Venator Genetic Mystery series. Can Nathan write two books at once? Morton seems to want him too! 

Laura's book suggestion right in the middle of our interview with Nathan! Great timing!

Which is your favorite Morton book?

Have you begun the Venator series?

We'd love to hear from you!
