Stop searching names and start searching stories! I joined a panel for NGS to discuss how PERSI can unlock research clues you won't find anywhere else. I’ve updated the blog with the video, tips from NGS Magazine, and advice for the upcoming conference in Fort Wayne!#Genealogy #PERSIhttp://genealogypants.com/2026/05/13/persi-memberconnects-with-the-national-genealogical-society/

Genealogical Gratitude – Coffee!I don't know about you, but I am in love with coffee. I am so grateful for coffee and how it impacts my genealogical research. I come from a long line of coffee drinkers so I am sure it runs in the gene pool! I am especially grateful for peppermint mochas. Plain coffee (with cream and sugar) is an excellent treat for next to the computer in the chilly Colorado winters.http://genealogypants.com/2013/11/18/genealogical-gratitude-coffee/

RootsTech 2013It has been about a month since I attended RootsTech. I wanted to let the dust settle a bit before I wrote about it. It was an enjoyable trip. As a mom of two kids, ages 10 and 12, it was a nice break from reality. Grandpa came and took care of the kids so my husband and I could attend.http://genealogypants.com/2013/04/15/rootstech-2013/

Attempting to be OrganizedBeing an "organized genealogist" is like trying to reach enlightenment. It seems like such an unattainable goal, like me climbing Mount Everest. (I'm lucky if I can climb the stairs sometimes!) However, there are many tips and tricks, blogs, books, magazines and people (they call them "professional organizers") to help you get and stay organized. A new Facebook community got me thinking about this topic.http://genealogypants.com/2013/05/22/attempting-to-be-organized/

Between the chaos of a cross-country move and major family milestones, my "to-do" list got a little dusty. But I’ve finally resurfaced! My website is officially updated with a refreshed lecture list. If your society is looking for a webinar speaker with fresh stories to tell, come see what's new.http://genealogypants.com/2026/04/20/lecture-list-updated/

@cataplin Agreed. Many of my ancestors kept records of inventory and purchases. They also documented genetic experiments creating hybrid varieties of plants they grew.
