I really enjoy "Finding Your Roots," and "Who Do You Think You Are?" - it's the reallife mystery that fascinates me.

I qualify on both sides of my family! I just need to get the marriage and birth certificates for two people and I'm all set. During the pandemic, I spent lots of my time doing family research and ended up learning that I can trace my ancestry to someone who fought in most American wars, including the French & Indian! My husband recently became a British citizen based on some of primary sources I was able to locate.
Last month, I got a piece of mail I'd been waiting on for a while. My husband asked, "Why are you getting death certificates in the mail?"
Not commenting on the primary topic, than to say that transgender women have always been members of our organizations, but always ready for a genealogy-related lane swerve.
