That was a great interview. Lots of helpful tips.
To be sure! So many ideas to implement for research and writing!!!
Your video was very informative thank you so much for doing this interview video
Thanks so much. I enjoyed visiting with Lisa.
I just found you today and l love the video. At the end of this video you mentioned that there would be a part 2 in a few weeks. I have looked through the videos ( the beat I know how since I’m still figuring out CZcams also), but am not finding the part 2...can you tell me where I can locate the part 2, please?? Thank you & thank you for these wonderful videos.
Erg... I should go edit that out. The video was of terrible quality so I didn't release it. Thanks for watching the whole thing.
I'm just glad Google services are free.
When you're trying to make your genealogy dollars stretch, Google is a great support. Eventually, I have to save up for various subscriptions and plan ahead before I pay for a month or a year.
I love the interview
Thanks so much. I loved interviewing Lisa.
I’ve had some good success with books. Some good tips in this video.
That's great! What success did you have?
I love google books. I also use the books on the LDS.
By LDS you mean FamilySearch.org? Also, have you tried Internet Archvie or HathiTrust for books/
If I hit a brick wall in the late 1700s I'll consult the Google. You can almost always find something on a discussion board about that family. The discussion boards are where the serious genealogists are.
I beg to different. Many serious genealogists don't have time for discussion boards. HOWEVER, I do agree that you should explore them as one of many tools in your tool belt.
Serious genealogists are those who bother to do their research properly and state their sources accurately rather than blindly copying the errors of others to get their numbers up. Today I found a father who was born 3 years after his son! Two others just copied the error into their trees. I don't have time for chat blogs.
This book sounds so helpful. Would it help me in the UK. Thanks x

So usefull! Thanks! Can you do a vidie about color-coding in geneology?
I briefly mentioned the color coding paper organizing system in this video: czcams.com/video/lHHl0LueyDw/video.html
I discussed color coding DNA matches in this one.

@@KristinNova Thank you. :)
Google Books is amazing.
So true!
In 2020 I discovered who my BF was but he's deceased. So I've been trying to find a clear picture of him or really any picture of him so I can see if I look anything like him but haven't had a lot of luck unfortunately. Any suggestions?
Great question. Depending on where he lived, you might find digitized photos in newspapers and yearbooks. My friend Lisa also has some suggestions from this video in our archive. czcams.com/video/WTk6LBoV-w4/video.html
Also, look on FamilySearch or Ancestry for your biological father and his family. Someone might have uploaded a photo there. Or, you might find an active researcher who you could reach out to who might have a photo.
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics thank you for the info. I had talked to the woman he spent the last ten years of his life with and the digital camera that had their pictures on she said got broken or damaged or something and he threw it away. I have two pictures one of when he was 13 and one not long before he passed. Both are newspaper articles and grainy. Not very clear at all. When I tried to find the actual story online I couldn't find either of them.
His parents passed away when he was young so by age 15 he had quit school and went out on his own. I have no clue what school he went to but I do know approximately where he lived and grew up.

Sorry to disappoint. There are others with less enthusiasm and passion who could use your support.
