There are lessons here: about the strength and compassion and suffering of one almost 27 year old nurse and the staff and patients she works with; about…

Remembering Mill Mountain before the star.

In my last post I wrote about my mother’s life from her birth as Joann Wilder Shoaf in 1933 to her graduation from Jefferson High School in 1950.

Mill Mountain in Roanoke, Virginia. Mill Mountain is entirely…

Confirming ancestors: Am I really descended from these people?

Confirming ancestors: Am I really descended from these people?

Trying to climb my family tree. While doing genealogical research, it can be difficult to know with certainty whether a person you believe to be your ancestor actually is. Here are just a few of the problems I ran into while trying to figure out who belonged in my tree and who didn’t. There were people who changed their names (or had them changed) when they immigrated from one country to…

There's diversity in my whiteness.

I 'm white, but there 's diversity in my whiteness. Fun with genealogical research.

When I was in the fourth grade, my teacher asked up to find out about our ancestors. I don’t know if I didn’t ask my parents or if they didn’t answer, but I said I was Italian. I’m not. Names & Places As I got older, I got more interested in learning about my ancestral, cultural, and genealogical origins. I started out by learning the surnames of my grandparents and my great-grandparents and…

DNA testing: Evolving, like me.

DNA testing: Evolving, like me.

I’ve gotten DNA testing done by both 23andme.com and Ancestry DNA. Interestingly, they divide regions of the world differently. They also update the results regularly, so I’m sure the results will change over time. They both gree, however, that my ancestors were primarily Northwestern European. As of April 16, 2021, 23andme.com identifies my DNA make up as:

We, the people, deserve better from our legislators.

It would be extraordinary if the members of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate took their responsibility to serve the American people seriously. If they were serving the people, they would be: working with President Biden on legislation to get people vaccinated against the coronavirus; providing funding for schools to make them safe for students and teachers; providing aid…
