9)  Posted another genealogy-related poem "The Genealogist's Lament" and song "The Genealogy Blues" in An AI Poem -- "The Genealogist's Lament," and AI Song "The Genealogy Blues." Used Canva.com to put the song video on YouTube.

10)  Housekeeping -- updated my Randy's AI and Genealogy page.  Added a number of the recent Google NotebookLM Videos to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@RandySeaver.

11)  Checked out Jason Duncan's Ancestor Map Builder 2.0.  Pretty useful, will probably be improved over time.

12)  Searched for more records of ancestral families on Ancestry, FamilySearch and MyHeritage, downloaded record images to my digital file folders, and added research notes, events and sources to RootsMagic profiles.  My RootsMagic family tree now has 75,119 profiles (up 0 from last week)  and 148,075 source citations (up 3).  

13)  My AncestryDNA test now has 52,308 DNA matches (up 55 from 26 July) with 2,219  "close" matches (20 cM or more) today (up 5), with 1 New ThruLines.  Added Notes to no Matches, and added no new DNA match lines to RootsMagic. MyHeritageDNA test now has 14,773 DNA matches (up 27 from 26 July) for me, with 26 Theories of Family Relativity.  

14) Wrote 23 Genea-Musings blog posts last week (Sunday through Saturday), of which one was a press release. The most viewed post last week was Amanuensis Monday -- 1793 Quitclaim Deed of David Kirby to John Kirby for Land in Westport, Bristol County, Massachusetts with 307 views.  Genea-Musings had about 354,000 page views last week and over 902,000 views over the past month (lots of bots I think). 

15)  Real life events:  Visited Linda several days this past week at her memory care facility.  Went to the grocery store on Monday and Friday. Attended the church Men's Bible Study breakfast on Saturday. Finished reading Double Tap by Steve Martini and started Billy Striaght by Jonathan Kellerman. Watched the Padres games - they were 5-1 this past week and are 58-54.

NOTE:  I spent about 30 hours on these genealogy activities this week,  learned quite a bit, and had some genealogy fun!.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- What Plans Do You Have To Pass On Your Genealogy Work?

 Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. 

1)  What plans, or potential plans, do you have to pass your genealogy work to relatives and/or descendants, or posterity?

2) Tell us about your plans to pass your work on in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook post.  Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.

Here's mine:

I've been pondering this question for decades...

Initially, my hope was that I could write 17 multi-generational ancestry books (one for me to cover the most recent 5 generations, and one for each 2nd great-grandparent back, say, 10 generations) and publish them, at least as an eBook or in FamilySearch Books.  I did eBooks in 2012 and put them on Scribd for free, which is searchable.  I also did several "Descendants of..." eBooks and they are also on Scribd.  Almost all of the information has not changed since!

But I know that the modern 21st century grandchild will never care about all of that.  They want family stories, they want audio and video, they want to hear about what their grandparents did in their lives.  

So now I've written and published a StoryWorth book and a MyStories book about my life (both with essentially the same content), and both of my daughters have a copy and claim to have read it, but I doubt that the grandchildren have.  Perhaps I should email the text file to them?

In the process of writing my Genea-Musings blog for almost 19 years, and writing over 18,000 blog posts, I have endeavored to write a genealogical sketch, with as much detail as possible based on records and published information, for my direct ancestors, from my parents back through the known 7th great-grandparents (they are on my 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies page).  I am not a great writer and those sketches are full of facts but precious few family stories (because there aren't many stories before the great-grandparents).

Now artificial intelligence comes along and the chatbots are excellent in summarizing, describing, and integrating historical and social context into a narrative, especially if it is in a text format.  What's not to like?  I've been trying to write "improved" and "interesting" family biographies based on the sketches, and any other resource I can find, using the AI tools.  Over the last 9 months, I have been (see my list of blog posts in https://www.geneamusings.com/p/artificial-intelligence-posts.html) doing this to pass things along:

• Creating a biography for each ancestor with historical and social context (I've found Claude and Google NotebookLM are really good at this).
• Creating poems and song lyrics, and then a song using the lyrics, for each of my close ancestors (I really like Claude and Grok for the poem and the lyrics, and Suno for the song in an MP4 file). 
• Using Google NotebookLM to create an audio overview (in a WAV file) of the ancestor's biography (and have used TurboScribe to provide text from the audio WAV file).  These are often interesting and insightful.

Now the challenge is how to pass all of that on to the younger generation.  I'm terrible at creating videos, but I'm thinking about:

• Gathering photographs and document images of each ancestor in chronological order.
• Making a video recording for each ancestor using my Zoom account to display the photographs while telling the ancestor's story in my voice, perhaps reading the poem and/or playing the audio overview, and/or then playing the song.  Is that overkill?  

Then there is the massive RootsMagic family tree project with over 74,000 profiles at present - how do I pass that on?  I have an Ancestry Member Tree and a MyHeritage family tree that are nearly identical to the RootsMagic tree.  Many of my RootsMagic profiles are matched to the FamilySearch Family Tree, and my ancestors are in WikiTree in some form.  I'm hopeful that my genealogy work and my blog archive will live on for several more decades.

What about the generated genealogy stuff - the digitized family photographs (4 generations worth), digitized home movies (3 generations worth), record documents (~12 generations worth), Christmas family letters (40 years worth), autobiography, my life story books, and my ancestor and descendant eBooks?  I have a FOREVER account and have put quite a bit of those items on that account which should be accessible to my daughters and grandchildren.

What about the 70 linear feet of paper in my genealogy cave stuffed into three-ring binders that I haven't looked at for about 20 years?  Well, I'm thinking bonfire or 1-800-GOT-JUNK.  I don't think any repository will want them and that my descendants won't have any interest in them.   Sad, but true.  It's almost all on the Internet now.

And then - NEW TECHNOLOGY will come along to make some or all of that obsolete.  Holographs, virtual reality, brain implants, and more.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Do You Have a Digital Genealogy Library?

  Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. 

1)  Do you have a digital genealogy library? If so, what titles are in it. If not, why not?

2) Tell us about your digital genealogy library in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook Status  post.  Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.

[Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for this suggested topic]

Here's mine:

Yes - yes I do have a digital genealogy library of sorts.  For me, it's not all in one place.  I have digital file folders for:

• Digital Genealogy Methodology Books (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Books file folders)
• Digital Surname Books (mainly in my Genealogy/Ancestor Files/by Family Group/by Surname file folders)
• Digital Local History Books (mainly in my Genealogy/Localities/by State file folders)
• I have some digitized genealogy books on my Kindle app which I can access on my PC and laptop computers.
• Digital Periodicals (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Magazines file folders)
• Digitized Conference Syllabi (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Conferences file folders)
• Presentation Handouts (mainly in my Genealogy/Education/Presentations file folders)
• Internet Articles (strewn across many file folders in Genealogy/by whatever and in my yearly Download file folders)
• My Own Books (in Genealogy/Books and Reports/Books by Randy file folder)
• My Own Ancestor and Relative Articles (genealogical sketches of persons in Genealogy/Ancestor Files/Biographies)
• My Own Presentations and Handouts (in my Genealogy/Talks file folders for each presentation)
• Digitized Record Images (in my Genealogy/Ancestor Files/by Family Group/by Surname/by Family file folders)  
• Digitized Family Photograph Images (in my My Pictures/by Years/ and/or My Pictures/by Family Group file folders, and many also in the Genealogy/Ancestor Files/by Family Group/by Surname/by Family file folders)
• Digitized Family Movies (in my Family/FOREVER file folder)

All of the above, and more (I'm sure I've forgotten stuff in some - or misplaced in an - obscure file folder) are backed up every night on iDrive (If they have been modified) and many of the "keepers" are on my Google Drive and FOREVER accounts.

I see that I need to do a lot of housekeeping to get a lot of stuff into a logical file structure on my computer, and by extension, in iDrive.  Another task to pursue in 2025 (I intentionally neglected this as a Goal).

Family Tree Magazine has a New Genealogy Book: "Beginner's Guide to Genealogy"

 I received an email today highlighting a new book from Family Tree Magazine titled Beginner's Guide to Genealogy: How to Get Started With Your Family Research.  

The price is $39.97.

The book description is:

Start your family history research! This easy-to-understand guide will help you find your ancestors efficiently and with confidence. Inside, you'll find expert advice on the basics of genealogy, with tutorials for building a family tree, finding and understanding key genealogy records, and organizing your files and research, plus a roundup of can't-miss beginner-friendly genealogy websites. 

You’ll love the Beginner's Guide to Genealogy Book if…

• You're new to family history research and don't know where to start
• You want to get a family member or friend interested in genealogy
• You'd love to go "back to the basics" and revisit work you've already done
• You're interested in 104 pages of family history research advice

Here are some tips you’ll find in the Beginner's Guide to Genealogy Book:

• Move backward in time. Start with the most recent members of your family (you and your parents), then carefully document each generation as you go backward in time. This will keep you from making rash jumps—you don't want to end up researching the wrong ancestors!

• Talk to your relatives. Ask any living relatives about their memories. Don't ask just about facts and dates—get the stories of their growing up and of the ancestors they remember. Try to phrase questions with "why," "how," and "what."

• Always check your sources. Verify any information you find in family trees created by other people using records and documents. Apply this same mentality to "hints" generated by sites like Ancestry.com and FamilySearch, which can be helpful but are not foolproof.

Contents of the Beginner's Guide to Genealogy Book:

Part 1: Jump-Starting Your Research

• 10 Steps to Start Building Your Family Tree
• Counting Cousins: How to Calculate Cousinhood
• Busted!: 10 Genealogy Myths Debunked
• The Roaring Twenties: 20 Timeless Genealogy Tips

Part 2: Tech Tools

Part 3: Genealogy Records 101

• Counting Up: Practical Tips for Searching Censuses
• First Generation: 3 Basic Immigration Records
• Source Spotlight: Birth Records
• Source Spotlight: Marriage Records
• Source Spotlight: Death Records

Part 4: Organizing Your Research

• Work It Out: 7 Genealogy Worksheets
• Ties That Bind: How to Create a Family History Binder
• Showing Your Work: Genealogy Source Citation Basics
• Your-Digital-Files.jpg: How to Manage and Label Digital Files

The Beginner's Guide to Genealogy Book has 104 pages.  Buy it at   https://store.familytreemagazine.com/beginners-guide-genealogy-book/

Rabbit Holes With Randy - a Genea-Whiff! and Google Saves!

 It was a deep rabbit hole that took two hours to sort out.

1)  Some history:  By the year 2000, I had made a lot of xerox copies of book and periodical pages and had filled up three-hole binders with all of the paper sorted by surnames (e.g., "Auble") or groups of surnames (e.g., "Medfield families" with tabs for each surname).  My book cases were full.  The tops of the bookcases had periodicals on them.  There was no more room in the genealogy cave for more bookcases.  

But my research at libraries, including the Family History Library/Center and local libraries, did not stop.  I continued to make xerox copies of useful books and periodical articles and records but I didn't add them to the already packed binders.  The loose papers (stapled as needed) were then stacked up on the floor or put in the open space between the top of the binders and the top of the bookcase frame.  

Over time, I entered the information from the binders and the loose papers into Family Tree Maker and, after 2008, into RootsMagic.  On the papers, I noted if I had entered the data to the programs, and added source citations in RootsMagic.  

And then we could find information in books, periodicals, records, digital microfilm, etc. online and save it on the genealogy computer.  So I also have computer file folders with digital information for each surname and each ancestral family, plus localities and repositories.  Some of it duplicates the stuff in the three-hole binders.  

2)  The Rabbit Hole:  Every week I try to write a genealogical sketch for the 52 Ancestors theme on Genea-Musings (see the list at https://www.geneamusings.com/p/ancestor-biographies.html). I consult the Notes and Sources I've made for my target person in RootsMagic.  If I lack information to fill out the sketch, I go looking for my source in the computer file folders and the binders/loose papers, and then search online (Ancestry, FamilySearch, American Ancestors, MyHeritage, Google, Internet Archive, Find A Grave, etc.) to check all of the information boxes I need for the sketch.

This week's 52 Ancestor sketch is for  Joseph Kelsey (1673-1742) and I could not find a three-ring binder with information for him or his ancestry.  So I looked through my computer file folders for Kelsey, and then all of the loose papers (about 6 linear feet of paper) and found two articles about his ancestry, but not the pages of the book that I had sourced in RootsMagic.  Apparently, when I found the book in the Family History Library years ago, I entered the name/date/place material into RootsMagic without capturing the text within the book.

Plan B was to search the online record providers.  A search for my Joseph Kelsey on Ancestry revealed very little - not a book or periodical and no birth, marriage or death records.  Same with the other providers.

So I went to Plan C - I searched for the book title (A Genealogy of the Descendants of William Kelsey, written in 1928) on Google.  And the first match was a digitized book on Ancestry:  

I entered the name of Joseph Kelsey and easily found his family sketch on page 65.  

3)  Huh???  I searched Ancestry for him.  I went back and looked again on Ancestry - I missed the entry (there were 4,413 matches) - his family sketch was the 3rd entry on the list in "Public Member Stories" and I flat out missed it.  Perhaps I was distracted?  Or had a senior moment?  

No excuses - a genea-whiff!!  It's good to have a multi-pronged search, I guess. 

I downloaded the cover pages and the pertinent pages of the book that cover the three generations of ancestor Kelseys in the book and saved them to my Kelsey surname file folder on my computer.  

So "no harm, no foul" as they say in basketball - Google Saves!  I have what I needed, but I spent two hours finding it (but it was a "fun" two hours finding stuff I had forgotten about!).  I found out (again!) that I have a lot of loose papers not in the binders!  And I made this blog post about it.

Are any of my readers or other researchers this messed up?  I could revamp my whole file system and digitize everything, put it all in the computer files, but it would take years to do it.  Frankly, I'd rather explore for new ancestors and new information about my ancestors than do what I should have done over 35 years of research.  Genealogy stuff happens.  My bad.  But it's been fun!

I need some carrots to reward myself for this success!

FileShadow Launches Facebook Connector, Giving Small Businesses the Power to Collect and Post Images to Social Media

 I received this information from FileShadow recently:

======================================

FileShadow Launches Facebook Connector, Giving Small Businesses the Power to Collect and Post Images to Social Media

Any company or person using Facebook Pages can post content from their FileShadow Library

Aug. 22, 2023—Provo, Utah—FileShadow™ has enabled small businesses and individuals to publish content from their FileShadow Libraries to Facebook Pages. The new feature allows content-heavy users, such as photographers, attorneys, medical practitioners, family historians, and other professionals and individuals to post content to their Facebook Pages directly from FileShadow.

FileShadow is a SaaS service that collects a user’s content from wherever it’s located—cloud storage, email, hard drives, etc.—and gathers that content into a FileShadow Library. Through the service, which can be used on a desktop, a browser or a mobile device, users can share their content with others.

“The Facebook connector with FileShadow is the first of many connectors we’ll deliver to help our users post their content to their customers and groups,” said Tyrone Pike, president and CEO of FileShadow. “For the past few years, we’ve been building the connectors to your content, and now we are building applications to share that content with anyone, making it easy to find your content and then share it with others—your customers, family, friends or anyone.”

For businesses using FileShadow, they can connect their content wherever it’s stored, and then post that content to their business’ Facebook Page. Items that can be posted include logos, graphics, product photos, etc. The message and images can be posted from the FileShadow App.

Individuals can post to their Pages or family group pages. For example, a grandma can have her extended family contribute images of a recent family vacation or family history documents to a FileShadow Website Collection. The grandma can then post those images to the family’s Facebook Page for extended family members to see.

“Using FileShadow's new feature to post directly to Facebook has been a complete game-changer for me,” said Fred Whitridge, Chairman and CEO at Millennium Slate LLC. “Instead of juggling between different platforms and spending time downloading and re-uploading files, I can now seamlessly share my content directly from my storage accounts to Facebook. This convenience has made my social media experience smoother and more efficient.”

FileShadow connects data into a content library, supporting more than 1,000 file formats, including:

• Cloud storage accounts (Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe’s Lightroom solutions, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive and Slack);
• Email (Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Gmail, iCloud Mail, Yahoo! Mail and IMAP servers);
• Local storage (macOS and Windows Desktops);
• Mobile devices (iOS and Android);
• Network and direct-attached storage (NAS/DAS) devices.

With FileShadow, users share images directly to Facebook from the FileShadow app. FileShadow also allows users to post content through the Website Collection Manager. Website Collections can be shared with anyone, regardless of where they are located or using FileShadow. Anyone inside or outside the FileShadow system can contribute files to Website Collections.

A Facebook Page is the central hub for managing business content to keep customers updated about a business or a service. Users post content, promote it and connect with potential customers. More than 200 million businesses use Facebook tools to reach customers with a potential audience of 3 billion monthly active users worldwide.  

For a free 30-day trial of FileShadow, visit www.fileshadow.com.

About FileShadow

The FileShadow service aggregates files from cloud storage accounts (Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe’s Lightroom solutions, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive and Slack); email (Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Gmail, iCloud Mail, Yahoo! Mail and IMAP servers); local storage (macOS and Windows Desktops); mobile devices (iOS and Android); and network and direct-attached storage (NAS/DAS) devices.

Using machine learning, FileShadow provides superior indexing and searching capabilities.
