Working on my 7x great-grandfather, Edward Fenn of Wallingford, CT. I have isolated a chr1 DNA marker and just need to recruit some Ancestry.com matches with English Fenns to join GEDmatch so I can triangulate. Easy, right? #genealogy #dna

Edward and Mary (Thorpe) Fenn from Wallingford, CT are my 7x great-grandparents, and where Edward was from in Britain has been much debated in genealogy circles for over a century. I am hoping DNA triangulation can help answer that. #genealogy

A Ring doorbell video shows a Chattanooga police officer kicking the door and rushing into a burning building to save a mother and her two children. Rachel Blaylock can be heard screaming “There’s a fire!” as flames spread. She says Officer Eli Rogers didn’t hesitate. Original post

John Roberts wants a country run by white supremacist billionaires, who get to secretly spend as much as they want to install a dictator who can break the law whenever he wants.

The Geneva Conventions, specifically Additional Protocol I (1977), prohibit attacking, destroying, or rendering useless indispensable objects for the civilian population, including power generation plants and supplies.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.” Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration. Weird coincidence.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:

Imagine what Trump could do with the power over his cult if he made a speech like this; if he called for love and unity instead of hate and division.

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmel’s show was a “business decision.”

Sometimes locating the objects of one’s study may require coming at record collections from dozens of angles — subtle name variations, geography, and relations/associations — until you find the tiny crack. Persistence is a virtue. #genealogy
