Does anyone know if I can cancel my ancestry subscription today in order to get the rootstech discounts? #rootstech #genealogy #ancestry #rootstech2026

Just found some records pointing to my great granduncle fleeing from Hungary in 1946 and coming to the Bronx in 1949 but i only see one census and one ship manifest in the US 😅 if anyone feels like helping me #genealogy #familyhistory

I wrote my great grandparents’ story in this compilation book (volume 2). One of the coolest things I’ve been able to do with family history! #genealogy

Hi i had like no storage so I’ve had bluesky offloaded but 🤣 moved some things around. Who is still on here?

I’m 🤏 close to dabbling in German but i really need improve my Hungarian

Yes, definitely not trusting those trees. She was Catholic and immigrated to Boston around 1883/4 with her parents. She later married Patrick Travers from Donegal in Boston.

Have you looked up the Leeds method? There are some great YouTube videos on it. Especially from the creator (Dana Leeds) and Yourdnaguide / Diahan Southard

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Omg the reconstructed ancestors feature of 23&me is so interesting but I can’t afford to get a full year of premium rn 😭🤣 especially not for multiple accounts since you can’t manage kits on 23&me #genealogy #23andme

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

I actually checked and I’m pretty sure i would need to request it from the city / state for a boston death in 1936 but I don’t want to spend that money loll

000

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Anyone know where I can find a death record for Boston in 1936? #genealogy #familyhistory

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Hm i actually found a birth record for her child that says she was born in Killarney but there’s several slightly conflicting records attached on familysearch. They’ve attached her parents’ marriage record in two towns quite far from each other. I’ve also seen conflicting last name for her mom.

100

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Unfortunately her name is Catherine Sullivan 😭 but dna journeys point to one of these areas. I’m also going through dna matches now. I have a pretty consistent birth year (~1871) but don’t see a birth with the matching parents. I’m going to look again though.

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Decided to start over with researching my Irish 2x great grandma because i cannot figure out where she was born or who her parents were (concretely). & her familysearch profile has a bunch of info i don’t trust. Any advice? #genealogy #familyhistory

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Got excited bc i got a notif for a 50cM match on myheritage but the largest segment is only 8cM, they don’t match with my dad & have a completely diff background from my mom sooo seems a little fishy idk #genealogy

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Okay I have a Hungarian italki lesson in 2 hours, let me prepare 🤣 #langsky

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Hmmm okay interesting thank you

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

I got the ancestry all access membership that apparently includes Newspapers.con but almost everything is telling me to upgrade … so what exactly does all access allow me to do on newspapers ? #ancestry #genealogy #newspapers

100

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Also I’ve continued this momentum and built so much of my family tree and figured out who other close dna matches are! Including someone famous 🤫 #genealogy #familyhistory

020

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Omg I’ve been wanting to find a photo like this for a while. Both of my grandmas together 🥹 #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

0100

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

I also quickly found the husband of one of these cousins which led me to confirming the relationship to my grandma’s closest dna match on ancestry! I had his tree partially built for years and never figured it out! #familyhistory #genealogy

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Had such a huge #genealogy break through last night! I got a hint on family search for my grandma’s oldest (half) aunt that I had very little information on. This led me to finding her husband and 7 new first cousins of my grandma! The oldest was born 53 before her 😭 #familyhistory

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Thank you so much! Just need to figure out how I’m gonna afford it lol 🤣

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Just got the invite for family reunion in Hungary for next year 😅 i need to save so much money 🤡 #genealogy #familyhistory

020

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Mind you i messaged this person a couple years ago to connect and share information….and these crazy changes were made in July of this year

000

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Came across another mess made by someone on family search Omg 🤦 made someone’s aunt and uncle their parents because they had a first cousin with a similar name / birthday. Looks like there might be some more issues but i messaged them and trying to work some of it out #familyhistory #genealogy

#langsky An interesting find! Some characters in a 1900s Welsh-language scifi speaking #Esperanto, as auxlangs have become commonplace in the world

A photo of a few lines from a Welsh-language novella that includes two characters briefly speaking Esperanto.

Also scheduled another Hungarian lesson on italki! I’d like to do 2 per month or so #langsky

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Yes it’s really amazing, some lines go pretty far back and on others, i have more recent brick walls. But there are ways around a lot of those so I stay positive lol

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

It was a record set I’m so familiar with and have looked through dozens of times but I noticed a death entry in an index with the surname I was looking for but didn’t list the first name. I decided to check just in case and boom! My 4x great grandma #genealogy #familyhistory

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Connection to my grandma’s 2nd & 3rd closest dna matches on myheritage! I’ve been trying to figure it out for years lol. They would be her 3C1R & 3C2R! This also led me to find my 4x ggma death, my 5x ggparents & and a set of 6x! #genealogy #familyhistory

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Omg had such a #genealogy break through moment last night. I was randomly looking at some branch of my grandma’s family which led me to some hints and then records research. I started to see some really familiar names and as I reviewed them, I realized I accidentally made the- #familyhistory

Brendan @monteoapati.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

I usually listen 😅 even if idk it, i try to figure out what they’re speaking
