My 6th g grandparents were indentured mulattoe servants. All of the neighbors were listed as black ir mulattoes with only a few white families in Edgecombe NC. I've searched for years to find the family beyond the 6th- Sadly, nothing. The mullatoes were supposedly Indian descendants of either of Scottish or Black and Indian or black and Scottish. Very difficult. The oldest photo we can find is definitely Indian, not African but only God knows. 😂

How did you get to where you can see your grandmother's relations? (about 12:38min into the video) I've gone back over and over and can't see how you got there. I'm on my computer on another screen, I logged into my FS account and can't figure out how you did that with your grandmother.

Thank you so much for this video!

tjank you. where do i get the....see your relationsgips....

So helpful to where I am with things. You are my #1 favorite genealogist.

I am grateful for this video, but it doesn't tell me who my mum's nephew's child is to me.

Awesome. How do you see the Ethnicity % Round Pie Chart at a glance, on both the phone app, and desktop?

if someone pops up in a tree. how do I find out the connection to me. it stops with that person. thanks

How do you get one if you're not married? My girlfriend and I are not married. We have life insurance on each other

This was great! Thanks so much for these great ideas. ❤

With black Americans we really did move more due to slave owners moving then after slavery many former slaved moved to different parts of the south and the The Great Migration made many of my family go north.

I just lost my whole tree to someone who think certain ancestor also had different names, had children after dead... so on. I contacted the person and explained that her changes is changing my relatives. She just keeps going.

Thank you, Ms. Cross. Overwhelmed by paper genealogies I've inherited. Low personal interest in them, but an appreciation for the effort they represent. Wow. Just want to do the right thing...

You say Albemarle way different than we do here in VA! Say Norfolk next! Out of towners always say it funny.

Would you include postcards in this group of documents? I recently found family photos on etsy. I recognized the names on the back. I only found them because someone uploaded the photo to family search. The seller is sending me the rest that haven't sold.

My Library has VA only.

Did ancecery know tplay a part of making our society less racist.....some folks think its possiable to be of one nationality still.in 2024 its a think of the past .open your world up cuz its all relative.

Really great video with such helpful information! Thank you! I hadn't seen you before, but have now subscribed, as I am the (newly minted) family historian and will be scanning a lot!

Hi Aimee. Catching up on the replay

People can’t even die in peace because of people like you hunting them down in the cemetery

I have two wives but they show up one at a time on my family tree. What do I do?

Same as newspapers, always more hearts and purses to bleed from death and obituaries, and higher chance and option to rewrite history.

18:00 i was hoping you have the latest version of the hint comparison/auto -standardize! Thanks

App seems hard to use but I’ve found some relatives

Sounds weird but does this woman look like she has a dash of black in her.

I still don’t understand second cousin

Our family shares photos, stories, and information on a group Facebook page open only to direct family members or people who have been invited by the administrator of the account. This has been a great way to share old photographs and stories that everyone can see and copy if they want that have come from older family members who have died. Members are getting to see pictures they have never seen before.

A few minutes after installing GoldieMay I broke through a brick wall for an elusive 4G grandmother who married in 1870 then disappeared into a poor farm, widowed in about 1902. I found her brother living nearby in the same town and their parents from his marriage record. Thank you both so much!

I joined Aimee's Crew, but can't get the handout. How do I get that.

Chromosome browser please…….. Can’t understand how or why this gets overlooked. Poor show

Indiana.....usa

Thank you! I didn't realize there was a naming pattern, I just thought my ancestors liked a very small number of names! Very helpful!

With the help of DNA matches, I finally found my correct Irish ancestor. Not ready to go back to Ireland just yet

When I attach an existing tree to mine, does all their research and work show up on my tree? Or do I have to manually put in all that family in myself onto my tree?

I've been waiting...waiting...waiting...for this "advanced matching" feature with Pro Tools (ability to see how much DNA your matches share with the matches you both share). They said it would be released in the first half of 2024, but here we are, about to reach June. Does anyone know when it's supposed to be available?

Currently unwinding what I was told for my Irish Ancestor's. Part of my problem is there are to many Helen's and Ross within that side of the family. The old naming of father's father then mothers father as the first and second sons and same with fathers mother and mothers father for first and second daughters rings true for my family.

This is very cool! I'm planning a family reunion for 2025 and this would be fantastic.! your underbite is just cute as hell by the way 🥰🤩

Aimee, thanks for doing this video with your cousin Sue. I have ADHD and have tried so many different methods to organize the photos. They didn't work for me. I feel overwhelmed so easily and just getting started sometimes feels like drowning. These ideas are so easy and common sense. You have no idea how much this video helped me. Tell you're cousin I said Thanks too

I have Irish ancestry and find that when it comes to the US one of the best resources are Naturalization papers which often list exact place names down to the townland (the lowest level of geography used in Ireland, especially to collect taxes). These are behind a paywall on sites like Ancestry, but if you don't have anything to do on get all your ducks in a row, subscribe for a month, and do as much as you can. One other I would say invaluable source, again on Ancestry, are US Social Security records (I think death records), especially if you have an Irish born ancestor, born after civil records began in 1864, mainly because they state the exact birth date of the person which you can look up against the Irish Civil Records, which are free to look up births, marriages and deaths from the year 1864 until 1922 (1845 for Church of Ireland, Protestant, marriages, although the vast majority of Irish were Catholic so it's 1864 onwards for these marriage records). The Irish Civil Records are free to search on the irishgenealogy dot ie website (to to the Civil Records tab). I find censuses and ship passenger lists, although containing useful information like ages and family members to potentially at least partially validate an ancestors, less useful, but you never know what might be in one so don't just discard these sources. If you can get a townland and county then I also find the townlands dot ie really useful to search, but remember often people writing down these townland names in the US (and even in Ireland) didn't record them correctly so if you can't find an exact match try and see if there's a similar sounding one, and then go through to two Irish Censuses (1901 and 1911) and see if anyone with the same surname you are looking for is there (obviously if you're looking for a Quinn, Murphy, or O'Neill this might not be so useful, but if the surname you're looking for isn't so common it's worth at least seeing). Lastly there's always DNA and getting the nearest living member of the family to the Irish ancestor you're researching (as well as yourself of course) to test might reveal matches with well researched family trees that give even more clues. In the end it might be difficult, especially if the ancestor you're looking for emigrated before say 1840, and definitely before 1820, mainly because the records just aren't there (unless the person was of wealth or nobility, in which case they may have been written about). I would also say reach out to DNA matches, message them, and make use of local genealogical societies and Facebook groups, you never know someone might have a story passed down about a relative who went to America and that you'd never get in any record. I hope what I've written is of use to whoever may read it. There may be other ways, other sources, bury I just thought this might be of use to someone, it's what I do and have had success using it on some and other ancestors are still elusive, it there waiting to be found. Happy hunting!!!

So, are you saying that Ancestry owns public records?

You are awesome!

I don't know. I will try this. I do not want to join the religion, I just want to find my ancestors
