"Wait, I didn't know FamilySearch had this!" 😲

I've heard this comment frequently when I talk about this hidden list on FamilySearch.

As you know, FamilySearch privatizes profiles of the living (at least those you've marked as such).

But have you forgotten to document that some of your living relatives have passed on to the other side?

If you're managing a tree on FamilySearch, there's a specific feature that helps you find "living deceased" people that you may have forgotten about. I know I did.

Watch the walkthrough to find and fix this list, then tell me: Do You Have “Living Deceased” People in your FamilySearch Family Tree?

Locating Your Ancestor's Civil War Unit:

In How to Find Your Ancestor's Civil War Unit (https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/how-to-find-your-ancestors-civil-war-unit/), genealogist Amy Johnson Crow has this advice: "Knowing what unit he served in is key to getting into those records and making sure you have the right person." The key resources that may indicate the Civil War unit include obituaries, county histories, tombstones, and more.

To learn more about researching your Civil War ancestors, see the resources in Goal E2 of the United States page (https://www.thefhguide.com/project-9-united-statese2.html ).

Conflicting Dates in Records - Historical records frequently contain conflicting dates for the same event. Differences may occur in birth dates, marriage dates, death dates, or migration events. Understanding why these discrepancies occur helps researchers interpret records and establish more accurate timelines.

😄 You know you’re Irish…

When you have absolutely no idea
how to make a long story short.

If there’s a point to be made, it’ll get there eventually – after a few side roads, a bit of history, and someone else’s story thrown in for good measure.

🏡 Some words stay with us because they carry quiet truth. Passed from one generation to the next, they remind us what matters, and what does not.

“May you never forget
what is worth remembering,
nor ever remember
what is best forgotten.”
