 Happy 4th of July 2025! I hope you enjoy time with your family and friends!
If you just can't help yourself from doing genealogy over the long weekend, perhaps capture stories about how you or your ancestors celebrated the 4th of July. Did they go on picnics? Travel to the lakes? Have a backyard celebration? Or perhaps they attended a parade and watched fireworks? All these stories help create a richer family story. Enjoy!

It is so easy to continue researching but our work becomes the most useful when we share our information with others. Let’s look at ways to do this.
I hope you had a good Memorial Day with your family and friends. Memorial Weekend makes me think more about my ancestors than usual…if that is possible for a genealogist to do! There is something comforting and empowering to think of those who came before us. Let’s look.

Sometimes if we are lucky, we find the ship manifest records that tell us when they came and who they came with. There are other ways to enhance their story. Let’s look.
We have all probably wished we could speak to one of our ancestors. Wouldn’t it be great to ask those questions whose missing answers are preventing us from breaking through some of our brick walls in research? While we can’t speak to people long gone, we can take the time to interview and talk with our present-day relatives. Let’s look.

If you're lucky enough to have your mother in your life yet, give her an extra hug and spend some time together. For those who have left us, today is a good day to remember them. Perhaps you can share a story about them with your family or jot down some memories to share with future generations. We are all more than the key dates in our histories. Enjoy the day!

Another source that has been useful for me is Luxracines.lu. Let’s look.
