Thank you! I always learn so much watching your channel.

[deboraswarner]

Learning about lots of new sites and ways to use ones I already knew about.

[erinfecik]

Another great video with lots of information. Thank you Connie

[Altazmuth]

Thank you so much for this information.

This was an awesome show! My birthday is April 17th. Happy Birthday early to you!

[cardfan]

Great video! I’ve hit a brick wall with my gggf. I think this would be very helpful. Thank you.

I was born in 1946. My people put down birth and death dates in the family Bible. This was done because most children were born at home. I have a 1855 Bible that was written with a quill from my great aunt husband's family, the John Brown line.

We found 2 family bibles, same family, but one of the bibles is in very poor condition. It was in a plastic bag, it’s been since been transferred to a cloth bag. But we found some old funeral memorials with it. One for my gg grandma and one for my great grandpa.

Isn't Geni a global tree... where your tree becomes part of a larger tree? I have tried placing trees on other sites..other than ancestry.. but I don't update them.. or go back and correct... can't frankly remember what I have on what site... so I stick with one.. and I only subscribed to ancestry... back up to Family Tree Maker... so I have copies of images of various documents.

I love looking on eBay. My great great uncle, Ky Laffoon, was a famous golfer, and I found a really cool pic of him and my great grandfather on eBay. And I found one of Ky’s golf clubs signed by him! Thank you for these sites! Your content is so helpful! If I had the time I’d love to just watch all your content for days and become a genealogist master! Maybe one day! lol

Connie still hoping Ancestry will allow us to add a specific page or half page to explain our tree on Ancestry. We decide if its public or private.
Also id like to be able to send a message to more than one member at time from my DNA matches. Be able to tick who i want to send the same message to
How can i send these suggestions to Ancestry?

[diannesellers]

Thank you very much for this video! I have papers everywhere. Now to organize!

[carollynn]

As ALWAYS., you give SO MUCH! THANK YOU
.Just wanted to say Happy Belated Birthday

[renacruz-horton]

Hello and Happy Birthday. I would like to be included in your live on Thursday. Thnx 🎉🎉🎉

[Idellphany]

Thank you so much, I wish I could be a genealogist. Are there any vids about that process? Again thank you so much!

[Red__Penguin]

Do you have any videos I could watch to help learn to research daily lives and cool facts?

[ceciliaseiber]

I just ran across a problem that I don’t know how to explain it. I have a cousin with a common ancestor from the 1600. He did dna and I have done dna but according to ancestry we are not related through dna. The only thing I can think of it is that it is too far down the line to connect. Do you have any suggestions

[kennethdavis]

Hi I thought I heard you announce Ancestry was treating all records the same so we call access US and International files from the lower tiered account. I still can’t access international files from my account. Did I miss something? Thanks
