I have sent a report through Discord support as a privacy issue, but there is nowhere to specifically report impersonation. I am honestly disappointed at how difficult @discord_support makes it to report someone for impersonation, giving no clear path to resolve the issue.

[🌳Jarrett Ross🧬 @GeneaVlogger]

Apparently someone made an accounts impersonating me on @Discord. I DO NOT MESSAGE PEOPLE I DONT KNOW ON DISCORD! If this person messages you, please report immediately! @discord_support
My username - geneavlogger
Impersonator usernames - geneavlogger. and .geneavlogger

[🌳Jarrett Ross🧬 @GeneaVlogger]

I have had 12+ people tell me this person messaged them, all of whom said they also reported the user. In researching this, it seems to be a constant issue on Discord and a lot of the advice was basically "Don't expect Discord to do anything."

Most of us black Americans, don't have the slightest clue about our family history. Even after we were enslaved and brought here, we weren't recorded as citizens, just property. Despite this @GeneaVlogger managed to do the seemingly impossible. https://t.co/ejpRnEh6D2

My latest episode of Youtuber Family Trees dives into the intriguing history of Jabari Walker, whose ancestors were enslaved on El Destino Plantation near Tallahassee, FL.

I uncovered some very interesting World War 2 stories in the family tree of @TastingHistory1.

[🌳Jarrett Ross🧬 @GeneaVlogger]

Some of my ancestors were part of this community in 17th century Brazil, but went back to Amsterdam in 1654.

I recently saw The Breakthrough on Netflix, a mini-series about a double-murder in Sweden which was solved using Investigative Genetic Genealogy. I made a review video discussing what they got right, what they got wrong, and breaking down some of the information in more depth.

[🌳Jarrett Ross🧬 @GeneaVlogger]

Max Miller of @TastingHistory1 will be joining me on a live stream this Friday to discuss his experiences as a guest on my series Youtuber Family Trees and learning the in-depth stories of his family history.

@KingsGenerals @beatmastermatt I used to be a hardcore wikipedian in the early 2000s to about 2007, and this was a big debate in the community for years. The inclusionists vs. the deletionists.

Something you may find in a C-File - Discharge Records

This DD-214 Certificate is for the grandfather of @TastingHistory1. I was lucky to have @Alecferretti

Have you used our shiny new website yet?

It's for searching the huge newly-freed BIRLS database of US veterans -- and making a FREE-FOIA-by-FAX for copies of the actual veterans benefits claims files (C-Files) right from the search results!

Check it out: https://t.co/vflAhxzVwn

[🌳Jarrett Ross🧬 @GeneaVlogger]

On today's stream with @Cynical_History, I mentioned the new website from Reclaim the Records which allows you to search the index of the BIRLS Database and then submit a FOIA request through the website.

The example here is Cypher's grandfather Arthur P Patton
