This week's 52 Ancestors post on Origins. Come read about my Ohio roots and a new project I'm starting this year. https://t.co/s1Ht8DltAI #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ohio

The Patchwork Genealogist is up and running again thanks to a rather optimistic New Year's Resolution (and the completion of the first draft of my novel).

Check out my welcome back post, the first installment of #52Ancestors, themed #FamilyLore. https://t.co/D2zRHepkFz

I'm not saying some anonymous dude #mansplained my novel to me. But he did. For the record, I #write #LitFic and some of it is semi-stream-of-consciousness - there is neither murder nor adultery in my #novel. At least I can confirm my #TargetAudience

My 8 year old: Family trees are confusing! Where's the bottom, anyway?

The #MainCharacter in my #novel is named Rabbie, short for Robert. #AutoCorrect insists it is Rabbi. This makes my novel something entirely other and I do not like it. #WriterProblems

[PatchworkGenealogist @PatchworkGenea]

@MarianBWood Thank you so much!

[PatchworkGenealogist @PatchworkGenea]

If I've been noticeably absent lately, and it seems like my #WomenOfLegacy #quilt project has stalled - it's because I've been madly working on my United in Ohio blue and gray wall hanging. #SoClose #IMadeThat #HandPiecing

[PatchworkGenealogist @PatchworkGenea]

@DeeLawDeeLaw Oh thank you!

[PatchworkGenealogist @PatchworkGenea]

Oh my heart is happy now!

New @MenInKiltsSTARZ Trailer exclusive with @TandCmag !

@gene_alogy Ah! This is relevant. My Hodde ancestors. Immigrated from Germany, lived long enough to have a baby in Cincinnati and then... *poof* GONE.

Any #Genealogists researching #FamilyHistory in #Ecuador (specifically #Ambato)? Give me your best hints, especially if travel to Ecuador isn't an option. I can't even find birth or death years for my husband's grandparents! #ResearchHelp

@TheRegencyCook I prefer tea leaf, which always seems to taste more fresh. For convenience I do use t-sac bags, especially at the office - easy clean up, fresh loose leaf flavor.

[PatchworkGenealogist @PatchworkGenea]

@TheRegencyCook It is a true miracle what can be accomplished with a bit of flour, butter and sugar!

It's a #Scotland sort of morning. Heather Tea from Edinburgh #Tea & Coffee Co, some work on an 1817 Scottish #sampler and a listen to one of my favorite #audiobooks - #Clanlands by @SamHeughan and @grahammctavish

YOU GUYS! I crossed the 50K word count in my #novel today. Based on my outline, I might only have another 50K to go. #RookieWriter #Benchmark #WritersOfTwitter #WritingCommmunity

My 8 year old has suggested I kiss this little dude because I am a princess. Base flattery aside, I have resisted the urge to find out if Prince Charming is living in disguise in my strawberries.

[PatchworkGenealogist @PatchworkGenea]

@EMC2Marisa Also 100% butter.

@HillbrookGeneal @danielmloftus I've tried to eradicate the Mrs. forenames from my trees, but here's one I've found in my line on FamilySearch. I find it most commonly with those folks who seem determined to trace their line back to the dawn of time and will do it by hook or by crook.
