I’m stepping into 2026 with a plan, not a panic. 🗓✨

For years, I watched amazing family stories get stuck in notebooks and photo boxes because sitting down to “figure out what to post” felt overwhelming.

Set aside one focused hour this week to schedule your posts, then spend the rest of your time engaging with others who share your passion for uncovering the past.

From dusty archives to digital screens, genealogy connects past and present in the most human way possible—through shared stories. Social media is today’s meeting hall for family historians, where discoveries spark conversations and ancestors find new life through connection.

Join the online genealogy community and share one story, one photo, or one mystery you’re working on. You never know who might hold the missing piece of your family puzzle.

Behind every ancestor’s story is a maze of records waiting to be found. Archives like this hold the whispers of generations—births, migrations, triumphs, and losses—all patiently waiting for someone to listen.

What’s the most surprising discovery you’ve ever made in an archive or record collection?
