On Wednesday, January 26th - myself and @mishjholman are setting you a challenge. We want as many people interested in genealogy to tell your genealogy story either in the form of a blog post, Facebook/Instagram post, Twitter thread or any form that you like! An open notebook with text ...
We'd love to read about how you got into genealogy, your favourite discovery/part about genealogy and where do you hope to see the genealogy world/community/industry in the future? We hope to have all posts showing on social media throughout January 26th (so you can schedule them
for that date if you wish!) and then share it on social media with the hashtag #MyGenealogyStory or tag me on social media on the relevant platform:

A thread... but one I feel is quite important to be discussed.

As family historians/genealogists, we are often taught how to research in the past. But what about the here and now? At the #GenealogyForAll discussion I co-hosted a few weeks ago, the topic of gender... /1
...identities as well as the different kinds of relationships [can't take credit and don't want to as they weren't my ideas, just merely wanted to share these very valid points] Firstly, when someone fills out their profile on a family history site, they are given three... /2
options: male, female and unknown. And one might not identify as any of these three options. What do we do for this? On the topic of relationships, I've family who are in a relationship but aren't married, yet if you choose another option other than 'married' it puts them... /3

AN UPDATE TO THE BELOW:

To clarify the largely asked questions (read full thread) "How will FG know if the person is related?" - I got this from Peter Drinkwater at @FindaGrave who I hadn't mentioned in my original post. Apologies for confusion - this is what I received... [1/] A beige background with tex...
"On the question of how to make sure someone is related, it’s a good question and one of the trickier parts of the change. We’ve thought about and have plans for it, but will need to watch it carefully. Our plans focus on limiting the number of relationships someone can... [2/]
...claim, so while there will surely be some cases of people claiming to be a relative when they are not, it shouldn’t be an avenue for significant abuse or for people to accumulate large numbers of memorials to manage which we hope will be a disincentive to abuse. We’ll.. [3/6]

A thread...

Following my thread about FG I began contacting people to try and speak to someone to FG about a waiting period and last night I spoke to @FindaGrave and this is what's coming.

*NOTE* In this thread is only what I've been told in an email, it may change. 1/ A yellow-ish toned photo of a graveyard with text on top say
So first things first:
"When a Find a Grave member creates a memorial for a person who has died recently, we'll ask if they are related. If they are, they can create a memorial that will look and act just like other Find a Grave memorials on the site... 2/
If the person who creates the memorial is not related, for the first three months we'll show the memorial in a limited form (to discourage duplication) and family members will be able to assume management of the memorial, if they would like to, without requesting it from the... 3

A thread...

[To @Ancestry/@FindaGrave]

One thing I want to try and achieve is to help improve the genealogy community and industry as a whole. And a major thing I want to improve on is FindaGrave. You might think "here he goes on his rant again" but hear me out... [1/15]
While FindaGrave has proved to be an invaluable tool for family historians and genealogists all around the world seeing headstones of ancestors or relations that are very far away. (For example me being in Ireland and having relatives buried in New York)... [2/15]
It has also proved to be a place that brings uncalled distress and bitterness. The culprit? Impatience and a competition to increase people's stats. If you had been previously unaware of this @Ancestry, I invite you to read this thread... [3/15]
