Today is Memorial Day, which holds meaning far beyond a long weekend. It’s a time to pause and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. As someone who spends much of my life exploring the past, I find this day especially moving. Behind every military record or weathered gravestone is someone who mattered and whose choices, sacrifices, and stories are still felt today.

I wrote a short article reflecting on what Memorial Day means to genealogists and anyone who values remembrance. If you have a moment today, I’d love for you to read it.

Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful day,

Hit a dead end in your family history research? You’re not alone—and I’ve been there myself more than once. That’s why I created the Genealogy Gold Q&A Podcast, an ongoing podcast series where I answer real questions from people digging into their family history. Whether you’re dealing with missing records, mysterious ancestors, or confusing DNA results, send your question my way. I’ll do my best to assist you in moving forward with your search.

Submit your question, and let’s see where the journey takes you.

Happy Searching!
