Thank you for your comments, thoughts, and encouragement. They are the glue that holds this community together. The little ❤️s you drop keep us motivated and give this series a little more visibility. Feel free to create clips from this post to share with your friends.</p><p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://projectkin.org/"><strong>Projectkin</strong></a> programming is offered free thanks to the kind support of our generous <a target="_blank" href="http://projectkin.org/patrons"><strong>patrons</strong></a> around 🌏 the 🌍 world 🌎.</p></p><p>Connecting Heart, Home, and Family</p><p>Today’s episode centered on the subtle ways in which a place becomes part of a family. Jennifer’s conversation with Kate and Jill is a terrific introduction to their program later in the week: </p><p>Jill Swenson: The Town of Warroad near Lake of the Woods</p><p>Jill starts with a touching view of home in this remote, and in winter, very cold part of Minnesota’s “Chimney” near Lake of the Woods. It’s hard to appreciate the geography without a map: </p><p>Jill framed the experience of returning home in the context of her mother’s story and how this place pulled her in. (Jill’s new memoir, <a target="_blank" href="https://jilldswenson.com/">The Land of Everlasting Sky</a>, is available in bookstores and has started shipping to pre-orders.) Thursday’s program promises to be a fascinating weave of place, cultures, and grief. Learn more about Jill and her publication at:</p><p>Katherine Brodt: 1890s Home on Vinalhaven, Maine</p><p>Kate’s story takes us to the Atlantic coast island of Vinalhaven, her family home from the 1980s, with a history dating back to the 1890s. As a trained historian with experience connecting families to the history of a house museum, Kate has turned her skills to getting to know the strangers who lived in her home. It started for Kate with an itch of curiosity, a collage, and now a growing Substack publication. </p><p>We look forward to hearing more about both of these stories and considering how they might inspire our own work. In fact, the UK-based Society of Genealogists’ window for submission of talks for this year’s “All About That Place” (AATP) series is still open. Consider your own studies about place, one-place studies, and even changing places, and submit your ideas by June 30th. <a target="_blank" href="https://sog.org.uk/all-about-that-place-call-for-speakers/">Learn more here</a>. </p><p>Projectkin will again be a co-sponsor of the event, October 7-16, offering our own series of livestreamed programs. Programs from last year can still be viewed at <a target="_blank" href="http://Projectkin.org/aatp">Projectkin.org/aatp</a>. Stay tuned for more. </p><p>As Projectkin, we’re here to help families tell their stories in any form. I feel strongly that our collections of photos and other artifacts are key to our memories and, in turn, our stories. </p><p><p>If you have a publication of your own, and you think your friends might find this interesting, why not let your friends know with a recommendation? </p><p>This nifty button, “<a target="_blank" href="http://your.substack.com/publish/recommendations">your.substack.com/publish/recommendations</a>,” takes you to your own recommendations dashboard. (Seriously, try it!) </p><p>Naturally, I’d love a recommendation, but I also encourage everyone to be generous in sharing recommendations for the publications you enjoy. It helps us find each other as family history buffs in the nicest possible way. 🥰 </p></p><p>Oh, one more thing — if you think this post might interest a friend or colleague, why not just pass it along?</p><p>These are public posts, and our events are free because sharing your stories is that important.

Explore our story and join us 👇.</p></p><p>Listening for the Story with “sir” Paul 🥐</p><p>I’ve been chasing Paul Chiddicks to join me in a Projetkin event for a year or more. We’d never quite been able to find a time that worked. As I’ve gotten to know him, his personal story of coaching has added a richness to the whole that he adds to our family history community. </p><p>It’s an honor to have made the calendar adjustments to make both today’s program and to arrange for our special episode on Adelaide’s story on Wednesday this week. If you haven’t already, take a moment to register. We’ll wait. </p><p>Well done. In our conversation this morning, Paul talked about how he’s used his research skills since filling out the structural genealogical elements of his family tree to explore the stories that unfold from the limbs. He mentioned several that came to him, among them</p><p>* The American pilot’s gravestone, he discovered while on his walk: </p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://chiddickstree.substack.com/p/the-boy-behind-the-picture">The Boy Behind The Picture</a>, the story of the little newsboy on the day after the Titanic sank:</p><p>* Finally, Adelaide’s story. There is so much behind this story. Paul referenced a few elements in our conversation, but each is worthy of a little exploration ahead of Wednesday’s program. First, is this piece on Substack about the photograph itself: </p><p>Next is the original post on his Chiddicks Family Tree site that went viral with the story of Adelaide Springett: </p><p>On Wednesday, Paul will share the details of this incredible story, the connection to the industrialization of England, Jack-the-Ripper, and a larger story that connects with everyone of us as we witness poverty in our own lives. </p><p><p>Is this the kind of post you think your friends and followers might appreciate as well? Kindly add a recommendation so they know how you feel. You’ll be doing us the favor of spreading our work. </p><p>Thank you. </p></p><p>I’m able to share these and all of our programs and posts for free thanks to both the economics of modern platforms and the generous support of our wonderful Projectkin patrons. You’re more than welcome to share this post with friends and family to encourage them to take the time to consider their own stories.
