Saturday Round-Up of Family History Substack Posts for the Week.
I share the Family Historian Community’s posts that landed in my inbox this week. When there is more than one post during the week from the same Substack Newsletter, I only post one, so make sure to browse their posts.

Weekly Cross-post
Based on the posts found on GenStack, we cross-post one article each week on Mission: Genealogy’s Substack. If you allow cross-posts, you might see your article on Mission: Genealogy. How do we choose which article to cross-post? It stands out as impactful, worth reading, or pretty amazing. Watch for these cross-posts on Sundays.
Here is our cross-post from this week:
Ok, this video series has my complete attention on multiple levels. The content is powerful and necessary. The production, well...I am enamored with the presentation and Stephanie's voice. If you're looking for great content or want inspiration for video production, check out The DNA Journey: Piecing it Together. -
The Sixteen
wrote Family Reunions: Our Sixteens, which inspired to write Sixteen Names, Endless Possibilities. The two articles have ignited a flame that continues to grow. Each week I read more posts that add to the trend of sharing our sixteen Great-Great Grandparents here on Substack. The potential for making connections is tremendous and the genealogical value is priceless. So, I’m adding a section to GenStack that will include The Sixteens posts that land in my inbox for the week. I am hoping to highlight them and give them a specific location on GenStack so they are easily found, for as long as they are trending.
Usually, this list will contain any posts with the Sixteen great-great-grandparents that came to my inbox for the week. However, this is the first time I have included The Sixteen so I will share the posts thus far. This section will continue as long as there are posts for The Sixteens. If I’ve missed yours, feel free to DM to let me know and I’ll add it.
Take a look at the names and see if you find any that are in your family tree. You never know who you might be related to and what kind of game-changing genealogy sources you might encounter.
Thanks for the mentions Robin. Looks like there is great reading to catch up on here. Thanks for keeping us updated.
