About Projectkin, Barbara writes:
These are stories of a family’s journey. Objects, letters, and voices take them through migrations, tragedy, and triumph to teach family lessons of empathy and resilience. These stories matter to families today — and into the future. They're our responsibility to capture, preserve, and pass down.
At Projectkin, we’re here so that we can do this together.
This community is for family historians of all ages, skills, and interests. We meet in an online forum and at virtual events to share ideas, projects, and inspiration. We’re hooked on stories and eager to tell them in ways that will engage our siblings and children and the generations of descendants to follow them.
We invent and refine creative ways to capture and preserve our stories. Reimagined as PROJECTS, we can explore ideas independent of vendors. We freely combine our narratives with media, maps, and more.
We’ve flipped the digital platform.
Instead of examining platforms for features and specifications, we focus on stories to be told and audiences to engage. At Projectkin, platforms, tools, and hacks are shared like tips between cooks. 👩🍳 👨🏼🍳.
Once a good solution is found, members share it with the community as a specific, how-to project “recipe.” These recipes follow a consistent template that anyone can understand, with ingredients, tips, and lessons learned. Using the Chat platform here on Substack, community members can add comments and expand on them — perhaps even adding innovations.
The Lost 57 with Ron Williams
by Journeys into Genealogy
Imagine not knowing your grandfather’s history before he was 57. Ron Williams found himself in this situation and he has crossed the Atlantic from Canada to England to the US and back to Canada in search of answers. This has led him to write and self publish the book “The Lost 57”.

S08EP03 - "The Collier" with Adam Simpson-York
Each week, more ancestors written about in blogs, newsletters, and other forms of digital media will be added to The Ancestor Digest, a curated gallery of articles and posts about specific ancestors. Each new entry during the week will be noted here in this section.
