Learn about your family history

This newsletter is all about our shared family history and the stories of our ancestors. The families we may discuss include the Chapman, Eckert, Kidder, Longnecker, McMahan, Mitchell, Taschwer, and Thompson surnames.

Enjoy casual genealogy

You don’t have to be an expert genealogy researcher to enjoy this newsletter. (After all, I’m certainly not.) All content is casual — and free.

How does this work?

Read when it suits you

Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. If you’re not interested in the story that day, just delete it — you won’t hurt anyone’s feelings, I promise.

All subscribers are private and no one else gets your email, so you can remain a totally anonymous reader if you want to.

Join the conversation

Have a question or want to share some family history information? Just reply to any email. We can talk one-to-one, or I can share your comments with the group. It’s up to you.
