Projectkin Live: Looking at the Week Ahead with Guest, Robin Stewart

Each Sunday when I do these Substack live programs, I’m always astonished at how fun they are. I hope they’re as entertaining for those watching from home (live or as a recording). As Bill Moore put it, the simple idea is to start the week with a little shared perspective about the week ahead. Today, I was delighted to welcome my collaborator in Mission: Genealogy, Robin Stewart. Many of you will recognize Robin of course from her fabulous weekly newsletter for the genealogy community on Substack, “GenStack.” It’s released each Saturday with a compendium of interesting genealogy-related (or adjacent) posts released during the past week. You can see past archives in the dedicated GenStack section of her publication, Genealogy Matters . While you’re there, take a moment to subscribe! Robin and I created Mission: Genealogy when we realized that the growing genealogy community on Substack needed something of a nexus, a place to gather and connect. Our little “welcome wagon” has two components playing out this week, so it seemed like just the right time to focus on it. First, we have our “Atlantic” and “Pacific” Gatherings: Tuesday in Europe and the Americas or Wednesday in Asia/Pacific. We don’t record these sessions so that they can be more comfortable and candid. Just come as you are and meet new friends in family storytelling.Next is the “Office Hours” component. As I shared in an emailed survey for Mission:Genealogy subscribers last week, we’ve explored a few different ways to handle Office Hours. Based on members’ feedback, I’ve decided on a new approach using Substack Live and live discussion. This a bit of an experiment. I’ll share the details and a Live scheduling link with Mission: Genealogy subscribers in a new post in a day or so. Stay tuned.If you’re interested in connecting with fellow genealogists here on Substack or just want more tips and tricks about using the platform, join us: Again, Mission: Genealogy is a second substack of mine and a collaboration with Robin Stewart. My primary focus is on the Projectkin Community, where we’re focused on exploring the best ways to share family stories.If you aren’t yet a subscriber, join us.
