I understand that a big event is happening tomorrow so maybe nobody will look at this until Monday.  Good luck solving this puzzle and good luck to the Cardinals:

Post your answer in the comments.

At the Mesa Family History Expo 2008 held in November, I presented “Navigating Research with the Genealogical Proof Standard.”  On February 27, I will be presenting it again at the 5th Annual St. George Family History Expo 2009.

Good morning to all ye genealogists. Got your thinking caps on? 

Its time for more rebus puzzle fun.

HINT: Passed from mother to children.

Thanks,

What do you mean you have never heard of it before?  You must not be on Twitter. 

What is Twitter you ask?

The quick explanation of Twitter is that it is like blogging, but you only have 140 characters to get your message across.  Some call it micro blogging.  What do you twitter about?  You answer the question: “What are you doing?”  Some take it literally and some just share what they are thinking about at the time.  It is a great way to connect with others you may never meet in person.  It is also a great way to get the inside scoop on things that are happening in the genealogy world.

Twitter Detective

When I joined twitter on 19 December 2008, one of the first people that I “followed” was Paul Allen, the CEO of FamilyLink.com.  What that means is that any “tweet” that Paul posts, I would see as well.  I was able to follow Paul on his recent trip to Auckland, New Zealand.  And that is where I first heard about GenSeek.
