1st Quarter 2025 Genealogy Newsletter

Under the Umbrella

Our Under the Umbrella Newsletter is now Quarterly. We heard you. And we have compiled it for you here for Jan - March 2025. The best way to follow us is by using the linktr.ee/hittinthebricks link. Using this one link will connect you to all the latest articles, podcast, posts, our social media, and the Under the Umbrella family as listed here. 

It's best to subscribe.  Subscribers, to the linktr.ee/hittinthebricks  site will be able to access the seasonal specials and price reductions of genealogy tools (i.e. DNA kits).  And, some of our links are also designated as Subscribers Only.  Know that we do not send out newsletters, we do not email you.  If you know John and Kathleen, we are too lazy for that. If there's something absolutely amazing, like ancestry kits dropped to $39 or less, we may push it out to you. If you purchase through our links, the profits go to our Veteran charity projects (see #3 below

So I Will Share, authored by Kathleen Brandt

If you want to share your race-based stereotypes, know that I am prepared to respond.  I know your issue is not my race but your ignorance of history.  I know the American education system has given you permission to embrace half-truths of America's history; while disregarding the parts of history that do not benefit you.  I know it gives you the power to share your uninformed knowledge because to accept the facts, to learn the truth, somehow hurt you, instead of lifting me.  I know this is your choice.  But I am prepared to respond. I am an eager eraser of ignorance. If you know the truth, share the truth. If not, I will.  It's my gift. Albeit, obnoxious, unbearable, and sometimes annoying. It's my gift.  Help your brother when they are weak, I was told. Lift up the misfortunate , they said. Do good and share with others, I've heard.  Be generous with your time and treasure, it is written  Well, My Friend, I've been blessed...
