Thanks!
Hey thanks I really appreciate the tip.
Thank you, Connie, for including me in this compilation! (And you're so right about comments -- it's great to hear from someone when they have that "a-ha" moment!)
Thanks @AmyJohnsonCrow for taking the time to submit a clip.
Thank you for having me as part of this video! So many amazing genealogy youtube channels these days and this video really gives a great overview of some of those channels.
Thanks for taking the time Jarrett. See you at RootsTech '24 I hope.
Thanks Connie 🙂You give so much to the genealogy community with your channel, and you promote others as well. You are truly a class act. 🙂
Thank you.
I completely agree!
It's very generous of you to promote other genealogy channels.
I try.
Great to see you helping in promoting the work of other You Tubers working in your field. All have their own unique set of skills and expertise that can be of great assistance to folks undertaking genealogy projects.
Yes... we all learn from each other.
Thanks for including the Write Your Family History channel in your video. We've reached a huge milestone, and I feel it's thanks to your followers.
Awesome Devon. Several said they had sub'd to all the channels. Keep on writing that family history! Thanks for participating.
Thank you for this Connie. I am preparing a presentation for my local Genealogy Group on using TH-cam in their Genealogy. I will add this link to the presentation handout, although you and two others in this video are already mentioned in my top four channels. Thanks for explaining about the ads. I have already accepted them as part of the package for getting such great learning from TH-cam, but it helped to know that you benefit ( even slightly) from them.
Connie, Thank you. I do subscribe to a couple of these other genealogists but it was nice to "meet" a few new ones. I loved that you promoted others. I even put a link on my Facebook wall so that any of my friends who were interested in genealogy would get to know you and the others. Thanks again.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing... and for your continued support of the channel.
Thank-you, Connie! Not only have a found new teachers, you've also taught me a bit about how you're compensated for your hard work. One question: How do you find time to breathe? All of this takes a lot of time, doesn't it? All the best to you!
LOL... Breathe. Yes... I find myself working everyday... I try to take the weekends off... but it is a lot to keep up with.. even comments. Thanks for watching.
I think this may be only the second time I've made a comment on a TH-cam Video but I realized while watching this video that I find your videos so informative and helpful that anytime I'm on Facebook and I see a post saying "I'm a newbie and I need help getting started with my family history research" my first thought is to tell them about your videos. Your video on things you wish you'd known when you started is a game changer and the top #1 thing I wish I'd known when I started was about your videos on TH-cam. So thank you for your great information
Oh man, you just made my day. Thank you so much.
Connie THANK YOU for sharing this excellent compilation of other youtubers who are also helping with genealogy AND for including each of their weblinks on their youtube channel was an awesome assistance! You are always so generous with your own information, and its truly admirable for you to be sharing other genealogists and their channels! I truly appreciate everything everyone does!
Thank you
She is so generous!
You just presented with a box of goodies of new creative people. I have mention this small fact:n you voice is calming, has a smooth tone and your pace of words is perfect. It’s easy to follow along so thank you.
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you for doing this compilation. I learned a lot about the multiple ways to support our reputable genealogy content creators, a few of which, like ad watching, cost the viewer nothing but time. I pay for TH-cam without the ads in order to enjoy my church's virtual worship services and Bible studies without interruption, and I had no idea about the importance of ad watching for content creators. I definitely won't hit that "skip ad" button when watching genealogy videos from now on!
Paying for TH-cam Premium is another way to help! If you pay for TH-cam Premium to skip the ads, TH-cam shares 55% of that revenue with the channels you watch on a pro-rata basis.
I love your channel anyway. This makes me respect you so much more that you are willing to help out other channels. No one has ever explained how TH-cam works like this. I appreciate it so much. I love genealogy I love finding out about my family.
I appreciate that!
Jarrett's channel is great, glad to see him included here. Looking forward to checking out the others. Thanks!
THIS IS SUPER! I have been wondering about other creators. I trust your information and teaching, Connie. I appreciate that you recommend these other creators. The "Connie Stamp of Approval" is what I was waiting for! Blessings to you.
LOL. Thanks.
What a lovely video promoting so many great TH-cam genealogy channels! I was already a subscriber to some, and now I am a subscriber to all!
Wonderful!
Thank you Connie for this great info. Some of these folks I had heard of and watched but some I did not know about. Great info!!
Thanks
Thank you Connie, some new ones there for me to look at. You do an amazing job and I am so grateful to you.
Thank you so much!
Well done Connie! This video is a very generous and kind gesture to your fellow TH-cam genealogists. I am now trying not to skip the adverts during their videos, but it isn't always easy.
I hear you. I’m right there with you.
Thank you for sharing these other TH-cam channels. Also, you didn’t share your other TH-cam channel- NC Ancestry for Genealogy 😊 And thank you for breaking it down on how we can support you all- even by watching commercials. I don’t think a lot of are aware how things like that can help you all as you help us.
Thank you Connie! There were a couple creators that I have not subscribed to - so I am now!!
Found you on TH-cam. Lucky me. I've been a rather lazy researcher for YEARS. I find myself at a stalemate. I look forward to all of your Utube programs. Thank you! (BTW I've been a member of Ancestry since 2005 and you are showing me all the new tricks and improvements)
Wonderful! Thanks.
Connie, thanks so much. I learned so much from this video. I already follow some of these other great podcasters but you also introduced some new-to-me ones. I greatly appreciate all you do for us genealogists.
How timely! A friend just asked me today how to get started researching her family and I sent her a link. I already subscribe to all but one of your featured guests. Now I need to subscribe to the one I did not know about!
Thank you for these referrals. I’ve added a few new channels in hopes of making one breakthrough for each one added!
Thanks Connie for including me in this video! It is fantastic to see how TH-cam has become such a great place for genealogy help. You're wonderful! Love your channel and all you do for us all.
Thanks my friend.
You’re the best! There were a few of these YT that I was not familiar with. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you Connie! Yes, this was very helpful. Love your videos and thanks for all the hard work you put into them 😊
Thanks @genieangel8384
Thanks for this Connie. I follow most of these channels already, but there are always some I've not seen yet, which I'll definitely be checking out, so thank you for doing this. It really does mean a lot to us.
Great video! I use several of these YT channels now but have learned of some new ones that I will be checking out. I have learned so much from your videos, I watch the over & over for help! Keep up the great work, I’ll be watching💜☮💜
Thanks, Connie! There were two channels in your video that I wasn’t yet subscribed to. I have now rectified that. 😊
I’m way behind on videos now as David had a major stroke on Sep 3. Things are a little less chaotic now that we’re out of ICU. So, here I am.
Thanks for all that you, and all the others, do to help us learn proper methods to explore our family histories.
Have a blessed weekend!
Oh boy. Hang in there. Hope David is on the mend soon.
Thank you!
Loved this! I never knew of dinner of these great creators. I love your videos and love settling in bed to watch these.
Connie, this was so positive and shows this is a community! I found 2 new creators and 1 new channel to pay attention to!! I learned so much from your content. Kudos.
Thanks
Thank you again in helping us advance in our passion work! I will surely go see all the others!
Thank you for the video I knew most of these channels but you introduced me to a few new ones
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you, Connie, I am going now to subscribe to the ones I have missed. Have a great day.
Excellent. I subscribed to almost all of those channels. Also learner how to integrate tv and tablet. Useful since I can't comment or use links on the tv. Thanks for all that you do.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for introducing us to more genealogist, I’m already subscribed to a few of these channels but learned about A few new channels to learn from 👍
Thanks for highlighting other genealogy TH-camrs! I subscribe to most of these, but have a couple I need to check out.
Thanks for sharing other Genealogy channels- learned about a couple of new ones that I will subscribe to!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for this great video. It is so nice to have a place to soak in everything genealogy .
I will watch the ads from now on if it helps you Connie and all the other genealogists. I want to become a member , but may have to wait until my son gets out of college. Out of state tuition is a bank account drainer :)
Great show, thanks..
Genealogy TV you have the best information!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for making this video! You introduced me to some new people! I subscribed to them, and I'm excited to learn from them.
Thanks Brandi and thanks for supporting the channel.
Thanks Connie, This was a great and informative video. ❤❤
Very interesting! Keep the good work
Thanks, will do!
Most of your guests I follow but I have added a few more thanks to this great video. Would love to see more videos like this, perhaps even geared to different ares of the world.
I love genealogy videos thanks for sharing more channels ❤
Many thx. A few new ones for me to check out!
Thank you for this.😁
Thanks, Connie, very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing this show and all of these genealogist who really want to help us.
Thanks... and thanks for your support of the channel.
Connie, I only follow yourself and Family History Fanatics, as I live in England, and most American channels are unfortunately for Europeans, more targeted towards US audiences. Andy and Devon Lee now know me, and a few other very well from their live shows, where we get our fortnightly fix of banter among fanatics.
This is very timely, as I have been looking for other good genealogy channels to follow. I already follow all but one of these, plus Lisa Louise Cooke, GenaealCymru, and Just Genealogy. Thanks!
I appreciate this effort to tell viewers about more genealogy sources. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video
Thanks, Connie. Some of those were new to me.
Thank you Connie, you are so helpful.
I'm so glad!
Thanks a lot, this was great
Glad you liked it!
I'm part of all the presenters sites. The newest being Jarrett. I always learn something new from you.
Thanks June. As always you're a rock star.
My name is Rosemary I am 60 years old and I found my birth dad at the age of 56. This is one reason I subscribed to your chanell because I want to find all I can find about my ancestry. My father is African-American so I realize at some point I'm going to hit a wall. Thank you for this platform. 7:41
Thanks for the compliments. Yes... we all hit brick walls at some point. Here is a playlist of my videos for African American research. th-cam.com/play/PLiMXWjHlj5RQzojKOI1FmaCQDOXUeUd3C.html
Connie - I always enjoy your presentations. You’re informative and willing to help us by even promoting others!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks, Connie! I subscribed to everyone. Hey, if you or anyone reading this knows of any Australian focussed genealogy channels please post them in the comments 🙏🏻
I'll keep that in mind.
Coach Carole youtube.com/@essentialgenealogist1945
I have seen a couple of Australian ones but they don’t post consistently like Connie.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I’m new to this and haven’t found some of those people.
Thank you for this. I think it will be very helpful for a lot of people.
I hope so!
Connie, thank you for all your hard work.
You are so welcome
Love your channel 😢
Thanks... and thanks for supporting the channel.
This is awesome! I'm going to subscribe to those channels I missed.
Please do!
Thank you, this was very informative. I will have to go view their videos.
You should! Thanks for becoming a channel member!
Bravo, bravo, bravo. Every little bit helps with new ideas, rebooting an older mind (mine), or finessing your work as opposed to using a sledge hammer. 👍👍👍
I've seen a few of these TH-camrs' videos in the past. And I am already subscribed to one of them (in addition to you, Connie). 🙂
Wonderful! TY
Thank you for this information. I already had subscribed to most of the people you shared. But the couple I did not have I do now. Again Thanks
Not only do your videos help me to learn how to better research my Genealogy by they also motivate me. Thank you
Yay! I love that you’re inspired.
"DNA family trees" is another good youtube channel.
Lady, I like you and would love to have someone as kind as you on my family tree. Thank you for providing this content because I’ve had a bomb dropped on me and my heart is heavy.
This is such a great video!! I love watching your channel, I have been watching it for a while now and you give awesome advice!! I would add another TH-cam channel, BlackProGen LIVE. I think someone else mentioned them in your comments. I love them as well and think they should be mentioned. 😃
I discovered your videos recently and I find them very helpful 😊. I live in Britain and although my grandmother was from Delaware so I do some American research I am mainly researching British ancestors. Can you recommend any GB based genealogy TH-camrs? Thank you for all your hard work on producing these videos, I need to find time to watch some of your older ones
Find My Past has a TH-cam channel and records.
@@GenealogyTVthanks for this - I do watch their video sometimes.
Thank you! I suspect that TH-cam has gone through a change?
I have subscribed and belled all of these people, but I haven't seen content from Cheri or Jarrett. in a long time....
I had better go looking, eh?
Interesting
I'm going to love finding family & the history of my family
about watching 30 seconds of an add: the 'skip' button appears after the add is on for some time; 'should' we watch 30 seconds AFTER the skip button appears, or do you get your penny from the beginning of the add?
30 second total is what TH-cam creators get paid on. Hey, likes and subscribes help too. I appreciate you.
:) I am a serial liker of you channel@@GenealogyTV
It’s a shame that smaller YT genealogists aren’t recognized as they have unique and different perspectives that are just as valuable
I could have but the video would have been too long. I appreciate your comment.
What is super thanks? Where is that button? I don't see it watching on my phone...
To the right of this comment box should be a heart with a dollar sign, click that and voila choices for super thanks or membership. Hope that helps!❤
Thanks for sharing that.
Yes... as Morgan Fay said.. it's below the video under the right side. Thanks.
@@GenealogyTV Oh, I had to swipe that row to the right on mobile. I didn't know there were more buttons over there.
There are certain things I’m looking for right now, such as tracing the women in my family who have contributed to my mitochondrial DNA.
Would you look up the history of a living person? They’re suspected of involvement in a recent suspicious death of a woman in England and it’s the 3rd time in a 9 year period that he has been the person to report the death of a woman that he had been living with at the time of their deaths. Each time enriching himself via inherited property. I can supply his name and D.O.B and the years and locations of the deaths. He also has a grown up adult daughter who I believe is involved in these killings which are financially motivated. Her husband is no longer on the scene and it’s possible he has also been killed, so I think we would need to investigate that area as well.
I would suggest you hire a professional genealogist or a coach to help you. Consider Legacy Tree Genealogy (affiliate) www.legacytree.com/genealogytv or Aimee Cross Genealogy ancestryconsultingbyaimee.com/
As a thank you, I'd love to email you an invite to my Ancestry tree, so that you can see how I have adapted your tips into my tree, so that you can use them in future videos for your channel. Does your website have email?
How can you find cousins that are younger than you?
Hopefully they show up in DNA matches.
You don’t do an Only Fans membership? LOL. I have to start watching these. I did widespread YDNA MTDNA and autosomal testing across my lines back in 2011 and need to revisit it all. Prior to 1850 there isn’t much supporting documentation to be had aside from wills, land records marriage records etc so I haven’t tried to go back further in many cases.
I do have channel memberships here on TH-cam as well as a Patreon page. www.patreon.com/GenealogyTV
You *forgot* BlackProGen LIVE!! They _been_ doing this since 2013.
How do you not include them in your video?!? 🙃🙄😤
I hear you, @nailahdawkins! I mentioned Black ProGen Live ( @whoisnickasmith ) in my comment, too. That channel is one I continue to go back to all the time. It is my ground-zero channel. Whenever I'm stuck, I go back home where I have learned the most about how to research my ancestors.
Agreed. Nicka is one of the best! There are so many TH-camrs out there that the video would have become so long. Plus, I was really putting these creators out by asking them to submit a clip. Nicka has been on my channel in the past. th-cam.com/video/S8-4fWFNwP0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
Oh, thanks so much. I appreciate you, Beth.
