Chat on Twitter

Every Tuesday, for one hour, is a chance to tweet with other genealogists throughout the world.

A lady in England runs this each week. In England it is 7:00pm.
For me in Mountain time it is from 12:00 - 1:00pm.

It is a wonderful time to ask questions about your brick walls. Share success stories and support others.

Use hashtag #AncestryHour in each tweet.

To see what we have chatted about search #AncestryHour to view.
Come join the chat. See you there.
