Projectkin Live: Looking at the Week Ahead!

These live sessions with all of you chiming in create a wonderful way to plan for the week ahead. Today, we focused on two programs ahead this week:

Forget Me Not: How We Memorialise | Ailsa Piper

In the last of Jane Hutcheon’s six-part Forget-Me-Not series, Jane interviews Ailsa Piper. Ailsa is a well-known actor, director, audiobook narrator, and writer in Australia. After her husband died suddenly, Ailsa focused on the art of moving forward. Her latest book, "For Life," is a moving exploration of loss, hope, and starting again.

Emma Explores…Stories, Mysteries and Fame | Emma Cox

As part of our ongoing series about exploring your own stories in genealogy, led by Emma Cox. Emma is a professional genealogist in the UK and a podcaster with Journeys into Genealogy. Each month, Emma joins us to share stories about her own family history — usually following creative themes. This month, her theme is the Suffrage movement. On Thursday, Emma will share her discoveries about her 2x great aunt, Florence de Fonblanque. At 43, Florence organized a Women’s March over 375 miles from Edinburgh to London to deliver a petition to the Prime Minister for women’s rights.

General Chat

One of the fun elements of these weekly chat sessions is how the medium encourages perspective and conversation. You can watch the video to follow along. These are links to the additional mentioned sites:

* A coming project related to the bicentennial of the American Tour of the Marquis de Lafayette: Projectkin.org/lafayette.

* Talks on the topic of AI that were captured during the RootsTech conference and how we might want to look at AI. Explore the 100+ talks relating to AI during the 2025 conference.

* I invited Projectkin members to join me during these Substack Live events (send me a message, and let’s talk about how it works).
