02:33:05 Brenda Everett: I remember my best friend (Jewish) in high school telling me that when they moved to Dallas and wanted to buy a house in Highland Park, they were STRONGLY discouraged from doing so, so they made their home in North Oak Cliff.
02:33:30 Sharon B: if you are from Dallas, there are sadly no surprises about the prejudices and restrictions.
02:33:38 Brenda Everett: True
02:34:09 John Reid: Thanks.
02:34:49 Brenda Everett: But if they'd moved their instead of Oak Cliff, I would have never met my wonderful friend, and our children would never have gotten to play together.

03:38:08 leslie ryan: very nice presentation, great slides! thank you
03:38:41 denisebumford: Do you have a best practice for getting responses from DNA matches you reach out to?
03:40:57 Janine: Tip: To save some money on autosomal DNA testing, test only with 23andMe and Ancestry tests - then upload the (raw) results to MyHeritage, FTdna, and GEDmatch. (Neither Ancestry nor 23andMe allow uploading from other sites, but these other sites do.)

03:49:18 Vernita: The Beyond Kin Project
https://beyondkin.org/
Genealogists who descend from slaveholders (SHs) are uniquely positioned to revolutionize genealogy for their African American colleagues.
03:49:18 B Cannon: for slaveholder ancestors there is https://beyondkin.org/making-the-slave-connection/. I don't have much experience with it but it might be a possibility.
