Genohistory on Purpose
Welcome to the blog where genealogy meets history—on purpose.
We’ve all heard that genealogists should look at historical context and that historians sometimes pull from genealogy. But what happens when we stop treating those as separate disciplines and instead focus on the fascinating intersection of the two? This blog explores that sweet spot—what I call genohistory—where we bring real people and their everyday lives into sharper focus by combining the tools of both genealogists and historians.
Zotero for Genohistory, Genealogy, & History
Zotero is the research companion I didn’t know I couldn’t live without.
It got me through graduate school and has since become essential to everything I do—genealogy, genohistory, history, even daily life. This blog gathers all my posts about Zotero, offering tips, discoveries, and creative ways to harness its power. And if you want to go deeper, I’ve written three books that take you from beginner to power user.
The Golden Egg Genealogist
Before genohistory, there was the Golden Egg Genealogist.
My first blog, The Golden Egg Genealogist, grew from a desire to pursue—and teach—excellence in genealogy, where golden eggs do grow on trees. Though my focus has shifted more toward genohistory, the insights and resources shared there continue to resonate with genealogists, and the content remains available here.
