I'm a huge fan of @JaneGRatcliffe's Beyond, so I'm thrilled to have this essay land there! Thanks Jane!
If you haven't seen Beyond yet, check out all the brilliant interviews Jane does with some of the best writers & all the great guest essays. You'll want to spend hours there.
Stunningly beautiful essay by @jaxbkjax on searching for her mom and discovering family. "The blankness of her engulfed and bewildered me. I looked for her in every woman I saw and wondered what I’d done to make her leave."

I'll never forget @connie_walker telling me how her in the late 1970s, her father, then a policeman, pulled over a man for driving erratically. It turns out he knew the man. He was a Catholic priest who had abused him at a residential school for indigenous children.
Check out the latest episode of @famtwistpodcast - I spoke w/ the wise @coreyshame about all the diff ways newly found fams react to #npe and #mpe revelations - and how that impacts the person at the center, just discovering their identity.

The first large study looking at the psychological ramifications of DNA testing surprises - specifically NPEs - including "increased levels of depression, anxiety, and panic symptoms." Plus, what protects people. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Discussion of #DNA tests & support needed on @BBCr4today - interesting discussions echoing a lot of the themes in my #RootsTech2023 talks. Do people really know the impact results could have on their lives and families? @libbycopeland’s excellent book gives much food for thought.

I loved talking to @julieroseradio about the complexities of family history research (and, let's face it, families) for @TopofMindpod. Check it out: byuradio.org/f61308b5-1801-4…
Family history research isn't always "feel good." How do we reconcile the imperfections of our ancestors with the stories of our family heroes? Grateful to @ccjones13, @ourmammys & @libbycopeland for digging into the nuance on @TopofMindpod. New ep drops Monday.
