It looks like there's a bit of activity at the Western Australian Military Digital Library (which is a wiki, set up I think by the #genealogy group at the Fremantle army museum).

IGHR does their courses online, so not limited (in any sense) to Georgia.
Or any other USA state.
They do courses about doing research for and in other countries of ancestral origin too.
"Was hat Opa in der Nazizeit gemacht?" - eine Einführung in das biografische Forschen in der Zeit des #Nationalsozialismus.
🗓️ Am Donnerstag, 5. Februar, von 19 bis 20.30 Uhr.
💻 Eine Online-Veranstaltung des Staatsarchivs #Ludwigsburg. Den Zugangslink erhalten die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer nach der Anmeldung.
💡 In der #Familie weiß es möglicherweise niemand so ganz genau: War Onkel Fritz ein glühender Nationalsozialist oder doch nur ein Mitläufer? War er als selbständiger Handwerker von 1933 an Mitglied der NSDAP oder hat er sich dem Regime nur zögernd angedient? Und wie stand es um Oma Lisa: War sie wirklich aktive Unterstützerin des Nationalsozialismus, vielleicht sogar in einer Funktion bei der Nationalsozialistischen Frauenschaft, oder stand sie als ehemaliges Mitglied des SPD-nahen Allgemeinen Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbund wie ihr Bruder Emil vielleicht gar in Opposition, wie mancher zu wissen meint?
👉 In einem eineinhalbstündigen Online-Seminar führt Hartmut Obst in das biografische Forschen in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus ein und zeigt Möglichkeiten und Wege eigener personen- und familiengeschichtlicher Recherchen auf.
👛 Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos
🤝 In Kooperation mit der Volkshochschule Ludwigsburg.
👉 Mehr Infos und den Link zur Anmeldung finden Sie auf unserer Website: https://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/de/aktuelles/termine/78507

I'm not convinced that Ancestry really understand the concept of ownership. They say that it's *my* history — so why are they involved in any way in me accessing it?!
@samwilson The word “giving” is ironic. It’s true that their paid service makes it really easy to locate family records. #genealogy

I'm looking forward to Australia's (hopefully) upcoming orphan works scheme, so that I can legally (I think) upload letters like this one written by E.J. Ryan in 1898. They'll (likely) still not be acceptable by #WikimediaCommons (which wants 190 years of grace after the date of creation), but at least they can go elsewhere without worry. Maybe. I'm not a lawyer.
Although if Mr Ryan's estate wants to come after me for uploading it, that'd be quite good really, because I'd like them to have the letter. #genealogy

ouch🫣 the reason this historical klezmer(?) musician Harry Zimbal (1885–1941) was denied US citizenship. I tried googling if this was a known phrase but, although it came up in some places I couldn't find an explanation.
#genealogy folks, anyone know?

Interests include: #scifi (including #StarTrek & #DoctorWho), #Linux, #history, #genealogy, #politics, #travel (when I can afford to), let's just say way too many special interests.
