Kathy’s Corner Preview
Today I was delighted to welcome my dear friend and special guest,
whose special series for Projectkin, Kathy’s Corner is coming up on Thursday (get your local time here). With Save Your Photos Month here, Kathy will focus her talk this week on techniques for rescuing damaged photos. This is a topic dear to her heart as she explains in the preview today, referencing this piece from her Substack :
Join us for Thursday’s program, and bring both your questions and your stories! You’ll probably help the rest of us anticipate disasters and better manage our way through them.
In our talk, I also mentioned two posts shared during the Los Angeles fires this spring. These have both stayed with me. First, from

And next, a very compelling listing of what you can do right now to prepare.

Calendar Changes
With changes coming to the Projectkin calendar starting next Sunday, September 28, you’ll want to pay special attention to a few changes:
Seasonal time changes kick in over six weeks, starting with New Zealand jumping ahead to summer time.
Starting in October, I’m consolidating event start times so that Kathy’s Corner will begin at the Pacific-friendly time of 4/7 pm PT/ET in the Americas and mornings from New Zealand to Western Australia.
Sunday Live programs will start at either Atlantic- or Pacific-friendly times, depending on my guests’ preference.
Here’s the post that described these changes:

If you’ve participated in any Projectkin events, you’ll probably know I have a peculiar penchant for scheduling programs for what I call Atlantic-friendly and Pacific-friendly start times.
Finally, to make it easy to find the Projectkin calendar, it dawned on me to create a shortcut to the monthly view of the Projectkin Events Calendar:
Daily Live Guests: All About That Place (#AATP25)
In today’s program, I also mentioned the 2025 edition of the All About That Place series, which will start on Wednesday, September 24.
All Recordings will be shared under the tag #AATP25 and posted to the YouTube AATP Playlist for the Society of Genealogists.
An Insider Tip:
You may know that the Substack app is a terrific place to sit back and read, watch, or listen to Projectkin (or any of your publications), but did you also know that its use by your readers can vastly increase their exposure to new publications?
Over the last 90 days, over 40% of my subscribers came from the app. That’s pretty astonishing. Check your stats and join us to support this community.
Feel free to share this post with friends and family. While you’re there, invite them to join this thriving and generous genealogy community on Substack.
