ISIS is attacking MUHAMMAD'S FAMILY

It truly is a small world and one that is being plagued by a brother on brother crime spree... Yes, we all are related and we all have common ancestors and the wave of murders being seen in the news now is nothing but a disgrace.

Did not Muhammad himself write "[47.2] And (as for) those who believe and do good, and believe in what has been revealed to Muhammad, and it is the very truth from their Lord, He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition."

Yet ISIS tries to claim to be doing Allah's work. I think not. We are all brothers and those who have the love of God in their hearts can have no hatred in them.

Last night, Syrian refugees attacked and killed over a hundred of their brothers and sisters on the streets of Paris, forever staining the reputation of Allah and Islam. We are family and killing your brother is sin. Islam itself should rise up and put an end to these disgraceful murderers for their own sakes and for the family.....

Twitter lists for fun and research.

RESEARCH is a priority in many things, including family history...
One good way to get all your research team together is to create a twitter list. In other words, you take a bunch of tweeps with a similar theme and create a list on Twitter so that all their tweets are displayed on the same page. This helps you find new articles and posts and tips that interest you every day and may help to further your own research in the process.

On my list FAMILY HISTORY CHANNEL you will find lots of family historians who constantly share their news and updates in the form of tweets and the tweets of other family historians they follow as well. This list is not only useful for my own research but is often times just fun to read.

Listing can be useful in many fields like genealogy, arts, crafts, news, sports, poetry, and entertainment. On my art blog is a list of #ART tweets that helps me find new artists and enjoy their work first hand. The same is true with any list, and a list is more focused on a single subject than the home page feed itself.

Once you are added to a list everyone who sees that list becomes a potential reader of your work and shares, and a potential fan and follower. Keep calm and keep tweeting!

Peace

Vlad the Impaler AKA Dracula, the Dark Prince #FamilyHistoryFriday

Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, more commonly known as the Impaler or Dracula, was a three-time voivode of Wallachia, ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462. Historically, Vlad is best known for his resistance against the Ottoman Empire and its expansion and for the cruel punishments he imposed on his enemies. In the English-speaking world, Vlad III is most commonly known for inspiring the association of the name of the vampire in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, "Dracula." Vlad suffered from porphyria (thought to be the source of the legend that vampires are allergic to sunlight).     

Vlad the Impaler Dracula, Prince of Wallachia is your fourth cousin 21 times removed's husband's second great grandson.

The Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory #CousinoftheWeek

Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed (Báthory Erzsébet in Hungarian, Alžbeta Bátoriová in Slovak; 7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614) was a countess from the renowned Báthory family of Hungarian nobility. Although in modern times she has been labelled the most prolific female serial killer in history, her guilt is debated. She is nevertheless remembered as the "Blood Countess" or "Blood Queen."
After her husband's death, she and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls, with one witness attributing to them over 650 victims, though the number for which they were convicted was 80. Elizabeth herself was neither tried nor convicted. In 1610, however, she was imprisoned in the Csejte Castle, now in Slovakia and known as Čachtice, where she remained bricked in a set of rooms until her death four years later.
Later writings about the case have led to legendary accounts of the Countess bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth and subsequently also to comparisons with Vlad III the Impaler of Wallachia, on whom the fictional Count Dracula is partly based, and to modern nicknames of the Blood Countess and Countess Dracula.
