Christmas in Niagara Falls
March 13, 2021
Don't Miss the New Episode of Historical Niagara
I talk about my two Peer family daredevil ancestors - Stephen Peer who walked Niagara Falls on a tightrope in the mid 1880s, and his cousin Harmon Peer, who graduated from jumping from ships' masts to jumping from the Suspension Bridge at the Falls in 1879.
Enjoy this interesting video. Peter does an amazing job of editing all the bits and pieces into a one hour entertaining and informative look back in time.

Periscope: 10 Tips For Increasing Your Blog Followers
That's right. I made my second Scope today on Periscope. It's a 10 minute video with my 10 tips to gain more blog followers.
It's available until 11 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow (Saturday). After that it's gone - poof - deleted.
If you want to be sure to not miss my live scopes, you can follow me on Twitter (@LorineMS) or on Periscope. I tweet as soon as I start a broadcast, and Periscope sends out a notice too.
I hope you find it helpful! Don't forget to send me hearts (by tapping your screen) if you like what I have to say. You can also talk to me during the broadcast by typing in the comment section if you are watching live. Hope to see you there.

My First Live Periscope Video!
I forgot to say a lot of stuff I meant to say. Oops.
I'll do better next time. And the time after that and.... I will improve with practice.
But here it is, my first Periscope Video!! It was LIVE on #Periscope: 3 Tips For Writing a Blog but you can watch it for 24 hours after it aried at https://t.co/8C6JjHO3iL
It went live at 12:20 p.m Eastern Time.
What is Periscope? It's the latest Social Media live streaming app. It's pretty popular and it's fairly new. It's interactive, viewers can chat with you and send you love in the form of hearts.
And it's free so it's win-win. I plan on using Periscope to do weekly 5-10 minute videos (they're called "scopes" on Periscope) that range from Tips to Q&A. If you download the free app for your Android, iPhone or iPad, just follow me (@LorineMS) if you want to know when I'm scoping.
There are so many interesting and fun scopes out there! I've watched subway musicians in New York City, learned about using Periscope, watched a 4 year old boy rocking it to hip hop music, and yes, even watched a guy making a fancy drink in his kitchen.
Hope you join me on Periscope and if you do, be sure to let me know that you read my blog.

Learn to Recognize 5 Types of 19th Century Photographs
 |
| Personal Collection L. McGinnis Schulze |
My
video shows early 19th century photographs and explains how to recognize each one. You can watch it on Olive Tree Genealogy YouTube Channel.
In the video I introduce five types of photographs from 1839 on -
Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Tintypes, CDVs (Cartes de Visite) and
Cabinet Cards. In the video you will learn about the time periods in
which these various photographic techniques were used and see examples
from my personal collection.
You can also visit Lost Faces
for more information on 19th Century photos and examples from Civil War
era Photo Albums. Lost Faces also contains over 1,500 CDVs, Tintypes and Cabinet Cards from my collection.
I plan to make more videos on Dating Photographs
Using Fashion, Hairstyles, Revenue Stamps, Type of Photograph and
Photographer's markings.

Discovery of Old Unknown Cemetery
This is an exciting find of a previously unknown and unrecorded cemetery. I am not sure who found this old burial spot in Ontario Canada but the YouTube channel is owned by NPBOGS which stands for Niagara Peninsula Branch Ontario Genealogical Society.
