Genealogy Roundup, October 30 – Megan Smolenyak
Threads of History – From one of my alumni magazines – an interesting artifact from Inheritance Baltimore, a JHU initiative to examine its relationship and history with the local Black community.
Digging into her family’s roots, a writer finds a disturbing secret – I think many genealogists would find this of interest.
BBC Sound Effects Archive – So this isn’t genealogical, but it’s still very cool – and perhaps you could find some sounds to borrow for videos or podcasts you make about your ancestors or other roots-related topics.

Lebanon: Israeli Attacks on Medics Apparent War Crimes | Human Rights Watch
(Beirut) – The Israeli military has repeatedly attacked medical workers and healthcare facilities in Lebanon, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch documented three attacks, involving apparent war crimes, in which Israeli forces unlawfully struck medical personnel, transports, and facilities, including paramedics at a civil defense center in central Beirut on October 3, 2024, and an ambulance and a hospital in southern Lebanon on October 4, killing 14 paramedics.
As of October 25, Israeli attacks have killed at least 163 health and rescue workers across Lebanon over the past year and damaged 158 ambulances and 55 hospitals, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health. The Israeli military should immediately halt unlawful attacks on medical workers and healthcare facilities, and Israel’s allies should suspend the transfer of arms to Israel given the real risk that they will be used to commit grave abuses.
