My 3x great grandmother was Dorcas Vant. Written for a family history group meeting. #GenealogyStories #FamilyHistory sussexheritage.blogspot.com/2025/10/dorc...

It's been a while since I have written on my blogs but today I have been playing around with a suggested AI prompt that I used in Co-Pilot and was happy with the end result after a few revisions and addional information. #FamilyHistory #GenealogyStories sussexheritage.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-le...

Evening #AncestryHour . Am afraid I can't be with you tonight as am at a zoom meeting/talk about #OnePlaceStudies

Happy Yorkshire Day! Our members have registered 37 #OnePlaceStudies in Yorkshire, including towns, villages, parishes, streets, cemeteries, a school, and an orphans’ home. They can be found via the following links: ✦ East Yorkshire ✦ North Yorkshire ✦ South Yorkshire ✦ West Yorkshire

NEW BUSINESS!!! Hampshire, UK based Genealogist. Please see my website thelineagefinder.co.uk for more info. If you could help me spread the word, I'd be most grateful and if you're looking for some research to be done drop me a message 😀 #Genhour #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Evening #GenHour was at a Zoom meeting this morning for the Family Historian Zoom Group. We had a talk by @coachcarole.bsky.social on the practical uses of AI in Genealogy. A superb talk. It covered how AI can assist your research rather than find you info about your ancestors #Genealogy

#OnThisDay 26 July, in 1947 my grandfather, Frank Grieve Jackson died. He was born in 1873 in Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire and died in Molash, Kent. #FamilyHistory

To all my friends....you will no longer be able to direct message me as @bsky.app insists I need to do age verification. No way am I giving it's 3rd party a facial scan or my credit card details. If it reduces too many other features then I may well leave and not come back.

I forgot to add this to my #OnThisDay post yesterday and it is something I find very touching & yet so coincidental. After Dad's funeral in church we went to the crematorium in Eastbourne. The funeral cortege, unexpectedly& unplanned, took the coastal road across the marshes to Eastbourne ....2/

Time to sign off now #GenHour ...see you again next Thursday.

I've created a basic template timeline in Excel. I've added facts and events that happened in the UK during the period 1800 - 2000. I 'm using this for my ancestors; customising it to their cradle to grave time period and added in extra according to their occupations & local events too. #GenHour

New record collections on Ancestry can be found here. www.ancestry.co.uk/search/colle... Always good to check in case any are needed by you. Nothing for me this time #GenHour

#OnThisDay in 2006 was the funeral service for my father in Bexhill, East Sussex. He was 87 years old. My nephew called him a gentleman and he was. A kind, caring gentle man who rarely raised his voice. It is appropriate that I am looking for more newspaper reports of him #FamilyHistory #GenHour

Evening #GenHour Haven't been doing much family history ofver the last few weeks because of the hot weather but hope to get back on track now. Currently searching the FMP newspapers for articles about my ancestors.

This month's topic for my U3A FH group meeting has to begin with the letter T. I pondered tombstones,Travel, Tragedy, Trains, Turnpikes, Tithes, Troublemakers, Traditions and Timelines. I settled for Timelines as it is so helpful for finding gaps in my research. #Genealogy #GenealogyStories ../2

#OnThisDay in 2006 my father died in Bexhill, East Sussex just 3 days before his 60th wedding anniversary. Memories of the day are still with me and I think will be for the rest of my life. #FamilyHistory

Our family history group meeting was a topic beginning with the letter S. I had fun writing and researching about a silver spoon my grandad won for Small Bore Miniature Rifle Clubs back in the early 1900s. #FamilyHistory #GenealogyStories sussexheritage.blogspot.com/2025/06/fran...

Good evening #GenHour Good to be back with you after a few missing weeks due to health or lack of mojo. Mojo has definitely clicked back in and am busy entering census details for my ancestors.

#OnePlaceStudy The webinar "One Place Study as a Research Tool" is free on Legacy Family Tree Webinars for 6 days. familytreewebinars.com/webinar/the-...

#GenHour is tomorrow at 8pm UK time on BlueSky!

Advance notice of our next #OnePlaceWednesday Live, an opportunity for Society members to get together virtually and chat / ask questions about all things #OnePlaceStudy! This will take place on July 9th, with three Zoom sessions to accommodate a variety of time zones / working patterns.

#OnThisDay my 4x great grandfather, TRhomas Eldridge was baptised in Sedlescome, Sussex on 14 Jun 1778. He married Abigail Crouch on 27 May 1809 in Ewhurst, Sussex. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

Today in 1909 my 2x great grandfather, George Gadd, from Sussex, died #FamilyHistory #Genealogy He was born 1833 in Shover's Green and died in Salehurst.

Dancing for joy because we are finally on Bluesky! 👋

Evening #GenHour I haven't been doing much genealogy other than research about the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs, their silver spoons and the Donegal Badge. Folk on here were great help. I think I have my "S" topic for my family history group well on the way:- Society, Silver, Spoon, Shooting.

Hi #AncestryHour I am busy researching about the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs as my grandfather won a silver spoon which I now have.

@howwegothere.bsky.social You might find this post useful for making connections on here. #AncestryHour is 7pm UK time on Tuesdays and #Genhour is 8pm UK time on Thursdays

My grandfather was an excellent miniature rifles club shooter in Sussex for the Robertsbridge club. One newspaper report in the 1910's shows he was in a competition for the Donegal Badge. I have not found anything more about the badge. Can anyone help? #Genealogy

I need to get more of the information from my #AtoZChallenge blogs uploaded to my #OnePlaceStudy website but been busy tidying up the house so room for my daughter's family to stay over the weekend. Little evidence of my craft room or husband's railway workshop now; back to being bedrooms #GenHour

The June meeting for my U3A family history group meetings involves a topic beginning with the letter S. Need to start thinking of what I will choose so I can do some research. #GenHour

#FamilyHistory #Genearosity #PayItForward You know the drill by now. I'm at my #FamilySearch #FSC this afternoon. Happy to do look-ups for anyone who needs a copy or three from the restricted records. #SpreadTheWord @danielloftus.projectinfant.ie @alliethinks.bsky.social @allthosebefore.bsky.social

#OnePlaceStudy .... there is an upcoming webinar on Legacy FamilyTree Webinars for one place studiers familytreewebinars.com/webinar/the-...

@sogorg.bsky.social I believe you are an affiliate library for FamilySearch. Is this in person access at your premises or is it available for online research from home?

I've enjoyed reading the topics and responses today. Thanks #GenHour Another lively evening. 😊

#GenHour This is also another good site to explore. Hope it is helpful to someone ogindex.org/search

#GenHour This was a new source for me today; hoping it is of interest to others researchworks.oclc.org/archivegrid/....

#GenHour Does anyone use Wikitree? I joined as a guest today and thinking whether to consider more. Found an ancestor and tracked back down and then found they didn't have the marriage or children of my 2x great grandmother. Feeling a bit daunted about whether to progress. #Vant from Kent

#GenHour Do you use Family Historian as desktop software? I can't recommend the Family Historian Zoom Group highly enough. They have frequent zoom meetings and sub groups for DNA and for using ORA. Videos of previous meetings are available to view. Worth the small fee to join fhzg.co.uk/index.html

#GenHour We are trending ❤️

Hi #GenHour Busy juggling lots of pressing jobs and then it rained and I needed to get gardening done whilst I could still pull the weeds out. Soil has been like concrete. I've been watching some ORA videos. Copy and paste feature saves time and worth sub cost. www.ora-extension.com/en/contents....

Don't forget it is #GenHour tonight at 8pm UK time

A WASH-WAY was a narrow path cut in the woods to make the CANTS [portions] of a WOODFALL [part to be cut]. A fall of 10 acres would probably have been washed into 6 or 7 cants. "You've no call to follow the main-track; keep down this here wash-way for about ten rods and you'll come right agin him."

More baptisms for 1819 added to my #OnePlaceStudy on a #OnePlaceWednesday cuckfieldcompendium.co.uk/baptisms-180...

Next Scottish Indexes conference will be on 13 September 2025 scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2025/05/next... #genealogy #FamilyHistory #Scotland

@wshighways.bsky.social Do you have a team working under the railway bridge at Haywards Heath this morning. Not helpful their highway maintenance vehicles are using bus bay outside Sainsbury; will mean people with mobility problems have issues getting on the bus as it can't park next to the kerb.

I had a request for a new entry on the Brickwalls page of my website. #OnePlaceStudy I have updated the website with the request and also put it as a blog post today. Do you have knowledge of Cuckfield in 1921? Were you there? Can you help? cuckfieldcompendium.blogspot.com/2025/05/bric...

And it's a wrap ....my Reflections blog posting for the #AtoZChallenge2025 is published. #OnePlaceATOZ Thanks to those who have followed along. cuckfieldcompendium.blogspot.com/2025/05/a-z-...

#GenHour I now need to take my #AtoZChallenge2025 blog posts and add the info to my actually #OnePlaceStudy website for Cuckfield. cuckfieldcompendium.co.uk
