I enjoyed learning about the private rental market in the Georgian era today. "Uncovering the Lives of Lodgers, Landlords and Landladies in Georgian London with Gillian Williamson" members.sog.org.uk/events/65ccf...

I'm looking forward to this and learning how I can make what I do more accessible.

An interesting evening at the Society of Genealogists Book Club with the author Jean Renwick. I really enjoyed book 1 & 2. Great to hear about the research process & how she created the story with the necessary blending of fact & fiction. A fascinating story. amzn.eu/d/iII3qDQ #bookreview
