National Records of Scotland (NRS) has completed the return of thousands of documents that were stolen from its archives and from other UK institutions by a single individual between 1949 and 1980. www.nrscotland.gov.uk/latest-news/... #history #Genealogy #archives

I had to search over 70 dusty archive boxes to find these cases! Great to be part of #WDYTYA.

Ok #genealogy peeps, what are your favourite research tools? Two of my favourites have to be timelines ⏳and mind maps💡. How about you? #FamilyHistory #LocalHistory #ResearchMethods

A favourite city is Belfast, home of PRONI ❤️. Having experienced London & Ireland during the Troubles, 'Say Nothing' captures that era's tension perfectly. A must-watch on Disney+. Review at: www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11... #Belfast #Genealogy #TheTroubles #DisneyPlus #SayNothing

4 years ago. We didn't often get play dough out (something I do more of now) but, when we did, you played so sweetly. I can hear your chatter & see your excited hands moving about every time the shape worked how you wanted. I miss this look; seeing my reaction.

When you buy an old book at a market and it has a surprise in it and you can’t help but trace the sender of the letter’s family. #genealogy #history

Fellow migrants to Bluesky from Twitter/X who still have accounts there may want to check out the Sky Follower Bridge add on for Firefox or Chrome. This lets you find more people you follow on the Bird site who are on Bluesky. Slow to use but works. It's found many familiar folks I was missing here.

Every place, every person, has a story—here's a great example of the stories of place and person being intertwined. Just one of many great talks from Day 4 of #AllAboutThatPlace, it's well worth worth 10 minutes of your time. #FamilyHistory #LocalHistory
