This is making the rounds again but is always worth repeating.

Don't forget! Tomorrow, Sunday, September 21, is the #BCGS Library Open Research Sunday, from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory www.bcgs.ca/bcgs-events/...

More toponym changes in Ukraine were released in June 2025. This is a part of Ukraine’s ongoing de-communization, de-russification & standardization of state language of place names in the country. Because this project is a living document, changes are made to match name changes made by Ukraine.

Dutch burial registers from the 18th century do not often mention causes of death. But when Cornelis Spaninx from Tilburg died in June 1741, it was recorded that he died "after the removal of a tumor by a quack." #genealogy #earlymodern

Happy Saturday! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

I actually had a bit of free time on a Saturday, and *didn't* spend it (all) doing genealogy! I got this great @sandraboynton.bsky.social puzzle for my birthday. 😁

Breaking #genchat news: here is a link about backing up sites on the #InternetArchive ! help.archive.org/help/save-pa...

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

It's a lovely sunny Saturday on the west coast, so I'm enjoying the sunlight, a cup of coffee, and this week's crème de la crème! #genealogy

Join us at the #BCGS Library for our first Open Research Day of the fall season! #genealogy #FamilyHistory www.bcgs.ca/bcgs-events/...

Q5 #genchat Have you thought about uploading any of your own video or audio to the Internet Archive?

The asshole genealogist: "My 5th great-grandfather died roughly seven mothers ago."

Genealogy facepalm moment. "Why does every record say DOB was 1844 but the headstone say 1840?" leads to finding birth registration that shows only the father, no baby or mother. ⁉️

Just saying... #Archivist #Genealogy

I rarely share family photos on here. But this picture from ten years ago today is one of my favourites: Mr H and the boy in the engine shed at the #BluebellRailway

Back to school time! For the next four weeks we are going to be asking you to share your favourite #FamilyHistory resources. Starting with, websites! What are the best online tools for #Genealogy?

Soup is awesome, so I respect the editorial decision by the Delaware Democratic Herald to rank an article about soup up there with the news from the Probate Court about the estate of my Gx5 Grandfather, James Liggett. #genealogy #FamilyHistory #Soup

Glad I got my tasks done before I opened this week's crème de la crème! They wouldn't have gotten done until tomorrow... 😅 #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

With the arrival of September, all the students are back to the books. Same with the #BCGS! After the summer closure, our library is back open for service. #genealogy #FamilyHistory www.bcgs.ca/library

Went to the annual Dutch Street Market in downtown Vancouver today. It's one of the rare times I get to practice speaking Dutch. The best complement I received was the correctness of my grammar!!

One of the best parts of Saturday, the weekly crème de la crème from @genealogyalacarte.bsky.social! #genealogy #FamilyHistory genealogyalacarte.ca?p=46036

My Gx2 Grandmother, Ella Elizabeth Thomas was a midwife for 40 years. She was "not a storekeeper and [did] not give discounts!" #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory deckofancestors.wordpress.com/2025/08/30/5...

Most of what I've learned about this to date has been thanks to @danielloftus.projectinfant.ie www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tv-series/lo...

The only structured and organized family reunion I've been to so far was for my Gx2 Grandfather, John Alexander Nelson. #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory deckofancestors.wordpress.com/2025/08/26/5...

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

THANK YOU #POTUS for acknowledging Ukraine's Independence Day is what I would've written yesterday if he hadn't completely ignored it. #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Both sets of my grandparents. I rarely saw them together, and even less so at either of their homes like in this photo. While it was hardly catastrophic, it certainly felt like worlds were colliding, as George Costanza put it. (The odd angle is because the photo was taken on the diagonal) #Genealogy

A dearth of records and a sadly short life means that I don't know a lot about my Gx2 Grandmother, Sarah Florilla Cook. #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory deckofancestors.wordpress.com/2025/08/24/5...

Only six weeks behind in the #52Ancestors Challenge, but who's counting? Finally made it to Week 28 and my Gx3 Grandfather, Horace Burgess. #genealogy #FamilyHistory deckofancestors.wordpress.com/2025/08/24/5...
