Exciting post this morning! Lots in here to keep me busy for quite a while! #familyhistory

After frying many braincells, I found the bit of evidence to prove that the Cund brothers I have been researching are the same as the Cond brothers - the will states 'James Cond, formerly Cund', gives all the matching addresses to other documents, and brother's name. Happy dance! #familyhistory

My story today - The killer of little mule spinners - is the story of how the work of young cotton mill hands called piercers was giving them a rare form of cancer. #Genealogy #familyhistory #ancestry #genhour #history #lancashire

I can't understand why many family historians don't research siblings and other family members. Today, researching my 'plane crash' family, I idly clicked on the mother's brother's 1939 reg entry. Spotted a familiar name, which showed me the two sides of the family knew each other long before

A very enjoyable short break at one of our favourite places. #Aldeburgh #Suffolk

Feeling a bit pleased with myself - just found that bit of evidence that shows that I am right, and everyone else's trees for this particular family on Ancestry (and therefore their unhelpful hint) is wrong! I may even have done a little 'air-punch'! #familyhistory #detective !!

Hi genies! Quick question - on a passenger list, if a person's name has a line through, does that just mean they didn't travel? #familyhistory

A big shout out to all the wonderful archivists out there! After sending a hopeful email, I received an incredible reply with links and loads of info re a person in my 1947 plane crash story. Thanks to Jules, archivist @felstedschool.bsky.social. #familyhistory #research #archivists It means a lot 🙂

Happy Yorkshire Day!

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Armchair Genealogy - Family Tree & History: Dave Annal chats with the Genealogy Guy about researching your family tree. Have a listen:

Does anyone know of a reason why I would get 'no results found' on GRO when looking for a death cert? A while ago I did find the entry, along with vol and page but did not proceed with order, just noted details. Now, even when I put in all the info it says not found. #GRO #FamilyHistory

#AncestryHour my girls both just gone back to uni after a couple of weeks at home so feeling a bit strange. They did, however, prompt me into writing up some ancestors stories, so I have things to keep me occupied!

So you’ve found your #Ancestor in all the #Census years but what did they do in the years in between? What Did Our Ancestors Do Between The Census Years? chiddicksfamilytree.com/2022/06/05/w... #Genealogy #BloggersTribe #FamilyHistory #Census #FamilyTree #AncestryHour

Found a brilliant newspaper account of a wedding in 1899 including descriptions of bridesmaids' attire - 'peagreen dresses trimmed with Maltese lace' - and a long list of guests and gifts - table linen, cushions, a pickle fork, two views of Ilfracombe and an umbrella, amongst others! #familyhistory

A brand new #Blog exploring how easy it is to accept an online hint at face value and the pitfalls of what happens if you do. Does your tree have solid roots? Have you built a tree that stands the test of time? #Genealogy #FamilyTree chiddicksfamilytree.com/2025/01/17/h...

#GenHour. Not much family history research this week, but a lot of reading, especially this excellent book. #familyhistory #WW1 Found husband of an ancestor who was awarded MM and Belgian Croix de Guerre listed.

Just finished reading this after finding husband of an ancestor served with the 13th Battalion, E. Yorkshire regiment. Turns out he was awarded MM and Belgian Croix de Guerre. More research to do... Excellent book #WW1 #AncestryHour

I wonder if anyone can give me their thoughts on this photo. The date on the back is July 1921. In 1915, Flo married Charles, who was in the East Yorkshire regiment.(Not this man). He was not KIA, and I can't find a later death. So, who is John, and why the 'cosy' pose?! #GenHour #FamilyHistory

Spent a lot of time trying to track down 'Flo', the friend of an ancestor of my husband's. Done lots of detective work piecing the story together - found censuses and marriage to 'Charles'. Only problem is, in the middle of the timeline is a photo from 'Flo and John' Who the heck is John?!! #GenHour

#OnThisDay in 1947. #FamilyHistory

#GenHour I've achieved nothing today, thanks to raging toothache! Managed to get appointment for 10am tomorrow - if I can last that long without resorting to pliers! However, glad to be around in 2020s and not 1820s. How on earth did our ancestors cope?!

Whilst searching the 1921 census for Marfleet, Hull, I came across this! Albert Ernest Train was the stationmaster at Marfleet station, employed by North Eastern Railways. A most appropriate surname! Made me smile, anyway!

Take a moment to admire my new 2025 planner in which I am going to keep track of my #familyhistory research, including what I am working on and what I have discovered; when I have ordered certificates; dates of local group meetings and online courses etc. Here's to being better organised!

Chuffed with my haul of books this Christmas. Lots to keep me going here! @janetfew.bsky.social @paultheweatherman.bsky.social #familyhistory

A Merry Christmas to all the #FamilyHistorians out there! Hope the festive season brings peace, joy and family history research time!

www.channel5.com/show/the-big... Caught up with this yesterday. It mentioned, briefly, the plane crash in which my g-aunt was killed - amongst the first casualties of this extreme weather event. #familyhistory

Is anyone still writing Christmas cards? Here are just a few of the old cards I found in this Christmas pudding box. Not sure of dates, although one of them says 1913. There are nearly fifty altogether. #familyhistory #vintagechristmascards

This tiny pair of trousers, made by my 2xg-grandfather, a tailor and draper in Preston, 1850s. Believed to be an apprentice piece, or window 'advert'. I just love them! #FamilyHistory #heirloom

Well, this is a job for a cold, wet Tuesday morning - trying to sort out this lot! #familyhistory #photos. Feeling a bit daunted!

Time to remember, never forgotten

Chuffed to see my death certificate query in the Dear Paul column of this month's Family Tree magazine. Thank you @chiddickstree.bsky.social #familyhistory

Ok friendly genies, I'm confused! Can someone tell me difference between Fold3 and Forces War Records? If FWR is UK version,do I sign up to that instead of F3? I have premium Ancestry but need a subscription to see some military records, so which one? Sorry if this is a dumb question! #familyhistory

Having a bit of a tidy and found these. When I first started researching my #familyhistory, pre internet, these were some of the books that got me started! Memories of searching those huge b,m,d indexes in the Family Records Centre.

Hi,I'm new to #Bluesky. Decided to jump aboard - the other place is rapidly losing its appeal. Hoping to meet up with #FamilyHistory and #Genealogy friends
