Apologies to those of you who follow the #IrishGenealogy or #ScottishGenealogy feed. @blueskyfeedcreator.com has, without warning, diminished the functionality of their free plan so the feeds no longer pick up all relevant posts. They don't seem to have picked up anything in the last few days. 1/6

#IrishGenealogy folks might be interested in these snippets of 20th century Irish history, originally published by Dr. Éamon Phoenix in the Irish News and now being posted online daily. The AI-generated narration, using Éamon's own voice, is remarkable. eamonphoenixfoundation.com/new-irish-hi...
