I completely agree. I know I am quiet, but I rarely see any of the people I used to interact with. Everyone seems to be spread across different platforms.

Today my wandering thoughts took me back to the Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye.

Was a dog with a bone today. And by that I mean I was dogged in my research to find out who the widow of my 2nd cousin married in 1950. I had the index but no name for the groom. Tks to salemdeeds.com, I was surprised to find their marriage cert! Cue the floodgates. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

I love court room dramas too! I will have to come back to Glasgow so we can discuss.😊

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with someone so nasty and spiteful. I feel you are the FS poster child of kindness bc you are always offering to do research for others at your local center.

Weird night of newspaper research. Came across an article about the stolen body of Elizabeth Taylor’s former husband Mike Todd, and an article with someone named Delta Dawn Smith. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

The Stones – The Govan Stones

It was beautiful. Highly recommend Glasgow Cathedral and Govan Stones. thegovanstones.org.uk/the-stones/

Hard to believe it has been a month since I visited the church where my gg-grandparents were married in 1844. St Andrew’s RC Church, Glasgow, Scotland. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

This may be a stupid question, but if you buy the church, do you become the caretaker of the cemetery? How does that work? Looks beautiful.

Not only is this a great story, but my husband and I visited that church. Alison told us how to get the subway so we could see the Govan Stones.😊I have to ask, did you have any Corrigan ancestors in Glasgow in the 1840s? John Corrigan was a witness to my gg-gp’s marriage.

Just got back from an incredible trip to Scotland! A big thrill was finally meeting @acspring.bsky.social. Alison helped me with Glasgow research during early Covid days. Visiting the church where my gg-grandparents were married with her was really special. #Genealogy #FamilyResearch🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I found probate records on a man murdered in Kentucky, & had a bank acct in New Orleans. Family in E Galway had to prove he was their brother. A priest’s letter detailed marriage of his parents in 1804, bapt dates of siblings, who they married, where they lived. A wealth of information!

Today was a great research day! β€œNephews were Pallbearers” led me to a sister I didn’t know my gg-gf had. Two names I knew, but the other two names opened up a whole new branch. #Genealogy #FamilyResearch
