The Loose Ends of Family History No two days are ever the same for a professional genealogist, as demonstrated by a research commission I undertook this summer for Leeds-based artist Ellie Harrison, and Polite Rebellion – th…

Some research work commissioned from Jane Roberts, AGRA Associate, is being used by an artist exhibiting in the Leeds Compass Festival. 'Loose Ends' is running at the Leeds Trinity Centre 22-24 and 28-30 November. pasttopresentgenealogy.co.uk/2024/11/22/t...

I recognise three, but I can only name two of them...John Cleese and Gerard Butler. John is an English comedian, writer and actor. Gerard is a Scottish actor (of Irish descent). I don't know what all four men have in common, though.

Detail from old (17th century) map of Kent

While having breakfast this morning I was looking at that lovely old map of Kent that I posted a link to yesterday and I noticed this at the bottom:

'The ruyns of Bromehill church
VINDELIS INSULA
Olde Winchelsey whose Ruyns lurk

Happy Birthday! (for tomorrow). I hope you have a lovely celebration tonight.

If you are working in pro #genealogy and use MS Word, particularly if, like me, you work on highly sensitive client projects, then I’d advise turning the new Microsoft AI scraping settings OFF *right NOW* 👇

Thanks for the heads-up @titachico.bsky.social

Thanks - that worked!

I just wanted to say hello and welcome! - to my new followers. It's great to see so many genealogists and historians on here. I will try to join #GenHour, which starts in an hour (8 pm UK time).

I see people come to this post a lot! So, there has since been a part two and if the #Genealogy community on here continues to grow (and I very much hope it does), we'll have a part 3... 😅

Thanks Mish. I have seen errors on copies a few times. #GenHour

I agree with this. Not only missing information but sometimes errors are made on the copies. Always seek out the original document where you can. #GenHour
