Schön, dass diese Tradition weitergeht! War letztes Jahr schon so gemütlich. Bin dabei! 🔥

Exactly! And that is totally doable - at least for the most commonly used genealogical documents.🙂

😯 Oh, wow! I‘m glad I asked because that angle had not occurred to me.

Bryna - I‘ve been thinking about this - what do you think is driving the resistance? Is it just translators wanting to protect their business, or is there more to it?

Thanks for clarifying about the conference. It's unfortunate there's no virtual option, but I see the value in face-to-face networking. I agree that a genealogy-specific translation event would be valuable. Even a small virtual meetup could connect specialists and address our unique challenges.

Thanks, Bryna. I couldn’t find any mention of a virtual option on the conference website. Schade!

Looks like a fantastic learning opportunity! Do you know if they plan to offer a virtual attendance option?

Love this - our ancestors' stories aren't just memories, they're fuel for our own journey forward.

What a touching story about what sparked your genealogy journey, Paul. Congratulations on taking the leap into vlogging - you did a fantastic job sharing your personal story!

Heroic.

Ich bin dabei!

Can you read cursive? It's a superpower the National Archives is looking for. The National Archives is looking for volunteers with an increasingly rare skill: Reading cursive.

Finally, being old enough to remember cursive has become my superpower! National Archives needs us to “decode” historical documents.📜

You're so welcome, Paul! Your post really made me reflect on how I value my own everyday moments. Thanks for sharing your insights!

A beautiful piece that really hits home about how our most precious treasures aren't things we can hold, but the moments and feelings we gather through life. Love how Paul reminds us that the real magic happens in those simple, everyday moments rather than just trying to get the perfect photo.

You're absolutely right - It makes me appreciate every piece of fish that makes it to our tables differently.

Famous last words... right before your printer/TV/toaster starts demanding that ONE specific cable you threw away. It's like they can sense when you've gotten rid of their spare parts!

I had no idea that so many trawler-men have been lost at sea…let alone that so many have been lost from Hull alone.😢

I feel personally called out by #5.🫣 My very patient spouse now expects the 'slight detours' to 'really interesting' graveyards on vacation. And yes, I've totally used 'But honey, this is the ONLY day the archives are open!' to restructure our entire trip.😅

Love this "Research Along With Me" concept, Ursula! It would be great if you could cross-post over here to BlueSky for those of us who have moved to the FB sidelines.
