The joys of family history! From a simple birth certificate with no father named, today at the @fhsofcheshire.bsky.social I was able to extend the tree of one of our members back several generations. The joys of volunteering - plus there was plenty of biscuits! #Genealogy

#familyhistory goes hand in hand with #localhistory. When a small industrial museum goes, we lose part of our history. #Kidderminster loses its #CarpetMuseum on 20 Dec and #Walsall’s #LeatherMuseum may go the same way. Support your museums and archives while you still have them.

The overseers of the poor were required by law under the Bastardy Act of 1575 to find out the father’s identity and so shift the burden of maintenance from the parish to the father. #DidYouknow #FamilyHistory www.exploreyourgenealogy.co.uk/illegitimate...
