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 #Walsallโs #LeatherMuseum may go the same way. Support your museums and archives while you still have them.
