I call AI FI - fake intelligence. It has more hype than quality.

The scanning is fine. The indexing is iffy the further back you go as AI struggles with older script. Coverage is great - there's only 1 parish I couldn't find (Swavesey). Always good to look at the original image!

Hi Emily, I have Cambridgeshire ancestors, too. I haven't gotten around to checking these out yet. Is the quality of the scanning good? I bought many parish records from the family history society years ago. Hopefully, I will find soe new connections #Genhour

Can you research this Thomas to see if he is the same as John?

I have some ancestors known by two names o official documents. Also, some apparent accidental incorrect names for fathers, especially where they are deceased, when the bride or groom get married. #GenHour

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

I thought about doing a UK based but decided to start with Australia as I will be marketing myself here. Aus based courses always cover UK research anyway.

I can always do a UK based course later. #GenHour

I am only an occasional visitor to #GenHour due the time here in Sydney (5:30am).

I have decided to do a certificate course with the Society of Australian Genealogists with the aim of becoming a professional researcher.

Wish me luck for the next 11 months.

Have you tried newspapers in the area your relative returned to? Also, look for books on the matter. They might not name him but may explain what Camp 4 is. #Genhour.

When I was watching Pope Francis's funeral procession, I thought that this looks familiar. I checked the location and realised that in 2023, my wife and I stayed 4 minutes walk away. We also had a memorable evening in a rooftop bar across the piazza from Maria Maggiore Basilica.

Bond travels to the Kimberley region of West Australia, chasing Chinese spies operating in the area. It includes a chase through the Horizontal Falls in Talbot Bay. He also fails to order a Martini at the local pub and can only drink beer or a Bundy and coke.

The last library I did research at was Ryde Library, in the suburbs of Sydney. I was researching local cemetery records for details of my ancestors. These records are not digitised, nor are they available online in any other way.
