These are holidays they went by themselves so I don’t know where exactly they were.

Thank you!

Some very helpful information here

#IrishGenealogy #FamilyHistory

Not a topping I would order!

Thank you!

Don’t often get to join #GenHour but at home this evening with COVID so thanks for the chat.

Good point!

Probably not a word I’ve ever written but I seem to remember them labelled as syboes at the greengrocer. Bluesky doesn’t like that spelling!

Not a word you hear much now.

Storage is a big issue. Plus as time passes fewer people will recognise who these people are so I definitely need to get them organised and labelled. Hoping that makes it more likely for future generations to want to keep them. #GenHour

I have done the scanning and should have organised them then. I inherited a real mess of a box and it was all too much. I will also have to organised the scanned photos.

I always feel bad getting rid of photos but I have all the old family photos which include things like waiters in the hotels where my parents stayed.

I bought a photo storage box with individual cases to help sort through all the old pics but I keep putting it off because it seems such a huge task #GenHour

I think I’d keep these ones in case the significance becomes apparent later in your research.

A perfect holiday read 💙📚

What’s everyone reading right now? I’m enjoying this one which is a recent arrival at the library.

Moved on to Just Seventeen when I got too old for Misty! I remember having a Just Seventeen t-shirt which was in the style of the Choose Life/Relax ones. Maybe had to collect tokens for it? I’m not sure. Happy memories.

I’d like to know this too. I have one big tree but would like to copy it and also have separate trees for maternal and paternal lines.

Should’ve updated sooner but I loved this book. Historical crime fiction featuring issues that sadly still exist. #booksky #librarysky 📚💙

I was the same. I think about this book often. #booksky

Hello #AncestryHour! Today I finalised my website: rowenagenealogy.com Short and sweet!

I don’t read much historical fiction but The Way Of All Flesh was recommended to me so gave it a try. Such careful research and a great story. I’ve since recommended the series to others.

New it at the library! I love to get a brand new book.
Have loved the Raven and Fisher series so far so looking forward to getting started. #BookSky 📚💙

Some great finds in those boxes!

I would assume this was worn as some kind of protest or warning.

Still have to find out more about this particular family but can see now why they were here. The iron works actively recruited workers from Lithuania.

I most definitely have to find out more.

And that’s how we identify these gaps in our knowledge
