Q: Is there any case where the gender [of a noun] is altered in one [case] and not the other?
Nouns dont change form to show if they are subject nominative or object objective/accusative. Gender may change a noun actor /actress but the gendered form is identical regardless of grammatical case.

wait up! How did Robina's brother know they were there? Did I miss something?

I have just alerted the NZ genealogy Society of your wonderful find, thank you so much!

totally me. in fact, now have a clockwork timer so that whatever I am cooking is not burnt to a crisp!

I hate these 'new'features too. very irritating.

Proverbs 15:10

I am so pleased for you! thats the generosity of genealogists in action! well done and this augers well for 2026!

BTW - she resevered her defense and got off. The girl remained pregnant. I'm writing an article on it for a magazine.

Just transcribing - notes taken by a policeman for court in 1897 my 2 x g grandmothers' hearing on a charge of procuring an abortion. notes trail off and not punctuated. I just needed to understand the context. Gemini insisted on giving background & synopsis which I did not need

Hi Bryna I just used Gemini 3 to translate a 34 pg court transcript with awful handwriting. Its done a great job & saved me time. I checked every page & there were incorrect assumptions occasionally. No problem - it was worth the time. Just be sensible abt limitations!

Yes my dears, Uncle Andrew's new cottage is over there - somewhere...

Everyone should have a resident Scotsman!
Billy Connelly comes to mind.....

Yes - first word possibly 'assault' and 'strong push'makes sense

For those who have UK family and use the wonderful "Lost Cousins" app - do read the latest news from Peter Calder. Lost Cousins will continue! Love to him, and his family. #LostCousins #Genealogy www.lostcousins.com/newsletters2...

good idea. If you have a profession, look up the history of it in the area. Also search out old maps - very useful. Old street directories. Vestry records are great (money given out, illigit children etc). Build around & keep checking for new records. Good luck!

If records are not available, that happens. Look up the archives to find collateral info. Research the last Rev/priest to baptise who you have. Look into estate records. Research the village history. Spellings get odd before 1730. use the internet archive for history

God bless him, and help him to recover soon. He saved many lives - an example of loving your neighbour as yourself.

Use chatgpt - you get 3 free questions per day. I am decyphering a number of old documents very sucessfully with this method. You still need to do a final check, but heaps quicker than by your eyes only for the whole doc. only a page at a time though

Well done Paul - a great reault!

Australia's new regulations on 16 & unders not on social media working! Hooray for BlueSky, I got aked to verify may age here yesterday - I am 71!

So gather more info on her relatives before you start narrowing your research. Since other trees are inconsistent, forget them for now - it sounds like others have simply taken a stab at what might be possible. Is she catholic or protestant? did she immigrate? who was her husband?

Hi Brendan - using DNA areas will not really assist you at this stage of your research. There are 27 CS's born in Killarney born between 1869 & 1872. The Irish placenames are not consistent & may be a townland or a parrish (in different places altogether!

thats so sweet!

Hi Brendan - where online trees conflict, then you must start from scratch. Go back to where you are reasonably certain of the records, and look again. Check areas and work descriptions. I'll have a look tomorrow to see if there is more you can follow. Nil Desperandum !

go to the john grenham site, and do a surname search for places, then use the Irish Genealogy site (free) & Roots Ireland site $ to explore possibilities. Use DNA for clues. #Genealogy #IrishGenealogy

I am creating a powerpoint on the Evidence Explained citation method for my family history society. Wondering - how many FH writers & family historians use it? #Genealogy #genealogycitations

However, if you were to enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, and a five pound note, we may oblige.

Hi Debbie I have researched this area, as I have family living there during the period you mention. look it up on the Internet archive too, and also the East London History Society and Lockies Topography of London. What is the surname of your family? #Genealogy

How beautiful - I love them

Thankyou Janet - The loud, troubled people who are afraid eventually quieten - or burn themselves out. Those who take a deep breath, then remain steadfast - they endure. Or at least manage, which is the best we can do. With humour, with a light touch, and with vision.
