Congratulations to you all! 👏 🥳 👩‍🎓

With the festive season coming up consider giving (or asking for!) the gift of learning with Pharos gift vouchers. www.pharostutors.com/gift-voucher

Praise indeed! ☺️👇

This was huge fun to do. Do get in touch if you can help with my Cowling Y-DNA project. And listen to all the other episodes too, I highly recommend! #Ancestry #Genealogy #Podcasts

I never watched it before this series, but I’m completely hooked! 🎣

A very enjoyable day talking all things DNA 🧬 and listening to some fascinating talks at the Guild of One-Name Studies DNA Seminar, catching up with old friends and meeting some IRL for the first time. Bravo to the seminar team! 👏 The conference in April also looks really interesting! 🤔

Clarks is renowned across the world for the distinctive look and style of its shoes. The history of the company, which began as a humble family affair in Somerset 200 years ago is being told in a new museum. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Took me a moment. Thank goodness they used the correct spelling, otherwise goodness knows what your reply would have been! 😂

TMW you get a couple of hours free to work on your own #FamilyHistory research… No @findmypast.bsky.social no! 😩

Enjoy! ☺️ 🧬

This seems an appropriate accompaniment to the last tweaking and checking of my Advanced DNA course, which starts on Monday. #FamilyHistory #GeneticGenealogy @pharostutors.bsky.social

Do you have a publication date (approx)?

How exciting!

I’ve just listened to this fabulous new podcast with Mell and my good friend and Pharos tutor Kelly @whoamiftr.bsky.social chatting about her professional genealogy work. I don’t think I’ve heard myself referred to as the “big boss” of @pharostutors.bsky.social before! 😂

Congratulations @kittyawinks.bsky.social! 🥳

Ohh, ‘ello, I recognise that face… 😊

This week I am working on the final parts of my brand new Pharos Tutors course ‘Advanced DNA Strategies with Autosomal DNA’ which means I get to play with chromosome painting and visual phasing all week, in the name of work! #DoWhatMakesYouHappy #GeneticGenealogy

This week I’ve been working on the proof for my book, requesting a tweak here and there to make it beautiful for my readers. I’ve also got to choose which option to go for for the cover. #Genealogy #MethodsAndTechniques #Author #BookComing2026 #Exciting
