Perhaps hope is coming in the form of individual trees that no one else can touch (unless invited)! FamilySearch is testing the concept. Info here: www.familysearch.org/en/labs/docs...

Oh hai it's just me with another random 1900 census page --this one's from Brooklyn-- where every. single. person. had foreign born parents. Just a reminder.

A blue peacock sits quietly in the chapel grounds.

Camping at a Catholic Monastery! A new one for us. Quiet and peaceful. The bells of the small chapel ring out at times. Peacocks wander the property. It’s lovely. #StDavid #HolyTrinityMonastery #Arizona #Casita #camp #SouthernAZ #az

I’ve written a couple of articles for the @myheritageofficial.bsky.social wiki that point to their databases. This one might be helpful www.myheritage.com/wiki/How_to_...

Both are equally likely. These links might be useful : www.jewishgen.org/safrica/ and

For more general research, the Genealogical Society of South Africa has records online including excellent burial records among others eggsa.org/index.php/en/
Sadly, there are no extant South African censuses that have details on individuals. They are all statistical only.

Such an exhausting work week! Evidence: in one of many meetings yesterday, my response to colleague’s question was “No need to reinvent the horse”. And when did I realize I said ‘horse’? At 3 a.m. when my tired brain felt it necessary to replay that particularly insightful response. Horse - Wheel 🤷♀️

A brand new #Blog exploring how easy it is to accept an online hint at face value and the pitfalls of what happens if you do. Does your tree have solid roots? Have you built a tree that stands the test of time?

The image is of two Irish genealogy books. One titled Immigrants and Exiles by Kerby A Miller. The other titled Irish migrants in the Canadas by Bruce S Elliott.
I love new books! Looking forward to digging in!
I’d love to see any new books (don’t have to be genealogy related) you’re looking forward to reading.
Let’s add to our to-read lists and support #authors
