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!

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

The General Regulatory Chamber partially upheld Ancestry’s appeal, ruling that producing the requested records was within NRS’ public task #Genealogy #Ancestry www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/ancestr...

Found this site #Genealogy when looking for poor Alfred Oxtoby who got sent to Rampton in 1910. If you need info on mental health institutions then this is just amazing studymore.org.uk/4_13_TA.HTM

Jessica Barratt writes another cracker of a story on 'The Dusty Box' - all about a missing mailbag. The disappearance of Sister Mercy is excellent too! #Genealogy #GenealogyAustralia thedustybox.substack.com

oh yes! Found the actual jobs my Turncock ancester Jason Boesley was doing for the parish - he was paid 2/6 for undoing the lock on the pump in the street to allow water to flow. Thanks FamilySearch full search! #genealogy

Great stories here, and beautifully illustrated and produced. #GenealogyNewZealand #genealogy oneancestor.co/the-search-f...

So much insight into First Nations women and domestic service #Genealogy #firstnations #australia theconversation.com/topics/frida...

My GG grandmother was charged but not convicted of doing abortions - I found she was operating a scam for money - pretty callous. Have just found what happened to the girl she scammed (court case) so at last can complete the story! long live indepth research! #Genealogy

New on Ancestry (for World Explorer/World Heritage) – a transcribe feature for handwriting. Its not too bad – I tested it on a marriage cert with messy writing & given the difficulty of writing in columns, it got most right except for transcribing Williams as Bellairs (interesting!). #genealogy

New post from Tales from the Grave #GenealogyAustralia #firstnations www.talesfromthegrave.org/post/she-was...

Finally got my clusters - Australia too far for you, Ancestry? #genealogy #ancestry

Another of my favourite Australian Blogs - this one by Jessica Barratt. "The Dusty Box" presents the disappearance of a nun in Western Australia! #Genealogy thedustybox.substack.com/p/sister-mer...

I am very impressed with this site, and the back issues available in full. But must comment - lets continue with "an historian" - British common usage - not "a historian" which is awkward to say. #genealogy phanza.org.nz/new-zealand-...

I just have to give some space here to Judy Webster, who is a fantastic genealogist and all-round-go-to for all things family history in Australia. She has an inspiring website PACKED with free archives & information. #genealogy #australianGenealogy www.judywebster.com.au

This is such a wonderful site! I can map my family in the 1600-1700's on this easily. A treasure. #genealogy www.grubstreetproject.net

Found this wordpress site today - a huge repository of Australian history including names of first nations people incarcerated (& died) on Rottnest Island- a horrible chapter in WA history. Important to remember & reflect #Australia #Genealogy gwrehder.wordpress.com/western-aust...

The generosity of family historians - I have an interest in the Kirkheaton area of Lancashire UK and just found this amazing site packed with information #genealogy www.kirkheaton.info/index.php

Some great new Antrim records available on RootsIreland! #genealogy #Irishgenealogy www.rootsireland.ie/2025/06/new-...

Wondering why so many of the books I want in the Internet Archive are unavailable - I'm looking for a history of Pauper Farms in London 18 C. Hope the lawsuit gets resolved soon help.archive.org/help/why-are...

1698 & my 7th G Grandfather built a sugar refinary in Goodmans fields, London. It cost over 3 million pounds (todays value). How can I find where he got the money from? #genealogy I need a London historian - where to look? #historian

May I introduce the site of one of my favourite storytellers, "the Dusty Box"aka Jessica Barratt. This is a fascinating story- A dressmaker's Tale. thedustybox.substack.com

anyone know what this succulent is?

I've just watched the first episode of "The Secret DNA of Us". Its an Australian production, and a bit different to the usual 'famous person' type approach. Its great! if you can, watch it - its on SBS #genealogy #familyhistory #Australia www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

This is a great website beautifully produced: The Navy Records Society. www.navyrecords.org.uk/magazine_pos...

I loved this find in a charity shop. Bought the pair of dishes of course. But its the scene of the "household clear-out" which is most endearing for me. I only hope the photos, diaries and letters went to Aunty Pat too! #Genealogy #Familyhistory

Interested in researching Australian convicts? This is a great list of publications from the University of New England #Convicts #Genealogy #familyhistory #Australia blog.une.edu.au/convicthisto...

Does anyone have a history for this RC Cork Church? Holy Trinity Ringrone Ballindine Templefines (Courcy's country Ballinspittal) Maybe built 1752, modified or rebuilt? My 2 x GGrandmthr bap 1828 there by Rev Jefford #genealogy #genealogyCork corkandross.org/parishes/cou...

The New Zealand Society of Genealogists is just excellent. Their 'Kiwi Index' is my go-to tool. There I found the two children my ist cousin 2x removed had, both before she was married AND the bio fathers. Now thats rare! genealogy.org.nz

A confession - I have just found where I can store references in FamilySearch - the source box. Honestly had no idea before, but a gamesaver as I find references to my Cuttle family in Cork with Full Text Search.

Hey! the Scots have added a TROVE www.trove.scot but don't forget there is already one for Australia trove.nla.gov.au

Hooray! my daughter's mother-in-law (my friend too!) asked for help to find her grandfather - her mother was illegitimate. With help of a DNA wiz who volunteerd - we have just found the man! Hello Thomas Joyce - you were a bigamist too... tsk tsk

Just found this - what a wonderful site! I am hoping to be able to transcribe the Will of my 5 x GGrandmother, Bridget Pope (nee Noncon) 1792. Its the copy which makes it difficult.. sites.exeter.ac.uk/materialcult...

Very excited to find my 4 x g grandfather Joseph Clarkson had a child by Mary Gilliatt abt 1779 when he was 18 out of wedlock, for which his father paid 20 L. Ploughing through 100's of full text possbilities for this!! #Genealogy

Users of Genealogy Assistant - how reliable is this feature?Seems like something I would like, but want reviews. Also - how safe? #Genealogy

Is anyone following the name #CUTTLE in Ireland? I'd love to be in touch. #Genealogy #Cork

I just love the way Northern (and the Irish Republic) are protecting their history www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Also recommending Moya Sharp who continues the fabulous 'Outback Family History' website. outbackfamilyhistory.com.au

Trying to read old handwriting - an inquest in 1853. Pen-to-print converted it to Russian. Transkribus turned it into German. Anything free out there that could help?
