iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yes, it has quietened, but I still check in every day for new family history information, which I pass on to the Family History Western Australia (FHWA) society. Would like to see more Australian & New Zealand posters though

Unfortunately you will need to do a lot of work to uncover what the record is, and how it relates to your person of interest. have a look at Evidence Explained for assistance #Genealogy evidenceexplained.com/home

So right! I am writing articles for (hopefully) publication on some of my more bizarre family history - and finding just how deep I can go!

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.

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!

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!

comma54 @comma54.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

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

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

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!

110

comma54 @comma54.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

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
