Thanks for joining us @allthosebefore.bsky.social . It was so much fun to have time together and to see what everyone was researching.

Looking forward to teaching this topic on Friday. For anyone who was in the APG Symposium, this builds on what we taught last week.

How come when you're just about to publish a family history book you find new material... that's what it's been like the last couple of weeks. Helped by the Family Search Full Text Search. #GenHour

That moment when you find the document that you never knew existed and which proved a theory. I go that twice this week. One will for a client and one naturalisation (for me). Roll on next week. #GenHour #FamilyHistory

Had a great night talking about researching family heirlooms last night to Canterbury Genealogy. So I post this question to you... What are you going to do with your family heirlooms? #GenHour #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Heirlooms

Really looking forward to the Escape to the Past Family History Retreat next weekend with @miagen.bsky.social. A whole weekend of just doing family history and having someone else cook and clean. We're planning a UK one for next year. Let me know if you're interested. #GenHour #

I'm giving a talk tonight to IHGS on Family History in the AI Era. Find out what AI can do for your family history and what it can't? I'll show you how AI is changing the game, making it way simpler to explore where you come from. Monday 11 November 2024 7:00pm (GMT) www.ihgs.ac.uk/tutorial-fam....
