MummyplaysMinecraft on that other place I’m a lifelong genealogist and independence supporter (unrelated). I’m a cross between an old hippy, a disco diva and a classic rocker, lover of books, art, old maps and history. Mum to a 9yo, usually dumfungled 🤣

I know its been said before, but I'm just screaming into the void... 43 trees on #Ancestry all with wrong information. Some are citing sources that they have obviously not read, or else they would realise that being 81 at the time of birth kinda rules you out as being the right mum... #Genealogy

So sad 💔 I spent the afternoon on a great great aunt. She had 2 girls, the youngest died just over a year old. She went into the Poorhouse at just 4 days old and appears to have never left 😥 It’s the little ones that get you…

My partner was diagnosed with Lymphoma in yr 2 of the pandemic. It took 6 months to learn what was going on but given the circumstance, perhaps understandable. However, as soon as the C word was said, he had a consultant and started treatment within 3 weeks. Forever grateful to be in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wab Kinew reacts to Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario: "You know when a rock band is really over the hill and you see them in a casino playing some song from like 50 years ago? I think that's the part of Donald Trump's presidency we're at now."

I first saw it when it came out from the back of a pickup at a drive thru In W.Virginia. For a young backpacking Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so many iconic themes in one night. Went hunting for a bookstore and a ‘feeling’ took me down a back street to find a bookshop and said book. Felt as if book was calling me ❤️😂

Suspected that 4xggd was married twice. I researched all evidence of his 2 families, tracing all 11 known children of 2 mothers across the globe. Today I found the final bit. Youngest daughter of wife 1 staying with son of her half-brother, youngest son of wife 2 - her "half-nephew" to be exact 🥳

I was 15 and didn’t get into the school debating team. Dad gave me lots of pearls of wisdom but the standout was ‘Nil desperandi, Illegitimi non carborundum’. Wrote it out and stuck it on my wall. Still have it somewhere 48 years later….❤️

Whoo Hoo 🤣I've discovered a 4 x great half-uncle was in the 1860 census for Philadelphia twice. I've heard it was possible but never seen it. He and his wife were staying with his son (and his family) on 5th June 1860 but back home with their grown-up daughter on 26th June.

Genealogymum @genealogymum.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
My other tip, if the name is not too common or place not too large is to do a mini one-name study with pre-census records. Connecting all the villagers of that name can often help sort which cousins/second cousins (all called John after grandad) belong to which parent.

Genealogymum @genealogymum.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Also always view the source if you can and not a transcription. You never know who else is on the same census page. I found my 30yr brick wall almost next door but under an assumed name (he took his mother’s maiden name) as still married. I searched his ‘bidie-in’ rather than my missing 2xg uncle.

I’m wondering how to define Irish ancestry 😂 my own little bit came to Glasgow late 1830s but were only in Ireland for 200 years as that line were plantation settlers from Suffolk (thanks dna!). My OH though is Irish through and through back to Brian Boru (again dna). Does my stay count? 😂

The article didn’t explore the difference that not having children makes to your income (she said they didn’t have children). The added costs of a constantly growing child are significant 🤣

Have posted this before but my GG Aunt (age 26) fits your Friday 13th and today's Valentines topics with the worst date ever. She died in the back of the police cab enroute to hospital in 1879, choking on tripe. Her date didn't even stick around... #Genealogy #worstdateever #Valentines
Newspaper clipping
Singular Case of Sudden Death in an Eating House 
On Saturday evening a man and a woman entered an eating house in Stockwell Street and were furnished on demand with a supply of tripe and potatoes.  Shortly after...the young woman was observed to grow ghastly pale and becoming speechless also, an alarm was raised.  The man pretended to run for a doctor but never returned...A post-mortem examination was made....when it was ascertained that the cause of death was choking - a piece of tripe having stuck in the woman's throat...

Absolutely no sympathy here for Epstein & Maxwell but please don’t do this to the McMann family. As far as I am aware (and I’m in UK so see media coverage), there has never been suspicions of a female involved in the abduction. Enough conspiracy theories as it is.

Heartfelt Commiserations. I hit 288 and then my old iPad died, never to charge again. I had to pretend to then 9yo that it didn’t matter, it was only a game, as after all, I tell that to him almost every day when he is on a device. But inside I was screaming 😱
