Just finished Nathan Dylan Goodwin's 1st in his new series and love it! While it's not genealogy-centric, it's genealogy-adjacent, so you'll get your fill of city directories, vital records, etc. Great location, timing, characters, but above all, story. I want this to become a TV series! #genealogy

September is hop-picking season! This photo is part of a collection held at Tonbridge Library, and shows hop pickers at Whitebread’s in Paddock Wood, Kent.

An old photo of children perched rather precariously on a tall ladder. They are standing in a hop garden, and the hop poles and plants can be seen either side of the children.

Finally got round to reading The Lost Ancestor by @nathandylangoodwin.bsky.social and thoroughly enjoyed it with some interesting plot connections at the end. Good read with lots of Genealogy throughout.

In Agatha Christie's 'Ordeal by Innocence' (1963), Dr Macmaster says, ‘It reminds me, you know, of the Bravo case – nearly a hundred years ago now, I suppose, but books are still being written about it.' 150 years after the case, I've written about it... www.amazon.co.uk/Mysterious-P...

Amazing day at Bodie State Park! A completely abandoned ghost town left in ‘arrested decay’. It was such a strange experience walking around the town looking around these properties. So many story ideas! I will definitely be setting at least one book here, possibly several.

There’s always a sadness when you finish a good book - the characters you’ve come to know and love are gone. In this case though there’s a few more in the series - the next one’s on order. Highly recommend Hiding the Past, by @nathandylangoodwin.bsky.social #Genealogy

Any bird watchers out there have any idea what this little chap could be? He visited my veg garden this morning and I’ve never seen anything like it before. Google suggests a Leucistic Goldfinch but they lack the dark collar this little chap had. Thanks! (This is Kent, England FYI)
