LizG @trivvieliz.bsky.social · 28/09/2026After many years I have found the 1851 census image ofor my husband's great grandfather who came over from Ireland. He appeared to have married in January 1851 and his wife died 18 months lter. The census confirms it is the same person as his place of birth was Wicklow Ireland........ 1100

We had a talk by @coachcarole.bsky.social on the practical uses of AI in Genealogy. A superb talk.

LizG @trivvieliz.bsky.social · 18/07/2025I forgot to add this to my #OnThisDay post yesterday and it is something I find very touching & yet so coincidental.

LizG @trivvieliz.bsky.social · 17/07/2025#OnThisDay in 2006 was the funeral service for my father in Bexhill, East Sussex. He was 87 years old. My nephew called him a gentleman and he was. A kind, caring gentle man who rarely raised his voice. It is appropriate that I am looking for more newspaper reports of him #FamilyHistory #GenHour 4130
LizG @trivvieliz.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Evening #GenHour Haven't been doing much family history ofver the last few weeks because of the hot weather but hope to get back on track now. Currently searching the FMP newspapers for articles about my ancestors. 1100
LizG @trivvieliz.bsky.social · 06/07/2025This month's topic for my U3A FH group meeting has to begin with the letter T.
