#GenHour I picked up one of the Pen & Sword Tracing Your Ancestors books for $0.50 and another for $0.99. Not many books in the series are downpriced, but it may be worth a look.

This may be more of interest to people who do Big Data work, but I'll tag this for #GenHour anyway. #genealogy

Future historians (of all kinds) may not have the information-rich census data we've come to expect.

#GenHour Also this week: I added Evidentia 4 to my #genealogy and #FamilyHistory software toolkit.

#GenHour This was one of the interesting discoveries I made this week. How is your research going?

#GenHour Spreadsheet users: if you get caught out by the newest upgrade for Windows 11, may I recommend LibreOffice Calc?

#GenHour This week Newspapers-dot-com had some good hits for my #OnePlaceStudy. Definitely recommend setting up alerts on newspaper sites if they offer that feature.

Writing Instructor, memoir coach, and author, Annette Gendler, on her livestream talking about #MigrationStories #FamilyHistory. #GenHour

In just the first 50 stories, I got to see how one of my stories crossed paths with one of @genealogyjustask.bsky.social 🫠

Some parents had not yet decided on a name for their child when the the census came. Robert and Ethel Evans came up with the novel name 'XYZ' for their child. Elsewhere, parents were told they could use 'Baby' or 'Tootsie'! Find out more in 'A History of the Census Takers' - #GenHour #Ancestry

If you have your copy, let me know what you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts. 'A History of the Census Takers' - find out about the men and women who took the census and how your ancestors felt about them and the process of filling out the schedule. #Ancestry #Genealogy #GenHour

Congratulations Mish. It looks interesting and very useful! #GenHour

I've enjoyed the bitesized talks from @pharostutors.bsky.social this week. Snippets of inspiration from Ag Labs to Secretary Hand, Powerpoint family trees to Inquisitions Post Mortem.

Thank you. Yes I was very pleased when the publishers said it would be this imprint. #GenHour

I hope you find it useful and it helps you with your research. It certainly made me think differently about things. ##GenHour

Hope it comes soon! ##GenHour

#GenHour Could a map change the way you research your ancestors?

Get ready for #AATP26 with Dr Sophie Kay and discover practical mapping strategies for genealogists: from finding old addresses to analysing historical communities using the Outlier Method and Concentric Survey.
