Really interesting about planting mulberries for silk. We’re proud of ours on Waterside, Knaresborough, reputedly planted by James I. Quite a contrast with the town’s flax and linen heritage! Still fruiting, too. #OnePlaceWednesday

Did the Civil War pass Rillington by?
Not quite. Baptisms become births. Marriage goes civil. Soldiers are active nearby. The King returns & a couple marry “according to the Cannon”. A small Yorkshire village meets national upheaval. #OnePlaceWednesday

#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Colour photo of part of an old, stone-built country house built in stages over several centuries, some parts of two storeys and others of three, with with varying window and chimney styles. In front of this part of the house is a large, sloping lawn, with a large Cedar of Lebanon tree on the right, and a smaller, deciduous tree (probably a Sycamore or a type of Maple) standing closer to the house, on the left. The pale blue sky above is largely covered by white clouds. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

On Sunday 18 Oct 2026, at the Library & Community Hub in Tauranga, New Zealand, Morag Hughson will be giving a free talk on Unst Family History – A One-Place Study from 2—3pm. Find out how studying the whole island uncovered patterns that researching ancestors alone would miss. #OnePlaceWednesday

#OnePlaceWednesday You could say that migration paths were the inspiration for my #OnePlaceStudy. A neighbor of one of my husband's family members (next door on the 1910 Valuation survey map) traveled on the same ticket number when they emigrated to the USA. That prompted me to look for others.

🎉For the longest time, Slapton near Kingsbridge in South Devon was listed as "Hapton" (due to a mis-indexing of Sl being read as H) at TNA but apparently now it is fixed!

Oh YES I am willing to do link review (and have just sent the project an email to that effect).

This is the kind of project I like to see, comparing complete datasets to each other. I am in!

How you can help We welcome contributions to verification in two main ways: Link review: Help validate samples of links suggested by our models using a simple web-based review interface, and help us break ties when our models aren’t confident enough. Sharing genealogical data: It is very helpful for us to compare our model’s results to genealogies that you may have already built. If you decide to share data with us we will commit to keep it entirely confidential and use it solely for research purposes.

This is exciting!

"The project is bringing in the full index to the marriage register, so we can link women over time. In most other record linking projects, women are not linked at all or only linked in a limited way before or after marriage – we lose 30-40% of the population."

The talk will be held in the Menuhin Room in the Central Library, Guildhall Square on Tuesday 29 September, 1:30pm.

Portsmouth History Centre is hosting a talk exploring the lives of #Portsmouth & #Southsea children during World War II. The talk looks at both those who were evacuated to the country and the children who stayed in the city.

I’ll shortly be visiting my former #OnePlaceStudy of #Dunster. I haven’t visited since 2023, & am very excited at the prospect 🤩 First stop will be Locks Tearoom for a ginger & honey cream tea 😋

Indeed! Pardon the pun. I was so lucky to have been given them. No permission required from anyone or anything. OPS gold. #OnePlaceWednesday

By linking millions of census records across decades, researchers are turning static snapshots of Victorian Britain into dynamic life histories – revealing how people moved, worked and lived in ways never before possible.

I’ve just started working on a migration project for my #OnePlaceStudy. I suspect most of it will be local, but looking forward to finding out for sure

David Barnard has registered two #OnePlaceStudies with us, both of places in Wales: Llwydcoed One-Place Study in Glamorgan and Castle View, Pensarn One-Place Study in Denbighshire. #OnePlaceWednesday

Llwydcoed One-Place Study. Image: An extract from an old, large scale Ordnance Survey map showing the dispersed settlement of Llwydcoed, with buildings, roads, railway lines, field boundaries, wooded areas, and old mining pits. The largest settlement, to the North, is Tre-Gibbon, with its own school and chapel. In the South-east corner of the map extract is Moriah Place, with a chapel and a pub named the Miners' Arms. The only church, dedicated to St James, stands alone at a road junction. Elsewhere, there is Llwydcoed Farm on the West side of the map extract, Llwydcoed Station on the railway, between the church and Tre-Gibbon, Llwydcoed House on the Southern edge of the map.
