My Great x4 Grandmother, Antje Boekel, passed away in Schoorl. Fun fact: While driving to the shore with my family, we went through Schoorl. To my English-speaking ear, it sounded like my relatives were saying "squirrel." #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

Case #240: Inscribed "Marian Holdsworth from Will – Oct 15th 1896", this eBay album was a birthday gift from William Rose to Marian—and she married him! Will was an ironmonger turned singing teacher. It's now reunited with family in Australia! #genealogy #VictorianPhotography #CDV #FamilyHistory

#genealogy #familyhistory in one week by chance browsing I found my Grandmothers first child @ 17, adopted and died @ 2mths. And how she came to be in a very small country town to marry a year later. Never stop looking. no one knew

Among the people enslaved on John Tharp's Jamaican plantations (1817-1832) were some with more unusual names. For example, a boy born on Lansquinet plantation in 1794 was given the name Sampies buff.ly/lSQBW2i #slavery #Jamaica #familyhistory

I'd like to honor my great grandfather and also my namesake, Rev. John Kennedy Moorhouse. #ClergyAppreciationDay #genealogy #familyhistory

Christine Kuehn's riveting account of her family's history, Family of Spies, is one of the suggestions for our "book tasting" at the library next Saturday. Unbelievable true story of discovering her family of Nazis & spies. #BookSky #Spies #Nazis #WWII #FamilyHistory. tinyurl.com/5n8sddt3

On #ClergyAppreciationDay, we remember the very musical Fr. Vincent Wagner, a cousin three times removed, born in 1865: toomuchbrudders.com/2023/07/09/t... #FamilyHistory #Indiana

Update: it seems that the biographical details are based on little more than Ancestry trees. 🤬
Cursing that the children were all born before civil registration so no MMNs to help. Further cursing that the 1841 Census doesn’t include relationship to HOH. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy
