It's always time well spent when visiting the monthly Speakers Corner (convened by #ProjectKin produced and presented by @jennifer-jones.bsky.social and supported by @projectkin.bsky.social ... Whether watching or speaking. This month I told a story from my #OnePlaceStudy. #FamilyHistory
Come and join us tomorrow for Projectkin’s Speakers’ Corner. @janechapman.bsky.social and Lex Knowlton will be telling us stories from Downunder. This is a free event but you will need to register for the Zoom link. We’d love to see you there tockify.com/eventscalend...
The April Focus for Speakers Corner (Projectkin) at Substack is stories from 'downunder' - yesterday was the live preview of what is coming later in the week [myself @jennifer-jones.bsky.social and Lex Knowlton] #FamilyHistory bjnlsgenealogy.substack.com/p/speakers-c...
Here is the recording from March's Kathy's Corner. A great glimpse into Jane's @janechapman.bsky.social inherited Treasure Box and setting up your own Treasure Box. substack.com/@kathystone/...

You won't want to miss this... and yes, Projectkin will play a role again this year. Stay tuned for details.
Looking forward to this @yycphoto.bsky.social and @projectkin.bsky.social
I agree, it does suggest that some people like what they read in the short BlueSky message enough to react to it without clicking through to actually read the Substack post ... Their loss because the Substack post is definitely a post worth reading!
In part that may be because some of us have already seen it and read it on Substack before coming across it here-?
Excellent research and the photos are great especially the one of you with your great grandmother!
We had two fabulous stories and storytellers on Speakers’ Corner this week. The recording is in the post in case you missed it. open.substack.com/pub/projectk...
I know what you mean. I try to avoid cruise ship days when shopping in Wellington ... We are accustomed to walking on the left-hand side of the pavement and most of the visitors are used to the right-hand side. Sometimes it's hard work avoiding people coming from the opposite direction.
Can anyone help Daniel?
I agree. It's looking good and I like the way @crgalvin.bsky.social has pinned an index at the top.
This is amazing, Dai!
@projectkin.bsky.social Each gen of signatures from my 2x great grandma, Anne Williams (signed as Mrs. Tom Davies), to my 12x grampie, David Evans of Pantcoy. The fact my 9x grandma could write her name in 1711 is so fascinating to me. Like where did she go to school??? #Genealogy
Rather chuffed to have my article published in The New Zealand Genealogist magazine December issue. The theme was "Where did they live?" #genealogy #familyhistory #archives #nz #genhour #oneplacestudies
This is our very special year end program of @yycphoto.bsky.social Kathy’s Corner… it’s going to be a hoot! And free. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #genhour
Join us! Holiday stories… remember that time when you caught Santa kissing mommy?
#GenHour #FamilyHistory
That's great! #GenHour #Genealogy #FamilyHistory
Thanks. I will do that!
A little late ... Just tuning in for the tail end #OPSConf25
I posted it on 19 October 2025 (around the same time as the Kapiti course). First PO couldn't send anything to US at all and told me of the 2 in Wellington on a different system that could. I may have been fortunate to go to two PO's with knowledgeable helpful people!-?
I recently sent an MtDNA kit to USA from NZ. The first PO I went to couldn't send to US but told me which ones in Wellington can so I went to one of those. The person there advised me to send Economy. It cost me $4.70 and took 11 days to get there. She advised not to send Express.
It's always exciting to find something drawn or written in an ancestor's own hand, isn't it #GenHour (belated!)
I have only just caught up with this because I was on a plane on the way to Melbourne during #GenHour today. Yes, I agree with @projectkin.bsky.social, the page Projectkin.org/stories250 is certainly worth checking out #Stories250
