Cambridge University's historic women's prison records transcribed Volunteers are transcribing records of women imprisoned by Cambridge University in the 19th Century.

The Spinning House Project records around 6,000 women imprisoned by Cambridge University in the 19th Century. This project is being worked on by @theul.bsky.social & CHFHS

This should be an easy search in the 1939 Register... Err oh. Right then. 😂#genealogy #thisrecordisofficiallyclosed

It's definitely the little things that make you smile :)

Lincolnshire Echo - Thursday 23 September 1976 - Name of the city Coroner was Dr Humphrey Butcher

It's the little things that make me smile. Like the name of this coroner seems somewhat apt. #NamesdefiningProfessions #Genealogy

I've not seen this formatting yet and I hope I don't!

Today's Genealogy challenge: When you find evidence that someone married 3 times in the 20thC, but Ancestry cannot believe there would be 3 marriages and so hides the marriage index records from you in the deepest depths of their vaults making source ref'ing trickier than it needs to be. #genealogy

Irish Ancestry: This week will primarily be made up of mapping 25 DNA matches back to Cork, building family trees 4/5 generations for all with 4 common names... none of them connect. Also building out about 12 other trees with same names from same place & none of them connecting either. #genealogy

same! even when you refresh and change to latest

Reasons why I love my job #74: Working on a project could mean working with Greek, Russian, Yiddish and Irish documents all in the same day - for the same family! #genhour #genealogy #I<3myjob

This almost sounds like a kind of poultice or brew to be applied to something to keep a room fresh, or be ruined on an aching body part.

Well that seems like an unintended but welcome benefit! :)

British man finds hidden Cypriot family roots For many, a grave is a tangible anchor, allowing us to preserve relationships with loved ones long after they have passed. It is both a symbolic representation of enduring presence in our lives and a ...

As the Genealogist who worked on the Family History and DNA analysis research for Dave, I could not be happier for him. I wish more families would be open to such reunions from diaspora-separated relatives.

Was it tasty?

And that's a wrap! 1 week, 25 cemeteries, 11574 photos taken, 2 State Archive trips and very sore legs! Time to get ready to go home 🏡

Sunset in Klavdia, Larnaca

There were lots of possible pics I could have taken on the road today. The view from the troodos mountains being one. But if I'd stopped each time I'd wanted to take a pic, I would have got no work done!! 8 Cemeteries completed today in Limassol. ##genealogyresearch #cic #cemeteriesincyprus

Ok I thought only doing a quarter of this cemetery plus the aglantzia one was a bit of a fail. Then I checked and ideologies done over 1700 photos - the equivalent of 5 cemeteries on a good day and i can it was just fine!!!

My fave place! ❤️

In today's news. I think I underestimated how large the Constantinos and Eleni cemetery in Nicosia was.... I've also been bitten alive. Might need to move on and come back to this one! #genealogy #cemeteriesincyprus #cic
