Good day to you!

It's true! This has been a long time in the planning, so I'm delighted everything is now live for people anywhere in the world to access. Remember many local libraries in the UK offer free Ancestry access as well!

This sounds like an amazing resource for people interested in Yorkshire history, or with ancestors here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Ah crap I gotta get back before my parking runs out!”

Folks! A reminder! A signal boost! A note that the gardening can wait til tomorrow! By thunder, there’s sixteen million all new records to search!

Good news for people with Yorkshire ancestors!

It's time well wasted!

Big news for the wills world:

#EarlyModern 🗃️

Just been having a look at this - what a source. Even indexes everybody listed in the will and how they were related to the testator. Well worth a look.

DAMMIT!

Consider yourself spoiled (well, probate register number is there!!)

If you want the most extra picture possible here is me, signing the agreement with Ancestry…..IN ABU DHABI

Yes! Not just the testator - all the legatees are listed as well! ALL OF THEM! With their relationship to the testator! We were BLOWN AWAY by that!

This is such a huge achievement, and a massive new research resource that is accessible to everyone with access to Ancestry (always check with your local library, btw, you may get free access there). Huuuge thanks to EVERYONE who has worked on this over the last five years to get us to this point!

Today’s fun!

A visit from the UoY and York St John Doctor Who societies to look at the Terrance Dicks Archive. Honestly such an uplifting afternoon! Loved it!

Words used @uoyborthwick.bsky.social today

"I laughed so hard, I broke my collar stiffener"

"WHY IS THERE A DALEK IN MY ARCHIVES DISPLAY?" (yes this was in all caps)

"I've been looking at pictures of tits, we're showing them to the students next week"

"Fetch the Bindomatic 5000!"

Another day, another slightly baffling vintage advert from the archives ('a showerfully good idea' was right there!)

This is an amazing resource for anyone working on their York family history, and we're pleased to say the Society is running a second weekly drop in session here at the Borthwick on the main university campus, every Friday from 10am-4pm for all your local history needs 😊 @balhnews.bsky.social
