Hi, a quick plug for this virtual talk on Sat 11 Apr at the @sogorg.bsky.social. They've found this amazing speaker, can't recommend enough. Says will talk about tables and mudlarking of all things. Oh and will be his Dad's 91st b'day, so bringing a virtual cake.

Just did the most fun & thoughtful RootsTech Ridealong session with my most genuine of friends Barbara Tien at Projectkin. I should have talked more about WeAre, but this was just a beautiful stream of consciousness that made my year xx Barbara in Berkeley where sand dollars are the real currency 🙂
When a conversation begins "I have to tell you about time travel" you know it's going to be good. What a fun conversation with @simondmd.bsky.social. Watch for the recording with detailed notes within a couple of hours.

Made a note - good luck btw
Happy days - we need a re-match
We could meet in the 5 Fishes again :)
For my old school friend - deffo xx
Please do come along - a really fun chat rather than a workshop - lets see what hidden gems people have found in their research - and exchange experiences of getting family interest

Got any glass plate negatives or marooned camcorder DAT tapes. @sogorg.bsky.social running this delicious course, and digitally preserving these will be my contribution:

My lovely daughter spotted this in a bookshop in York for £4 and brought it for me :) how great is that xx
Looking forward to it - will be fun :) Anyone remember their camcorders?
yikes
Oh my - I have found a 56 page record for him - thank you so much
brilliant - thank you Michelle. Going to be hard to concentrate on my day job today :)
The way they say a lunatic being transported - implying an official diagnosis & that he is in custody as a result being moved to an institution perhaps? I’ve not found reference to him in Charter Towers media. Did he come from Shropshire to seek his fortune in the gold fields & became destitute
Thank you very much
@atcherleyons.bsky.social I assume thats you :) you genius. I found the most tragic record. He jumped suicidally from a ship. Definitely him - the whole record says from Shropshire. Hope I can find more insights. Thank you so much
you are right - uck sorry
Uck - I meant Charters Towers as pointed out !!! thank you so much for all the responses
