Couple that with common surnames and I'll need to settle in for the long haul, I feel.

Yes, I joined JewishGen a while ago. I find the interface highly confusing though (despite the RootsTech talk I saw last month). I worry there's information I've missed in there, it's highly likely!
#AncestryHour

I'll give it a read 🤞
#AncestryHour

Yes, I found that too, thank you. There are some maybes in there but not enough information for any kind of certainty.

I don't know; I've not been at #AncestryHour for a while either.

Hashtag isn't working as well as my regular Following feed at the moment.

If anyone has any experience, tips, advice regarding #Jews in 18th #Jamaica, I'd be grateful. As yet my only non-English ancestors, so I have much curiosity but little knowledge.

How to search the 1926 Irish census YouTube video by Claire Bradley

I'm preaching to the choir here but if you have a newbie interested in searching the #1926census, I've done a quick video explainer. Please share. #Speirgorm #Skystorians #Genealogy #IrishGenealogy

I looked at my newsfeed this morning and the first article was about the #1926Census ! It must be so exciting; I'm looking forward to hearing your exclamations.

If anyone knows a site that summarizes such things (accurately), I'd be grateful.

Blaming last night's headache on reading the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors in England (1813). It's not the length but the legalese that destroys my focus, not to mention the lack of decent punctuation.

(I included my relative's full name as I know how much Nathan enjoys interesting middle names 😄).

A coincidence in this week's #FamilyTreeTalk when Nathan spoke of relatives with daughters Mary and Maria: my relative William Simpson Pereira had daughter Mary followed by Maria about two years later. Both appear together in the censuses, so not the same person.

I'm excited by proxy!

Chickens are so soothing to watch and it's heartwarming to see them in a garden like this.

Of course they felt it; our brains are essentially the same going back centuries, likely more. People seem to want to distance themselves from the past for some reason.

I've never seen a bun loaf before, it sounds ideal.

I remembered the game but not the name. No points for me!

How tragic! We have a lot to be thankful for in the modern era.

I am assuming some kind of illness as well.

That's really tough, the poor parents.

Oh my goodness, I remember those! Mesmerising.

They lost Herbert within a couple of months, followed by Emily a couple of months later.
We're used to reading about infant deaths in history, but the loss of your first two children within months of each other... I only hope they had loved ones for comfort and support.

I don't usually get emotional during research, but the losses my 2x great-grandparents experienced during 1893-94 made me pause. Their first child, Emily Gladys Louisa, was born in the autumn of 1892, followed by a son, Herbert William John, in late 1893.

Thanks for the tips; I might do that. I'm getting ahead of myself though - I'd planned to do my OPS during retirement (which is a ways away!), but reading people talk about theirs has distracted me from my current projects and made me want to stake a claim before it's too late...
#OnePlaceStudies

Thanks, Jane.

A question for #OnePlaceStudy people: what's the etiquette when you want to begin a study that falls within a registered study? In this case, a hamlet within a registered parish. Is that even acceptable as a separate study?
#OnePlaceWednesday

Thanks! I shall. Although... What level of crime are we talking here: gore, human depravity, or more Miss Marple?
