I’m not into #TheBible at all; I think we know that.

But I did love my great-grandfather (who called me D-Con, bc I 1x ate rat poison at his house and nearly died as a 2yo), and he loved The Bible.

Brothers who averaged seven feet tall. Years ago, my distant cousin sent this snippet about our Joseph Ryder of Bellerby. I haven't connected the Rev'd Dr.'s great uncle to our family but I hope the legendary giants do belong to us. #FamilyLore #GenealogyStories #FamilyHistory

Listening to a fascinating @cfrc-folklore.bsky.social seminar from Simon Gall of Expressing Scotland on his #folklore #familylore fieldwork into children's mediascapes and playful personalised traditional helper figures and characters in family life @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social
