#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of a view across a small lake on a sunny day in late Winter / early Spring. Parts of leafless trees can be seen on either side of the foreground, framing the view along with reedbeds at the bottom of the image. More trees (singles and small areas of woodland) can be seen, along with sheep pasture, on the other side. The blue and partially cloudy sky above is reflected in the water of the lake, in the middle of which is a group of white birds (Gulls).

About One-Place Studies | Registered Studies

The record sets you can discover this way are limited right now, but I'm hoping this will be a big help for those of us doing #OnePlaceStudies and for those who are researching surnames which are prone to mis-indexing. The downside is that it is offering me a lot of collections I've already seen.

#genealogy #OnePlaceStudies
Further adventures with Ancestry's beta Full Text Search:

I can attach the pages from the UK medical registers to a person in my trial tree for my #OnePlaceStudy. Create the person in your tree first, then you can add the page you've found.

#Genealogy #OnePlaceStudies

I hadn't thought to look for medical practicioners in my place yet, but now I have things I can review.

*important*

You can sort the results (one page at a time) by publication order! Not as good as findmypast's sort, but it's better than not being able to sort at all.

"Browse by collection will give you a list of results like this, with the title of each collection and the number of search results for that collection. This makes it easier to choose the records you haven't looked at already.
e.g. UK Medical Registers, 1859-1959

#genealogy Full Text Search is live on my Ancestry account! I did a preliminary search for a place name.

#OnePlaceStudies #LocalHistory

#AncestryHour One of the collections that turned up in my search just now: Quebec, Canada, Notarial Records, 1637-1935

I have been wanting to search these records by a combination of Surname plus place name for a *long* time. #OnePlaceStudies #OneNameStudies

Ooh, editorial in this week's edition calling for an end to corporal punishment - a schoolmaster raised in neighbouring Linslade got five years prison for assaulting one of his pupils down in Devon (broke his skull, and the boy lost his sight). #1876OPS #OnePlaceStudies

Great news for people doing #OnePlaceStudies!

#OnePlaceStudies Managed to prove it! Spelling is MEES or MEESE, take your pick. Unfortunately I've also found another John Meese boatman, totally separate to this one. And both of them married a Hannah & had kids in the same place/time frame. Don't mind me, I'm just over here sobbing quietly😱

#OnePlaceStudies Looks like my #BoatFamilies tree has just collapsed even further. Extremely high possibility that John Mays, John Mees, and John Meese are actually the same person. All I have to do is prove it! (and choose the 'correct' spelling!)
