Furthermore, I've used Chatgpt to help make sense of all the legalese in another will (yes, two today! Genealogy heaven!) I am saving so much time. I had to copy and paste 6 chunks of text because the will was across 6 jpegs in Tryleo.ai but it was handy to get a nice, easy-to-understand summary. 😍

These are so much fun! Would be so interesting to identify the people in the photos.
Classic example of the value of taking photos of the "ordinary." #genealogy

Finally had a look at findleo.ai for transcribing old documents, and I'm impressed!! There was one word I was stuck on in a will, and it's "reclining" ("the large painting of a Lady sitting in rather a reclining attitude") and yes, I intend to try to track this painting down!

Same with my Mom. 10-20 years ago that little opener meant someone (that I probably don't remember) was getting married or having a baby. Now it probably means they died. Sad but true.
My mum asked if I remembered someone so I instantly knew they’d died

Genealogy & archives folks, any of you tried Transkribus yet? (AI handwriting transcription tool). It's not awesome on it's initial pass on an 1807 will written in the classic old English style of handwriting, but I'm hoping it'll learn well enough that I can transcribe other long wills at speed!

I need to remind myself this all the time. My AuDHD ass tried to do 6 major new things in a year and was disappointed with my progress. I am REALLY good at finding ways to burn out! Ooops.

Henry Edward Levine became a citizen in 1916, despite not even knowing what port he entered the U.S. from or the name of the ship he came on.
But yes, please lecture contemporary immigrants about how your ancestors did it "the right way."

I wonder how many upper-class British dudes in history had severe inattentive-type ADHD and no one ever noticed it because they had neurotypical valets

Is it weird to have a crush on a travel search website? Cruiseplum has AMAZING 'power tools' that I am very excited to try out.
Cruising is a great for neurodivergent travelers - it's very safe & structured, food is all taken care of, and many lovely destinations without re-packing!

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.
