Off to a slow start on #WikiTree #ConnectAThonXIII, but every addition counts.

Happy New Year, all! Here's to another year of ancestor hunting. May the records that release in 2025 break your brick walls and tie up your loose ends!

George died in November 1938.

Mona remarried in 1938.

If this was my own tree, I'd be buying some certificates for confirmation!

I've seen similar cases where couples can't divorce and just get on with their lives; remarrying as soon as one of them dies.

Genealogists aren’t the only people worried about fake images tainting research.

Taking an idle look into a friend's family tree and what do I find? Murder, mayhem and intrigue. Gripped by a mixture of fascination and heartbreak.

The Bluesky algorithm has decided I want lots of librarian and library content, and that's absolutely fine by me. Good algorithm!

Hi, I'm Carol!

I started my personal family tree around 1992 and, in 1998, I impulsively named it The Mighty Big Tree.

Every branch of my family arrived in Australia in the 19th century , primarily from the UK (one random branch from Prussia).
