I sometimes am shocked to hear that not everyone knows about the GRO’s own birth and death indexes and cheaper digital certificate copies for England and Wales. Here’s some more detail. Don’t pay more than you need to!

Glastonbury 2025 tickets sold out in 40 minutes and, despite the ‘enhanced’ booking system, I failed to get a ticket (again). Didn’t want to go anyway. 🤣

Guys, This info is so good to know. Lots of good stuff you need to know here.
For example, Blue Sky has a thing called Sky etiquette. It is considered bad etiquette to post pictures of the orange guy here on Blue Sky!
I didn't know & I apologize. I'll refrain from that in the future.

It's up!!!! My Explainer video for BlueSky beginners.
I cover how to find your Twitter followers, Starter Packs, Feeds, Lists, some handy-dandy tools, and BlueSky etiquette.
Please watch and/or share with any newbies you know. I think it's helpful.
