How come when you're just about to publish a family history book you find new material... that's what it's been like the last couple of weeks. Helped by the Family Search Full Text Search.

That moment when you find the document that you never knew existed and which proved a theory. I go that twice this week. One will for a client and one naturalisation (for me).
Roll on next week.

I think that might be a Remarkable. @miagen.bsky.social was showing us her device at the retreat.
So sorry to hear this. But also will you share the tech purchase dreams for those of us that won’t have disappointing tax bills for another several months?

Woo hoo... it's the Escape to the Past Retreat this weekend.

Trying to work out which books the genies might want to use off my shelf and not making the boxes too heavy to carry.

What's your go to book for family history?

Had a great night talking about researching family heirlooms last night to Canterbury Genealogy.

So I post this question to you... What are you going to do with your family heirlooms?

Really looking forward to the Escape to the Past Family History Retreat next weekend with @miagen.bsky.social.

A whole weekend of just doing family history and having someone else cook and clean.

We're planning a UK one for next year. Let me know if you're interested.

I'm giving a talk tonight to IHGS on Family History in the AI Era.
Find out what AI can do for your family history and what it can't? I'll show you how AI is changing the game, making it way simpler to explore where you come from.
