Especially with the professional genealogy symposium hosted by @apgenealogists.bsky.social as well.

#GenHour #Genealogy

One part of me wants to celebrate, and another part hopes this isn't ruining an assessment project.

#GenHour

There will likely be an update as the client is now going to travel to the UK to visit some of the places etc.

But the good news is the file has just gone to the publisher. 🍾

#GenHour

Can't we have both...

#GenHour #AncestryHour

It's a fabulous way to find material that has been at FamilySearch for years but that you might not have picked up on with the bonus of being able to search the names within the records.

#GenHour

I have a couple of those.

What's a shame, is that those (and birthday books) that we all used to have are now replaced by phones in which you just overwrite the new address.

Another source future genealogists won't have. Bring back paper!

#GenHour

That's a source we don't often use for research.

#GenHour

The one I researched had drawings as well.

They're also a great way to find out who was in the FAN network in the branch of the family, which can lead to all sorts of interesting research.

#GenHour

I got the chance to research some family heirlooms for a TV series here in NZ. One was an autograph book and since the show aired, so many people have told me about their autograph books. As a bonus a cousin bought one from our family to show me too, which I didn't know existed.

#GenHour

This is such a fantastic project.

Julia Bradshaw at Canterbury Museum is working on a project with regard to female miners on the goldfields. She may be interested in your project.

#GenHour

Yes... now I'm following up all the daughters and their marriages. Handy knowing their married name.

#GenHour

I have a friend whose family did similar but with a film from NZ to England. She'd love to find it now, but thinks it was mixed up with a group of other films and donated to an organisation (but just not sure which one).

#GenHour

Off to count ancestors.

#GenHour

I wish we had census registers in New Zealand. Ours were destroyed.

#GenHour

Thanks.

I have a free guide on my website that gives you a family history file structure if that helps. I use the same structure for physical and digital files.

PS. Did you know the boxes from wine make really good boxes for the storage of A5 size books.
