As a genealogist, family historian and keeper of the past, I am gutted to see the National Archivist Colleen J. Shogan, was fired. No reasoning. No cause. No explanation. It's clear the path being taken and I am beyond disgusted. We must protect the National Archives and the millions of records.

Another wonderful blog entry by Darcy Moore - I love to assist with research for these pieces. So fascinating to tease out the fine details of family history and then see them artfully woven together by Darcy.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story of Arthur Blair, Relieving Assistant Commissioner in Calcutta, who died of the same disease which would later claim his nephew, throws more light on the importance of understanding #Orwell's Anglo-Indian ancestry on his outlook! www.darcymoore.net/2024/11/24/o...
Orwell’s Uncles: George & Arthur - Darcy Moore
Why did George Orwell join the Indian Imperial Police? He told Sonia Brownell – who was curious as to why her husband pursued this career rather than ‘Oxbridge’ – that it was a ‘long and complicated s...

Eros with chilblains by @darcy1968.bsky.social. Ruth Pitter’s observations as #Orwell struggled to become a writer make her a rare eyewitness into opaque period of Eric Blair’s life prior to assuming his famous pseudonym. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory.

"Orwell & the Earl of Cardigan". Romance, scandal, history, military, automobiles! Cracker of a piece by Darcy Moore. I'm left teetering on the edge of an even deeper dive down the rabbit hole of Orwell's periphery. #GeorgeOrwell #Genealogy #familyhistory www.darcymoore.net/2023/08/20/o...
