Ooh what a fabulous crop! That’s something I really miss in Australia. I used to make it with my mum and aunt every year. Such a Christmas treat…

Look for a blog by Dana Leeds on the Leeds method. There are also YouTube videos. Ideally it will give you 4 groups or clusters of DNA matches. Do genealogy to figure out how each group connects. Should correspond to your 4 grandparent names. Check these match documentary evidence.

Yep me too in England - Hawkins’ triangle. Iron goods from England to Africa, slaves from Africa to West Indies, sugar and tobacco back to England.

Still a WIP - don’t have everyone on yet. But my strategy has always been to put as much of my research in as many places as possible as I don’t have interested family. #genchat

Don’t know if it’s connected but I’ve had a bunch of feeds showing up as unavailable when I look at my Manage feeds list. Some are back this morning.

I keep saying that every car park should be covered in raised solar panels. The land is already concreted over so better than using prime agricultural land. Could park cars underneath so they’re out of the rain and don’t get stinking hot in the sun. Wins all round!

I've been doing genealogy for just under two years and I've learned an immense amount from amateur and professional genealogists on social media: day to day comments, links to online resources, blogs, vlogs and to forthcoming events and thoughts on dilemmas. In short, they've taught me what to do.

RootsMagic has Associations. You can then choose association types like employer, teacher, neighbour, household etc.

Looking forward to it coming out. 😀

I’ve been using RM10 since it came out and very happy with it. I loved RM7 too but 10 has loads of great features- copy/paste facts, multiple colour sets, saved searches are just a few.

I'm afraid I don't remember the music - just standing in the PE hall in my vest, navy knickers and plimsolls, with my arms in the air swaying in the breeze 🤣 #genchat
