One of those "Family Historians" rather than a true qualified Genealogist 😃
#ChatGPT argh this is frustrating. I've spent a day trying to get a grey scale image now. Don't recall it taking this long on previous requests before 🤨

Some of my latest #colouring pages the last few days

When your trying to get comfortable enough to read but Fibromyalgia flare up decides to make an appearance instead 😭

Think I can safely say after this weekend that I've got a little budding artist who deletes her work if it's not up to perfection. Keep it up Bambi! Be worth a fortune one day 🤨😃

Absolute epic moment this weekend in terms of #genealogy and #familyhistory. Not only do I find that Gareth Southgate is the current owner of a distant Uncle's home but my Nan's 1st cousin, 1x removed may have photo's of her Dad & praying she has them for her Mum 🤞

Working on my first ever #loomknitting project. A figure of 8 stitch blanket that I hope to put together in 2 panels as this is the only loom I seem comfortable with. Will it work? I don't know, am I having fun learning to knit this way? Oh yeah! 😉

How legit is the relatives section of #RootsTech on #FamilySearch? Had someone pop up who shows connected to me through my Mum, her Dad and yet.... #DNA is through her Mum 🤨 Been trying to work out our connection for a year now #genealogy #familyhistory

I finally got the #Embroidery finished and then stitched it around the card ready to frame tomorrow only to find I've put the card the wrong way round 🤣 First ever embroidery design

Round 2, took the clock out as it was too fiddly and added the date July 2nd 1981 in its place and changed the fonts in the Crests. Luckily fits the new #embroidery frame fully this time 😉

Best pen for doing #Embroidery #crossstitch designs as it's something I'm really struggling with right now 😭
January 2, 2025 at 10:27 PM
Slowly getting there with my first ever freehand #embroidery #handstitch design
December 16, 2024 at 10:20 PM
I feel like my first actual #embroidery design seems to be going well soo far

When you decide to take a break from #Genealogy to work on #Embroidery designs and still end up doing #familyhistory themed anyway 🤣

Took a while but I've finally managed to create a suitable replacement template for this one. Needs an update after 10 years 😃 #genealogy #familyhistory

Cozy scene, a must have when typing up what feels like an essay on a name change 🤣 #ancestry #familytree #genealogy

One of those nights of putting together the Button to Burton Surname Mystery at last 🤯 #ancestry #genealogy #yorkancestry #familyhistory
November 22, 2024 at 11:02 PM
I think I'm finally ready to combine this into a final conclusion on the Button to Burton surname change 🤯
November 19, 2024 at 11:22 PM
Oh Family Tree Oh Family Tree
How you're proving to be a mystery

I thought George William Button changing his name to Burton was bad. It got much worse with his father John 🤯 #Genealogy #Familyhistory #York #ancestry
November 18, 2024 at 10:26 PM
But of late night/early morning reading
November 16, 2024 at 1:44 AM
Rapidly coming to the conclusion I have the male version of Mr Bouquet within my 2nd Great Grandfather with his name changing between Button & Burton. Only waiting on the Marriage certificate as proof of Father now #genealogy #familyhistory #york

Hello again old friend #Stockton-on-Tees #Christmas

So utterly frustrating & confused to find I may have over 200 people to delete. George William Burton or Button?? He's mixed between both surnames on every record by the looks of it #genealogy #familyhistory

So happy to have found this one tonight putting an end to his war career having served from 1919-1945 😃

Let us not forget them ♥️

@uoyborthwick.bsky.social any suggestions for searching for the Grey coat school mentioned here in this 1921 Census as I'm very curious about the person listed, in particular any mention of her father
