And that’s okay! Other genealogy chats have popped up over the years, and there are several vibrant chats now on Bluesky (#GenHour, #AncestryHour and others). #genchat

To Mastodon #genchat , I say I’m sorry that isn’t the case, and sadly I’ve found that bridging to & from Bluesky is spotty at best. I’ve so appreciated your faithful attendance and participation these past 3 years!

As we wrap up #GenHour... I don't know who it was that sent me to stevemorse.org/census/unifi... But thank you, wow... I fell down the rabbit hole again, exploring the residents of my block in 1950. Our home was owned by a custodian. His wife was a housewife. The neighbor was a barber. #1950s

Avast ye, mate! Sorry to miss #GenHour. I was busy wrangling the video to post with notes and details from our Projectkin's Emma Explores program today. You'll find the recording at Projectkin.org/emma-explores. Perhaps we'll see you next month? Register at projectkin.org/events

#OnThisDay in 2006 was the funeral service for my father in Bexhill, East Sussex. He was 87 years old. My nephew called him a gentleman and he was. A kind, caring gentle man who rarely raised his voice. It is appropriate that I am looking for more newspaper reports of him #FamilyHistory #GenHour

Rushing in late to #GenHour tonight as needed to get my things ready for going to my crafting group tomorrow. Co-ordinating paper colours. I should have sorted earlier in the day but instead was putting more ancestors in my tree! Now writing a blog for #AtoZChallenge month. #OnePlaceStudy

A newspaper article🔗 I found yesterday (link is to clipping at Findmypast) for my Waters Upton #OnePlaceStudy has made me appreciate the usefulness of articles relating to wedding anniversaries! Lots of great info on family members, also past occupations – including “crow-starving”! #GenHour

Going to add a #GenHour tag to this too as the hour is about to begin and several one-placers usually take part!

Our #OnePlaceStudies blogging and social media prompt for March may just have, erm, prompted me to add a new section to my Waters Upton #OnePlaceStudy website! More to add to it, and hopefully a few blog posts in the pipeline about education, and teachers, in the parish. #GenHour

I have written two short blog posts for my #FamilyHistory and scheduling them weekly. Also researching/writing blog posts for the #AtoZChallenge about my #OnePlaceStudy so it is a busy time #GenHour
