It seems that I've spent the last two hours researching the administrative history of #Hungary (in order to be able to maybe create the Hungarian #Steurenthaler branch during #January2026ConnectAThon) and how to add the results to #Wikidata (in order to be able to have the locations generated by the #WikiTree browser extension #WikiTreeBEE then). At least, I've found a Hungarian Wikidata user and three German gazetteers from 1780 until 1845 in the process (see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Hungary_resources#Gazetteers_and_Directories ) #Nerdkram

Das mit der App hat Charme und auch das Zooming gefällt mir bei Geneanet. Ansonsten finde ich die Bedienung etwas unhandlich. #CompGen hat dafür keine kommerziellen Interessen. Das Interface zum Indexieren ist echt in Ordnung, wenn man die Tastaturkürzel kennt, die Browser Extension #WikiTreeBEE optimiert da noch ein wenig mehr). Wenn man eh den ganzen Friedhof ablichtet, finde ich den Transfer als Zip-Datei nicht schlimm. Bei fremden Friedhöfen lasse ich andere indexieren.

Work was a downer, but:
- found a new mystery while setting up the page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Steurenthaler_in_Newspapers for the #Steurenthaler #OneNameStudy
- managed to help out @magnusmanske with something I picked up at @wikidata working on and with the Wikidata Places feature in #WikiTreeBEE
- my #Mastodon bot accounts keep posting and are also starting to have interactions

- couldn't sleep anymore at 3:30, came up with an idea for #WikiTreeBEE and simply had to implement it right away 🥰
- nice conversation with someone from here, whom I initially had gotten completely wrong
- managed to pull my weekend chores and to get a few emails done, among them one from #July2023ConnectAThon, that led to the creation of Michael #Kaltenbach https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kaltenbach-284 , who might have emigrated from #Simonswald to #WheelingWV

- after brushing teeth together and him bathing, there was a long cuddle with #Gelbi, where he sat on my knee and leaned on my hand while drying
- did some coding to improve #WikiTreeBEE's handling of #Wikipedia redirects when searching locations at #Wikidata
- managed to cut off some annoying branches from a plant near our outside stairs
